Today we had the Lord’s supper at church so we taught our girls Sunday school class about it.
The
girls didn’t realize that the Lord’s supper was really the Passover
feast or even that the Passover feast came from the Exodus. After
showing them some of the background and stuff, we broke up and examined
ourselves. I had a really good time as far as realizing how my past sin
had no effect on me any more. I kind of pictured myself soaring up
through the clouds as layer by layer the old man fell off of me and I
became a translucent being – just my soul, which is all that will be
seen on judgement day. I know it sounds funny but it’s hard to put into
words. I just know that it was a freeing and wonderful realization 
and I just wanted share it.

Well, yesterday Stacie took her very last test, she is done! From
September last year to October of this year she has diligently worked
and as soon as this tet score is registered she will be the possesor of
120 college credits. Way to go Stacie, the Lord as blessed your diligence.

We got our election ballots in the mail. We voted for God’s definition
of marriage. We sent them off in the mail. I love democracy. Get out
there and vote people!

Today we went to Detroit to teach the girls Sunday school class, then
on to the Henry Ford Museum to see Greenfield village. The class went
really well as we studied the command, Follow Me. We arrived (after
many turns and “detours”) and breezed in on our memberships.
We had read that there would be food cooked in the manner of that time
period so we turned down lunch in favor of that. Unfortunately the food
was for looks and not for eating so our stomachs growled as we looked
on – we were mighty glad to get home and eat.
There were at least a thousand pumpkins Jeanne tries her hand at safe cracking
but this one was unique.
We met this sweet little lady in the
Stacie and Jeanne were a little disappointed
jewelers shop
to
find out that Amy had misinformed them
about the food -Jeanne was VERY hungry
I finally bribed Jeanne to get me off the tracks by suggesting that we
could get some cereal back at the Inn. A little confusion with
directions getting back – I tell you, people in Detroit don’t know
beans about where anything is, Stacie and the map did muh better. All
in all, a really good day, praise God for a chance to just enjoy life
as He gives it out.

Wow, the Harvest Fest went so well! The weather was beautiful, the
costumes were….interesting, and of the food came out wonderful. The
first was God’s doing, the second, well some of those had to be a group
effort, and the last only came about through the help of some wonderful
people who showed up in the kitchen and worked harder than I could have
hoped. Here are some pics of the help that can be hired around here:
No pictures please!
