Labor Day 2009
On Labor Day, we played in the wading pool and ate homemade ice cream - Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Chip. Nothing like homemade ice cream on a hot summer night (In the yard so we could hose everything and everyone off where we were done!)
Yummy!
Johnathan rests from his labor. It's a lot of work being 3.
And speaking of labor, I ran across this picture from 4 months ago of the flower beds in the front of the parsonage. So, to show off my new-found gardening prowess (ha ha), here's a before picture...
...and after.

But to tell the truth, I do little more than weed it occasionally and throw the sprinkler on it. I sure do love gazing at it, though, and I'm thankful to those who planted it before I arrived!!

Kidnapping!
No youth pastors were harmed in the making of this post... At least not too much!
Joseph is Zion's youth pastor intern, and his fiance is Amber. Little did they know that when their premarital counseling appointment on Saturday was over they would be abducted and taken blindfolded by the youth group for bachelor and bachelorette parties!
Amber was taken away for breakfast, manicures, and makeovers.
Joseph was taken out back to be abused with silly string in the back of a pickup. (Notice Pastor Kevin fleeing the scene of the crime!) The boys then played lasertag and bowled.
The youth group rounded out the abduction with lunch and sharing what they appreciated about Joseph and Amber. So all that abuse was really because they are loved!!

Artistic Endeavors
Here are a few pictures from our jaunt to the Children's Museum on Monday...
Naomi paints a Bug
Johnathan's spaceman mask
I think Naomi has the makings of a teacher in her. Here she reads to her class of chessmen.
Johnathan takes a bow!

Awana Kicks Off
Last Wednesday the kids and Kevin headed off for the first night of Awana. The theme was Team night, so the boys wore Broncos, of course! Johnathan wore his Daddy's childhood Bronco's uniform, and Naomi wore her Aggies shirt. Naomi was very excited to be back at Cubbies, and Johnathan started Puggles!
What I learned from my pastor... 9-6
From John 6, Kevin preached about three types of people who followed Jesus: crowds, critics, and, to borrow a term that would be used later, Christians. The crowds were those who based their interest in Jesus on emotions and circumstances, looking for what He might give them - food, miracles, wonders. The critics questioned Him, unable to see past their misconceptions about the messiah and trusting in their own superior knowledge. But Jesus' true disciples knew who Jesus truly is and understood when He told them He was the bread of life. Kevin pointed out that to eat the bread of life is to listen, trust, and respond to the words of Jesus.
