Time once again for a movie night!  It will begin at 7:00 PM and there will be free snacks and drinks.  Bring a chair and/or blanket and join the fun.  We will be inside so come rain or shine.

Each group participating had fifteen minutes to set up their stage, preform their puppet skit, and then clear the stage.  They were grades on time keeping, content, presentation, and art work.

Our group did an outstanding job.  The clips below do not do them justice.  They are large files so may take a while to download.  The lyrics to the song the fish sing are original and written by Haley.

Many thanks to all those who make this possible as well as those who were on hand to support the group.

Holiday Dinner - December 13, 2009

Once again this year we had our Holiday Dinner.  So many work together to make this evening possible.  Here are random pictures of this special family time.

Here is a video clip of the children singing Jingle Bells.  MVI_8225.AVI

At a retail women’s clothing store recently, my total amount came up to my birth year, $19.43.  I said, “That rings a bell, that’s my birth year.”

The cashier said, “It is?”

I said, “Yes mam, I’m 65 and I really like this time of my life.”

From behind me came a voice, “Why do you like being 65?”

I turned and found a woman somewhere near my age.  My response to her was, “At this age, I know who I am, what my principles are, where I’ve been and most of all, where I’m going.”

She said, “That’s a very good answer.  I can agree on everything but one.  I’m not sure where I’m going.”

Oh, saints, where were those cards I usually carry with the church address and times of meetings?  There was a line, so I felt I couldn’t interrupt everything to talk at length with her, or could I have?

We are to be seed planters.  I did plant a seed because she was really thinking about it; I just wish I had been prepared with that card.  Truly, I believe God wants me to learn from that experience and not beat myself up over it.

That will do … I’m already praying for another opportunity.  Would you pray for one too?

Love, Suzanne (Dillard)
