Thankful
You may know that my pastor/husband is the shepherd for two churches. The churches are 30 miles apart.
It snows EVERYDAY in the U.P. of Michigan.
He didn't make it to the second church service this morning.
An Elder went to pick him up and bring him back, and another Elder preached his sermon. Thank goodness he left it in the pulpit.
He is fine.
There were 3 cars, a logging truck, 2 snowmobile trailers, and a tow truck involved in this accident.
Yup, seven vehicles.
And another landed in the ditch after he left.
Thank the Lord!
Youth Group Bowling...and a Lutheran Fact...
This bowling ball had a bit of a soda accident... and the wholes were filled with soda... oops! Thank Goodness it was diet!
Did you know that Martin Luther also sort of "invented" the game of
BOWLING?!
That's right!
Martin Luther was an avid bowler who had his own bowling lane. Many bowling historians credit him with standardizing the rules of bowling and fixing the number of pins at nine. Bowling became an important part of German culture, and children were often taught that thunderstorms were due to St. Peter and the angels bowling.

Changes... Patience
I am trying to be patient and stress-free during some changes in our family. I am not usually a stress-filled wife, mommy, person... but this time of my life is full of change. All of the change is totally and completely out of my control (which I am also not usually concerned about) and I am getting stuck in the ho-hum attitude. So I am going to our comforting, caring, constant Father and am happy to begin this new Psalm study with a group of ladies... Changes will be announced as they come to fruition, meanwhile may HE calm my heart and home.

Super Bowl Buffet
This superbowl was spent at our house with great friends. We had some wonderful laughs, a little shouting at the television, some prayerful moments of fellowship, and of course, good food! Thanks be to God!
I used my salvaged-from-the-side-of-the-road oldtimey washing machine as our beverage cooler, with the opened lid as a tea service. Fun. It was easy to drain out the water the next morning... I did place a large trash bag to keep most of the ice in, but wouldn't use that step next time.
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Peppers stuffed with cream cheese... oh my!
