Mom, Dad, and Micah, left our place around 9 on Friday morn. to spend the weekend with Tom's. The cow bones stayed here and I will need to dispose of them. On Friday eve., Phil, Michael, Susan and I went to Cornerstone Christian Academy to help with their pancake supper fundraiser event. It was great. There was a live Country/Bluegrass band made up of local talent. Phil made pancake batter in the kitchen and Michael made pancakes. Susan cleaned up her desk and classroom and I sold raffle tickets and took lots of pictures with the school camera. The place was packed with community and school folks all endeavoring to help make the school succeed. We are grateful to be connected with these dear, good people.
Susan spent the night with Hannah and they brought her back on Sat. around noon. We cleaned the house and prepared Sunday's lunch. In the evening, we went over to Tom and Helen's for a Pizza night. Helen makes the best pizza. We checked into Johnny's face book that a friend started up for the friends and family of John Hertzler. People write in their memories and their thoughts about his death. Quite a few photos of him are posted as well. It is always bittersweet to revisit his life and the pain of not having him.
On Sunday we went to church. Gil and Lindsay dedicated Adi. She went right to Pastor Frank when he held out his arms to her. He wished he could go somewhere and just snuggle with her; she was so warm and friendly. But I got to hold her and she fell asleep in my arms. There is nothing more wonderful than holding a sleeping baby in one's arms while worshiping God. Gil and Lindsay and the girls came to our house for lunch and we hung out together for the afternoon and then met in the back row of church to watch the movie, "Fireproof." Our church is being pro-active in giving support to marriages in all stages of growth and/or deterioration. It is a big challenge to provide help to so many people. I think the reason God hates divorce so much is because marriage is a symbol of His covenant with the church. His prayer for the church is that they would be one with Him and one with each other. Divorce is just the opposite of the answer of His prayer for the church.

You see? Another thing in common - support for marriage between a man and women, 'til death do us part. May God bless the work your church is doing to uphold this sacred sacrament.
