a bbq, a miracle, and pie

Just before school started our congregation at church had a big BBQ & family party.

Chloe was home for the weekend & we all went together.

Nice.

After the BBQ there were loads of activities planned--

but a BIG RAIN STORM started up!

The committee over activities scrambled to change plans & set up Karaoke. 

From the microphone- the leader of the activity asked me to come up & start the music-

UM- what? Me? You talking to me?

 NO WAY JoSE

He was insistent- absolutely insistent.

then

a

miracle

happened.

The power went out.

Again- it was confirmed to me-

 that God loves me.

He completely & fully loves me.

The moved on to the pie eating contest instead.

Here are the 12-18 year olds competing. 

It was close

but Chloe won with Trent coming in a very close 2nd place.

My Modem Is Broken!

Yes, last night after a huge storm my Internet light turned red. I tried everything I could think of to bring it back to life with no success. This morning I called Quest who basically said- it's dead- and they are sending out a new one. I guess it was a pretty old model, so it had a good life. First, they send a label to send the old one in then they will send a new one. I am this afternoon at Karen's using her computer. So glad for good friends! There won't be any pictures for a couple of days but I am still going to keep up with my new obsession- this blog!
Today I had a great morning & I am getting so much done. I sent 3 pieces of "good mail" & feel energized by all the rain. I guess those warm feelings are from my Seattle upbringing.? Have I mentioned how much I love a rainy day, especially after a long hot summer?

* Are you having a good day?
* Do you love rain?
*Do you send good mail?
