AWANA Lessons

Wednesday night I got to do the Bible lesson for our AWANA clubs. It was supposed to be the story of the prodigal son from Luke 15. I figured that many of them already knew the story, so I brought props and gave one to each of the kids. Then, I told the story and had them act it out complete with confetti for the party when the father welcomes the son home. They enjoyed it I think. It got me to thinking about God's mercy and forgiveness. It is truly undeserved. Somehow even though I know this, I always feel that surely this time I've done too much. He won't forgive. Yet, 1 John 1:9 is a promise: "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. . . ." We can never sin too much for God to forgive. That's an amazing concept.

My Weekend

I just returned yesterday night from a quick trip to Minnesota to attend my friend from college Christine's wedding. It was a beautiful, very non-traditional, but Christ-honoring wedding. I'll have some pictures soon. Then I got to spend the night with my other friend from college Kerry. She and Christine were roommates (up until Saturday!), so I took Christine's spot for Saturday night. We talked till nearly 3:00am!

My car did really well on the trip. It gets amazing gas mileage and can just go forever on one tank. I drove the whole 13 hours there on Friday and the 13 hours back on Sunday, even though I took Ruth Peal from church along with me. (She wanted to visit her family, and Dad and Mom didn't want me to drive alone.) I suppose she could have driven, but I didn't want to share my new car! So, I was pretty tired when I got home!
