We had a snowstorm over the weekend--not quite what was expected but enough that the Gideons cancelled their monthly meeting. They will be back on Saturday to hold their membership drive, so we're praying for good weekend weather.
Tim got to get his snowblower out and clear the streets in front of the Shepherd's Staff buildings and the Rexford Community Church. He enjoys serving the community in that way.
This weekend we'll be serving Teens for Christ (TFC). In previous years they met at Shepherd's Staff almost every month, but the effectiveness of that mode of operation had begun to wear off. This school year they tried something different, trying to reach more kids and find a way to compete with sports and activities schedule. In February, they've chosen to hold their meeting at Shepherd's Staff again, and we're excited to be serving them. We'll fry around 100 hamburgers, make a ton of homemade milkshakes, make a bunch of fries, and generally enjoy them.
Saturday will be a busy day, since before we start to prepare for TFC we have to head to Colby and make almost 1000 pizzas with our 4-H club. Tyson and Jesalynn each sold around 25 pizzas; we were pretty proud of them! This was a first selling experience for them, and they only had about a week to sell. They worked pretty hard at it!
Well, it's time to head out into the day. The song in my heart right now is "This Is the Day" and the thoughts I'm sharing with God have to do with the Christian Workers Conference (less than a month away!) and a prayer for good friends for my children.
