1. Our car is fixed and running well after going in the shop this week. I prayed for God to help get it repaired well and as inexpensive as possible.  That prayer was answered. So I thank the Lord for this good gift. I also have a really good neighbor that let us borrow a car so we did not have to rent one. Thanks Adam. He is a teenager and he gave up his wheels for a time.

2. This picture got more comments. Our library had a petting zoo come in this week. The handler put this snake on my shoulders. It was no big deal, but it got a lot of attention. Trust me, I am not brave.

3. I got a new watering wand this week.  It is very hot and dry here.  I am getting very old, I like watering and caring for the garden.  It is one of my favorite things.




4. I finished reading the book, "The Purple Cow." It is a marketing book and that is not my favorite subject.  Someone told me the book was good.  And it was good for what it is.  I did get one thing out of the book on the very last page.  It was just something simple.  He asked you to think of 10 ways to improve your product.  I think that is always good.  To think of ways to make whatever you are doing, sermons, programs, events, better.

5. Wednesday night we took communion together.  I love doing that.  I mentioned the 7 sayings from Jesus from the cross.  I like remembering those at communion time.  Do you know what the 7 seven sayings of Jesus are from the cross?  Name a couple in the comment section.

6.  Well that was my week.  What was a favorite thing from your week?

Delight In The Lord Song Of The Week- Praise Adonai.

-I was reading I Chronicles 17 today and David told God, "There is none like you."

-Who is like you God?

-The lion and the lamb. The lion who brings victory as a lamb.

-Praise Adonai. Praise the Lord.

1. I enjoyed walking in the Cutlerville Days Parade Saturday.  My daughter's school had a float.  I like handing out candy.  I really like a free t-shirt for walking in a parade.

2. Happy birthday/semi retirement to Charlene Gabbert.  It was a nice party your friends and family gave to you.

3. It was really nice having Ray and Deborah Miller with us Wednesday night.  Our meal hit the spot.  And it was great hearing what God is doing in the Philippines.

4. We got to release our butterflies this past week.  That has become an annual tradition for us.  Watching and feeding caterpillars is fun to do.  And holding a Monarch butterfly is something special my family does each year.

5.  My daughter had her first tennis camp this past week.  I am very proud she is so well rounded.  And she is in great shape.  She is an inspiration for me to get up and get moving.

6.  I am not much of a candy person, but my wife recently introduced a candy to me, and I am forever grateful.  Milk Duds are great.  I am hooked for life.  Plus, they are the most apologetic of the boxed candies.

7. What was one of your favorite things from this past week?

Jonah/Nemo and The Whale

Jonah wishes he could have spoken whale.

We are starting a series on Jonah this Sunday. Here is a good article on Nineveh, the city Jonah was called to preach against. It is a concise article that will give us a good start.
