BEFORE & AFTER!!!!!

Elyse has been wanting her hair cut, badly. She wanted to wait until spring because her hair keeps her warmer. But, knot after knot, combing after combing, knot after undone knot, she finally gave up.

The before:

The middle:

The finale:

I guess Lacey & Grace's influence carried all the way to Illinois.

I need a hair cut badly too. Where are you, Terry?

Another cool thing happened this morning at church. The Pastor had a baby dedication today. After praying with the parents, he took the baby and took her around the sanctuary so we could touch her - to put a hand on our commitment to help raise this child for God. I thought it was so cool. The baby was smiling the whole time. Her mother stood on the stage and cried, while the Dad hugged her. Now if the baby had been screaming her head off, it wouldn't have been so cool, but she just ate up the crowd, as we ate her up.

We had communion around lunch tables in the fellowship hall. Each table prayed, served the person next to you and closed in prayer. We met two girls, sisters, from Chile, and three Trinity students. It was a neat time and so different for us people. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

We are invited to the Pastor's house this Saturday for a game night. That should be fun - kids are invited too. YEAH!

Enjoy the rest of the Lord's day!
