This is a coffee table I purchased. It had a pie edge on it. The edge was cracked. Dave and I thought maybe we could repair it, but decided instead to remove the pie edge, put a bevel on it, and refinish it. It came out great. It is for sale for $65.00. I will have it at my garage sale on the 18th.

This is a picture of the original state.

Priceless

Happy Birthday Wyatt. Don't ever grow up.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

These are all first grade girls from Sunday morning Velocity at New Pointe Community Church. I really enjoy seeing them on Sunday. I made them a card using these photo arrangements because they will be moving up to second grade when school starts. Their personalities are wide ranging. I have one who makes hardly a sound from the moment she steps in the door until the time she leaves. Sometimes we sit quietly together and draw, small talk not required. I have another one who brings an energy to the class never before seen. When she is there, the whole dynamic of the class changes. She makes me work harder because she won't settle for boring. If I don't make it fun, she does. I think she will be president someday. Can you tell which one is which? They are all precious in their own way.

My New Little Friend

He lets me slip walnuts under the storm door. He teases the our cat.

Volunteers

The Right to Life booth will be at First Town Days. They're always looking for volunteers to operate the booth a couple hours in a day. Let me know. I'll get you in touch with the right people. It's a good time. See you there.

Kids with a heart for God

Pause my IPOD by clicking the bottom arrow on the IPOD before playing these, or they'll play simultaneously.
.

The second appearance from New Pointe's High School Worship Band. This is team B.
Big applause due for these for kids.
They did a great job! Again, my digital camera fails to take good videos. My apologies

Something uplifting

As always, turn off the IPOD by placing your curser on the bottom arrow of the IPOD to pause it so that it is not playing the same time as the video. Enjoy.

Music is back

I lost my music for awhile. I'm happy I got it back again, for now.

Chocolate lovers rejoice!!!!

Walmart lowered their six pack Hershey bar price from $3.64 to $2.50. Chocolate lovers rejoice!! I bought two.

Stop the music

DON'T FORGET TO PAUSE THE MUSIC ON THE IPOD BY CLICKING THE BOTTOM ARROW BEFORE YOU PLAY THE NEWPOINTE WORSHIP BAND VIDEO. OTHERWISE, YOU'LL BE HEARING THEM BOTH PLAY SIMULTANEOUSLY.

A great day

Today was an awesome day that I think I will remember for a long time. We have to be at church on Sundays at 7:00 AM because of the areas we are serving in. Most days I love being there early because after I get my classroom ready and pray, I go and watch the bands rehearse. It’s just a great place to be. I try to get to bed early on Saturday, but this Saturday I was unable to do so. I was really tired and my brain was in a fog. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to teach my Sunday school class well because I was unable to focus well. I passed our lead Pastor, Dwight Mason in the hallway on the way in to church. He asked me how I was and I said that I was a bit tired. He stopped in his tracks and prayed for me. I prayed again before class started because I knew I was in for a struggle. On top of that, the computers went down and we had to do manual check in. The girls poured in and we got started. I felt the Holy Spirit take over and class went amazingly well. In fact, it was the best class I had done in weeks. Without the Holy Spirit I would never have made it.

After class my son Kevin played for the first time in the Praise and Worship Band. Earlier in the week he got his braces off. I still feel like crap but today was a great day anyway. Thanks God, you’re awesome!

Praise and Worship

I have two videos to share of the premiere of NewPointe's High School Praise and Worship Band. The videos are taken with my digital camera and are quite fuzzy. The kids did really well for the first time. Don't you think?
