What about your kids birthday parties? What do you do? (The baby is turning one this week. I can't believe it. We're having a family thing today.) But what about the older kids. Who can you invite w/o making others feel bad? I would like to throw a b'd...

I just spent the last week with a bunch of junior highers up at camp! Why was a children's pastor working at Jr. Teen camp? Well, here are your options (the snappy comebacks I came up with!): a. I was trying to bond with them so that I could convince them to be on my puppet team! b. Our youth...

I'm very moody today. It has to do w/ dh. He hasn't taken a day off now in a week and a half. It will be Saturday before he will take a day off. To be honest, not all is his fault. (We're putting in a basketball court at the church & the concrete people were supposed to come Monda...

When you know it is expected that the whole church (several hundred people) will want to come to your daughter's wedding, does anyone have any gracious ways of asking for help? I feel that if we are "expected" to provide a beautifully decorated room, cake, service for this many people that perhaps the...

Take a moment and just think. Think before you type. What is different about you? What are some of the most unique things about you that make you who you are and set you apart? After reading an article by a christian author along those lines I was like "Am I the only one who cant name what those things are wit...

Hey ladies -- This is sad to us- and when you're a small church - every body makes a dfiference. Well - by that I mean another family left our church for a different one. Granted, it is "closer" to their home (new home in the country) - but my goodness - we have other members who drive just as far or furthe...

Hi, Everyone: I have had quite a week & haven’t been able to get online that much. We’ve had the hurricane. I was sick for a couple of days. Then my 3 year old son was sick – running a fever of 102 degrees (& over) for a couple of days. He started feeling better & then the ba...

Hi, All: Please say a special prayer for us tomorrow night. Our presbyter is coming tomorrow night to the church to have a "town hall meeting" with us. (Since we are not a sovereign church, we do not have a board (which can be good) and our church people cannot vote.) Anyway...

Just thought that I'd let you know that our wonderful duck, Doodles, did not make it. "Something" took it away from us last night. (I will not give you the gorey details.) I am heartbroken --- at least when I think of the $100 duck pen dh made for it. But I have a feeling there will be mor...
