SW Celebration DAY TWO

It is the morning after the day before today…. It was pouring rain all morning, so I skipped the costume and we headed down one hour after the doors opened and got in line with only about 50 people left and walked right in. Whew! It was a calculated risk, and paid off, considering yesterday the doors opened at noon and people were in line as early as 6-7am, and today the doors opened at 9am, so the line up started before the sun rose! We skipped the HOURS in line and got right in! Though, the ‘store’ was already closed due to the people inside being enough to keep them busy until 8pm! Good thing we got that over with yesterday. Here are some highlights from the day… MUCH more to come in the Gallery after the convention is over. My ‘hands free’ umbrella invention! How to know when you are getting close… General Grievous done shopping! Even Imperial Guards need to use the cell phone once in awhile And I thought my Star Destroyer was big! This 40,000+ piece lego Super Star Destroyer was amazing! Later, in the gallery, you will notice a small docking bay that inside…

Three Ring Circus… and then the Circus!

Today I got to visit TWO ‘three ring’ circuses! The first was Grove City Nazarene: RING ONE: The Adult Worship Center The adult service was amazing. This Sunday was the most moving baptism service I have ever been in. By the end I was crying… the lady next to me asked if I had family being baptized and I sputtered “I’m from out of town, I don’t even know any of these people.” :) I’ll definately be filling my church staff in on how they did the service! RING TWO: Club 345 (Grades 3-5) That’s Kim Bobb! Kim Bobb and the Band were bobbin’ to familiar tunes… before a powerpoint lesson and skit followed by small groups. Of course, in the free time before hand, I had a chance to teach the kids the finer art of speed stacking… Learning from the Master Stacker. RING THREE: Pastor Gregg and Faith Factor! (Grades 1-2) CHECK OUT THE GROVE CITY PHOTO GALLERY (3 PAGES!) The Children’s Pastor is Pastor Kimborah Bobb. I had a great time talking with her about how Grove City integrates the family into the overall ministry of the church. Kim Bobb and the Kids Matter logo. It’s obvious…

Oh! HI! Oh!

Well, DAY TWO of our sabbatical is underway. After a healthy nutritious breakfast… McBagel with Creme Cheese and Strawberry Jam! We headed to Webb’s Antique Mall (who puts those travel magazines in the hotel rooms!?!?!?!?), which claims to be largest in Indiana… Amazing… pay for old stuff, that costs more now than when it was new! While Sara shopped, I checked out the old cemetary next door and researched Steve Tanner’s roots. (and others, will be posted in the photo gallery to come!) Tanner than whom? Not any more. Next we decided to take in some of the local food to see how the natives eat here… Nothing like trying new places… Then, after taking in miles of the breath-taking Indiana landscape… Glad I brought my camera! We finally got to Ohio! Kim Bobb, here we come! Kim and Nick Bobb in their new home. And thier hypoallergenic dog, Cali.NOW WE ARE OFF TO HAVE SOME FUN, MORE LATER! Tomorrow is Kim’s church, a volunteer gathering, and the CIRCUS!

My Last Sunday…

Well, hopefully not MY LAST Sunday (on earth), but today is my last Sunday at Village Church until the END OF MAY!!! I will be on sabbatical, traveling from Chicago to Ohio to Washington down the coast through Oregon and Northern California to San Fransico and ending up in Yosemite before flying home and then after Star Wars III will be off for one more trip to Michigan and concluding with a long anticipated trip to Cedar Point! I’m going to miss being ‘on the job’ but with my new Treo 600 I will be connected throughout and able to get my laptop online to post here. I will post here as much as possible, and will be looking forward to COMMENTS posted here so I know I’m actually missed!! While I am excited about the Adventures planned (some really cool plans are in the works) I am also finding that it is really hard to leave – and most of all – hard to leave the KIDS I get to see and enjoy every week at church. I may only get to see them for a few hours a week, but they are the BEST hours of the week!!…
