We had a guest preacher at church for this special event, and his message was outstanding. He said a couple of things in his sermon that I wanted to share with you. Isaiah did an outstanding job behaving, so I could listen. Except for the tiny little incident where he bumped his head on the pew. Ouch! Don't worry - he's okay.
1.) "It is the urgency of eternity that sets our hearts Ablaze with love for Jesus." How true!!!
2.) Keep in mind, the pastor (if anyone remembers his name, please remind me!) came to us from a Lutheran home for the disabled - Bethesda. "When some people see someone who is disabled, they say God had a special or different plan for them. Well, he does have a plan. Law and Gospel. Confession and forgiveness." Hello! It's the same plan for all of us - disabled or not. We are all the same.
So there's my deep thoughts. They really gave me something to think about. A good sermon is like a good movie. You walk around the rest of the day pondering it!
Enjoy the pictures!
" Look at all of the balls, um, I mean pumpkins."Isaiah kept calling the pumpkins balls. So cute!
"I love my daddy!"
"I love my mommy!"
"I just can't decide which pumpkin I want to take home."
"Well, if I can only pick one, then I choose this one!"

It is Pastor Kneer, the K is silent. And I also thought that is message was profound. I got a lot out of his sermon, and with his presentation in the Community Room. Very good deep thoughts. And cute pictures of all of you.
LOVE the pictures! You know we don't have those kinds of pumpkin patches down here! They would all be sitting in sand. I absolutely LOVE this time of year. And it looks like "little I" does too!
How true....'a good sermon is like a good movie'!!!
