Resurrection Day Service at TLCC

We had a great service last Sunday. I don't know why the pictures got all out of order. Top picture is our church getting ready to release balloons (after the service) to show that we are ready to have risky faith, show sacrificial love, become the walking redeemed, or fulfill our divine destiny. We each picked up a balloon of the area we wanted to be challenged in and released it as we said the Lord's prayer together. We released them as we said, "Your kingdom come!"

The next picture is Jezra saying his monologue as Edmond in Chronicles of Narnia talking about sacrificial love. The third picture is after the balloons were released. The last one is Breanna and Katie playing "Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded" for the offertory. It was a very meaningful service challenging us to fulfill the purpose Christ has for each of us. He died and rose again for a reason...so we can reveal his nature to the world and that his kingdom will come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Happy Resurrection Day!

I'm so glad that my Savior lives and paid the price for my sins! Hallelujah!

A Tree-climbing Dog!

I was watching Cinnamon bark at a squirrel in the tree when I saw her jump up to the split and come through it. I had to watch a long time for her to do it again for the camera but it was worth it! She was in the tree between the two big branches! What a dog!

Time change for hoosiers!

We survived our first time change! Last Sunday, us non-time-changing hoosiers had to set our clocks ahead one hour on Sunday morning. It's been a little weird for me because I feel like I'm getting up so early! And at 10 p.m. I don't feel tired enough to go to sleep. It's also weird for it to be light outside until almost 8 p.m. Monday night Breanna said, "Dad, why are you home so early?" I said, "Breanna, it's 6:15." It was still sunny outside and not getting dark at all so it felt very early to be eating supper! The nice thing about it will be having a lot of daylight after supper to get yardwork done and to see Dustin run in track. It also means that I will always be on the same time as my sisters!

It's spring break this week so our kids don't have to adjust to the earlier time to school until after they are adjusted to the new time.

I'm sure all of you who've been changing your time for years and years don't have much difficulty with it anymore. I know it will get that way for us hoosiers, too, unless our silly legislature decides to change it back to the way it was. I wouldn't put it past them!
