Lighten Up: September 2008
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Let your light shine in the world. Friday, September 26, 2008. Kudos to our young people. I got a message on Facebook this morning from one of our church youth. I had written to ask Tim how he'd done in the fair this last week. He emailed me back with enthusiasm. He took second place with his 302 pound pig this year. His pig was the seventh largest at the fair! His pair of pigs sold for large sum of money! Saturday, September 20, 2008. Well, this is a little scary. It's my first blog! A Supreme Being Who .

Lighten Up: Couch Potato!
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008/10/couch-potato.html
Let your light shine in the world. Monday, October 6, 2008. We had another crazy youth group event last night. I believe Mike thought I had lost my mind. After supper and worship we loaded two old couches from the youth rooms onto table trolleys and ran races in the parking lot. (I never realized that the parking lot wasn't level. There really is quite a slope to it.) The kids had a marvelous time as you can see from the pictures. October 6, 2008 at 3:45 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lighten Up: The Working Poor
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008/12/working-poor.html
Let your light shine in the world. Monday, December 1, 2008. The last of the required books are read for my upcoming class at Louisville Theological Seminary, scheduled for the first week of January. I submitted my papers late last night. I am still rejoicing! It was an interesting group of readings, and I have written about a couple of the books on this blog. However, the book that impressed me the most, I only just finished. The Working Poor: Invisible in America. Does she have health care? Is a 3000 y...

Lighten Up: Encouraging Change
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008/10/encouraging-change.html
Let your light shine in the world. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Our electorate is in the market for candidates who cast themselves as agents of “change.” I am sure humans still generally hate change. I believe our expressed desire for something different is actually a yearning for something better. I have been observing change close at hand in recent days: good and important change, the kind for which one is thankful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Email Subscriptions powered by FeedBlitz.

Lighten Up: The Advent of Children
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008/10/advent-of-children.html
Let your light shine in the world. Thursday, October 23, 2008. The Advent of Children. It seems our church members are getting shorter these days. There are crowds of little people running through the halls, fingerprinting our walls and interrupting our thoughtful meetings. Several years ago the Session, while on retreat, courageously elected to focus on ministry to children, youth and their families. This was courageous because we didn’t have many children in the church at that time. Then, under the sup...

Lighten Up: Wow, what a night!
http://lightenup-first.blogspot.com/2008/10/wow-what-night.html
Let your light shine in the world. Thursday, October 2, 2008. Wow, what a night! I called Mike out of the basement and phoned the vet. In minutes we were off to the animal hospital, praying that Cinnamon would hang on until we got there. Of course, we ran into a closed road and a detour! If that sounds gross, I'm sorry. It's nothing compared to being there! Oh and as to the hot water heater and the gas in the house. Son #3 called Pattengales while we were at the vets. Phil and Carol Ann finished ...Isn't...
