Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6

Summer Classes

Abbi and I have been getting ready for our Summer Class program : God's World Adventure Camp - Discovering God's Fingerprints Everywhere!

I had fun getting our project board ready and submitting ads to radio stations and tv and newspapers.

We're looking forward to starting in July! Please pray that we will have a good turn-out.

I'm hoping to update our lesson plans online as well!

Volleyball

We started playing volleyball every Friday night at church, just for fun!

Last week was our first time, and it rained a little, but not enough to stop us.

This week it's supposed to Thunderstorm?

I'm loosing Touch

I'm slowly realizing something about communication. It's something that ebbs and flows in different mediums, at least throughout my life it has.

Have you found this to be true: Email is getting less popular or effective?

The more I talk to people, the more I find they actually prefer talking face-to-face or phone-to-phone, than an email.

And Facebook is my nemesis.

I am not on Facebook. I have had pleanty of opportunities and well-meaning friends who have tried their best to convince me to join. But I'm not sure that you really want to know what color of pants I'm wearing today. Or how I'm feeling this hour (when it will be left up there for 4 hours even though my mood will change). Or that you want to see my lack of current pictures. I'm not sure that this influx of information will bring us any closer than a phone call, an email, a letter, or a visit will. And I'm not sure that I want to share that with the world.

Please understand, it's nothing personal. Yes, I definitely miss the ease of staying in touch that I lack, not being on facebook. But personally, I don't think being absent from that community is really what is hindering that. It's more my personality and laziness.

Believe me, I think of you quite often, but just never take the time to go the next step. It's something I want to work on. It's alot easier for me to blog or write a letter or email, than make phone calls or visits, but it's something that I've been thinking alot about this week, and Lord willing, will be growing from.

Card Making for Kids

I spent some time recently trying out these fun cards for kids!
I think they were a success.....and they were fun to mail out too!

Cupcakes

I'm so in the mood for cupcakes. I was browsing pictures on Martha Stewart Living's website and it was inspiring.The recipe said these sugared panseys keep for 3 months....hmmmm.....

And this recipe looks easy....just ignore the part about "sprinkles are optional." Sprinkles are never optional!

Unless you do something like this:

I'm so glad there's a potluck coming up!
