Just an Update on Life

It has occured to me I haven't blogged in many months. My biggest problem is I really am not into writing and I'd rather read others blogs. Well what has been going on at my house?

Daddy had the flu the past week, so he was home almost the whole week. The ladies were planning on visiting my Grandma in the middle of the state, but then a blizzard was predicted so we stayed home. Je already had the time off from work, so the four of kinda had a vacation together at home. We've watched lots of movies, made sugar cookies, looked out the window, watched the news on tv and ate some junk food. It has been pretty nice. Today both Daddy and Je are back at work. Tonight we plan to watch the movie Up for the first time. Maybe we'll pop some popcorn to eat while watching the movie.

Sunday night is going to be real busy for me. I believe I'm playing seven songs for my church's music service. Four of the songs are for the Kid's Choir made up of 7 kids. I'm also playing a solo piano piece, playing and singing a duet with Je, and playing the piano for two ladies while they sing a duet. My sister and I are organizing the service this time. We have a music service four times a year at a local retirement home.

From November 30th through today, Revive Our Hearts aired 10 programs on the church of Laodicea. Mommy, Je, and I were able to be in the audience during the recording of the programs in March. It has been pretty neat to actually hear the programs on the radio.

Last week, Daddy had a surprise 50th Birthday Party. He found out about it so it really wasn't a surprise. We posted huge pictures of him as a child around the church basement. It was a lot of fun. A Couple of Pictures of Daddy as a young man.

This fall a lady from church blessed us with bags upon bags of apples, so now our freezer has lots of homemade frozen applesauce in it. We also made a loaf of apple bread, and a couple of apple pies.

A crock-pot of delicious applesauce in the making.

A Day at a Revive Our Hearts Recording

Tuesday afternoon Je, Mommy, and I left for Niles, Michigan. Along the way we did some shopping. We arrived at our hotel around 5. After relaxing a bit, we walked over to Burger King to get a bite to eat. After supper we came back to our room and read for a while. From 7-10 we watched TLC. We watched 17 and Counting about the Duggar Family from 8-10. It was our first time seeing them on TV, and we greatly enjoyed it. Before that we had only seen them in person,(They were at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival). After an all to short night, we got up at 6 and got around for the day. About 8 we left for Buchanan, Life Action's Ministry Center, where the recording was. Nancy Leigh DeMoss taught on Revelation 3:14-21, which is the letter to the church in Laodicea. She recorded 5 programs in the morning, then 3 more in the afternoon. From 3-5 she did 2 Table Talk recordings. We had a delicious lunch provided by Revive Our Hearts. After lunch Nancy corralled the three of us into doing a little recording in the sound booth. You'll have to listen to find out if it's ever broadcast!! It was a delightful day of spending time in the Word and fellowshipping with like-minded ladies.
