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!

smile      Problem R.J.?
Thanks so much to all those who gave up study time to come and make my
ideas a success. And special thanks to R.J. who I woke up on Friday
morning with a cry for help and he answered right away.

I want to affirm Micah on his birthday
and point out how the time in chapel was consistent with the rest of
his life. Here it was, his day; everyone has something good they can
say about Micah, because his character is so apparent in all that he
does. But even here, he put aside his own time of recognition and
directed our focus towards someone else. God bless you Micah and the
integrity of your heart. Happy Birthday!
