Walnut Ridge Baptist Church

Well, Ryan and Kent have been going to the church on the corner for a few weeks now and seemed to like it, so I decided to give it a try. We had Kent over for dinner again tonight and after we ate, I got the girls dressed and we all went to church. Kenzie got enrolled in a club there called AWANA. It stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, which was taken from 2 Timothy 2:15. She loved it. She was so in love with the fact that this church unlike the one we were attending not on a regular basis has kids her age she can relate to. While Kenzie was in Cubbies (her age group for the AWANA club) Ryan, Kent and I took Maddie into the sanctuary with us. She of course got vocal, just talking up a storm, and out of respect, I took her to the lobby and sat her down, all she wanted was to crawl everywhere. When I did that she piped right down and crawled and crawled. She was in baby heaven being let down. They didn't have a nursery worker tonight, so she had to be with us. I think that we will alternate one week, if someone has to step out it will be me and the next week will be Ryan. When we came home, I changed Maddie and put her down, after a few minutes of protest she was asleep. Kenzie and I watched Charlottes Web for the 15th time. Ryan and Kent had a prayer session next door. And now I am working on some of my computer stuff. I have several posts to do, so I am off to do that. Have a great night!

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
