Celebration Sunday

This has been a good day! We had a wonderful celebration and worship today. We are trying to raise money to pay off all our debt and add on to our church building. The goal is $3 million and as of today at noon, we had $2.2 million of it raised. I feel sure that the rest will come in. God is really blesssing us at Sycamore View! Then we had a great home gorup meeting tonight. It is such a blessing to be able to worship and pray and share your burdens with brothers and sisters in Christ! I don't know how people who don't have that Chritian community live without it!

Tim was in an art workshop all weekend with Alex Powers. Alex has written a book so I guess that makes him an expert...I'm not too fond of his painting...it's a little loose for my taste, but it's right down Tim's alley. Two differnt ladies asked Tim to autograph his drip rags and give it to them because they think he is such an excellent artist...His head is growing bigger by the minute! Tim did get a painting accepted into the Tennessee Water Color Association Show this month though, so that is a really big honor.

Everyone at church this morning was asking about Laura's wedding. When I tell them that it is going to be a small family wedding in out back yard and that Laura is wearing her jeans, they are all like, "That is so Laura!" All the other mothers who are planning weddings or have gone through weddings recently wish they had it as easy as me. However, all those other mothers are not going to be gone for the three weeks before the wedding doing an intership in Philadelphia like this one is...so I am extrememly grateful for simple and all Laura's other "moms" who are willing to pitch in! There were already gift for her out in the foyer this morning. The shower is next Sunday. So we'll get to see them again next weekend. HOORAY!
