Our second day of Vacation Bible School.  More children joined us today.  The craft was an exquisite use of jello and fruit leather.  The craft allowed you to “see” into a rock.  All in an effort to remind us that we are “protected by God.”

My wife,  Jill, and I are involved in a Vacation Bible School this week.  One camper thought this was going to be  full week of camping, and not just a few hours a day.  She enjoyed the few hours and plans on being back tomorrow.  Others to meet new friends!  So, the first day and 10 campers – we expect more tomorrow!

We tried out fishing (with licorice, a bread stick, gummy worm and fish cookie) and building a framed Bible verse. 

Fun!!

Power point

I had great fun today.  On a usual Saturday before I preach I take my sermon notes and prepare a computer presentation.  For each sermon series I start with a template first slide.  The rest are usually simple outlines of the points of the sermon.

Today I tried a little something new.  With custom animation and slide transitions hopefully the graphics will make a point that complements my sermon. 

Which makes the point that people learn in many different.  And to set things up so that learning styles can be accommodated is important in any generation.  So, come tomorrow morning, you might want to come if you are in the area.  11:00 at the Kindersley Alliance Church we’ll venture into Psalm 103!

At the store

As we wandered through the store, seeking chicken, amazingly . . .

Sounds like the beginning of a great story.  But, it’s the normal happening in a small town.  Tonight we headed to the store to pick up a bargain in the freezer section. 

As we began to circulate the aisles we first came across one, then another.  They were people we have been acquainted with for some time, but haven’t seen in a while.  We talked of shingles, karaoke music and schooling. 

Then, we parted ways at the cashier aisles.   And on the way out I thought to myself – God has a sense of humor.  How often do we plan great plans to keep in contact with people when all we may need to do is fulfil our regular activities?!!
