Good morning
My kids...are still hyper...too much Easter Candy!!!
They are also blowing bubbles in the house and singing bubble, bubble forest.
It rather looks like one somehow
Its a pressie from Grandma...and their thoroughly enjoying it...even if its Kaylins pressie. LOL
Church yesterday. It was fascinating. We haven't had a full church in about 2.5-3 years. It was FULL yesterday. The elders in the last month have mended a TON of fences. Its rather fun to see. Even if the visionary on Friday things that Satan's winning, and going to hell in a handbasket...IMHO the only thing going down was all the cereal boxes.
One of the things their doing is doing some intensive leadership training for the men of the church. Something I've been frustrated with for a good five years. They asked the membership to present names of men who they felt would be good elder quality. And then they are going to have a month long training session with about 15 of them. Their not all going to be asked to be elders...I believe only two or three. But it is superb training for life, and a good time for the men to get to know each other rather then feeling like islands.
Rob was approached. He is a wonderful candidate...even if I am biased. He really is, he has a very calming personality, and a way of defusing the most tense situations. I've seen him work on committees and such since college. He so doesn't believe it. But after a lot of discussion he's going to take the training. I'm thrilled for him, as he needs the positive experience.
In all honesty...its me who quietly struggles with a feeling of complete inadequacy. I sooooooo can't see my self as the wife of an elder. I couldn't apparently even make people happy running a nursery.
God has a sense of humour. A BIG one.
I guess I'll keep working on my Keep my mouth shut policy......
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
