Mission Night and More

I wanted to make sure to blog today so I couldn't be accused of going a week without writing anything. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is Mission Night during WOW at Northwoods. The main attraction (sounds of clapping, cheering, etc) is Pastor Scott talking about his recent trip to Africa. If you were at ROC a week ago and heard him you know how exciting and interesting this story is. If you weren't there, you definitely don't want to miss it Wednesday.

There will also be a short video about the Guatemala Mission trip earlier this year (since we never had the opportunity to share it with the congregation). I hope as many of my fellow team members as possible are there (don't worry, we don't get to talk). I know Lori is Kiev and others are out of town. It should be an exciting night.

OK, on to other miscellaneous topics:

- Does anyone other than me and Lucy think the audio has been too loud at church the past couple of Sundays? I had mentioned it to one of the associate pastors a week ago and he did manage to get it adjusted, but I think it was still too loud. In fact, we couldn't make it through the worship and had to leave, missing the Father's Day message.

-Now, I don't usually pray for rain (it interferes with my golfing schedule), but we finished preparing and seeding our backyard today and it will need lots of water for the next few weeks. I'd just as soon it get that from rain than from me watering.

- Using a shovel and wheelbarrow to spread 10 cubit yards of topsoil is hard work and not a lot of fun.

- I did manage to get to play golf yesterday (in between days of working on the yard).

- My son didn't call me for Father's Day. Actually, he did call me on Saturday, but told me it wasn't a Father's Day call because he had forgotten to call Lucy on mother's day and didn't want to make her feel bad. :)

- If the New Orleans Mission Lab wasn't cancelled, we'd be leaving this weekend.

I guess that's about it. See how boring of a life I live?
