Fighting Germs, Enjoying Ice Cream & Friends...

(Emmaus Road Christmas Party at our house in 2007)
Tuesday evening we were blessed to have spontaneous company... reunion with friends, Kim & Andrew Arthur, who are currently studying and serving in the city of New Orleans. We were blessed by hosting them as house guests for about 8 months while we were full time faculty atNOBTS and lived on campus. It was so great to catch up, as well as knock the dust off of one of our favorite board games, "Ticket to Ride". They are dynamic couple with a passion for the Glorious Renown of our Sovereign Lord. Looking forward to seeing what God does in and through their lives...

Wednesday after school I took the kids to get ice cream at Marble Slab (having been blessed by a generous gift card that has been sitting in my wallet). Fulfilling the role of "sermonator" has fatigued my poor hubby. Despite the joy, the weight and honor of preaching it takes a physical toil. So, in the words of friend, Judi, I "made a sacrifice" by making a trip for the good stuff in order to provide a quiet house... ha ha ha...
At least the flavor pickings were a little more appetizing than times before. Let's see... James enjoyed chocolate with Kit-Kat, Angela had chocolate with white chocolate chips, Jana had chocolate with marshmallows and Victoria devoured strawberry with gummy bears... oh, and I indulged in white chocolate with Nestle Crunch... yum.
