68

Sixty-eight. Random number any other day...but yesterday that was our morning worship attendance. Double what we average. As a pastor, I'll admit that although I'm not supposed to worry about numbers, I do. To see 68 people there was great. Our kids put on their Christmas musical during service, so I didn't preach. They did an amazing job! We weren't sure how it would work out, especially since a few in particular were overly sugar-loaded. They all remembered lines and songs.

Also on Saturday our nursery area was painted a bright blue and white. It looks 100 percent better.

Yesterday after service a couple from our church and their 10-year-old daughter took us out to see Charlotte's Web. It was a good movie! Within five minutes, Jamie said, "We have to buy this!" She was impressed with how good they made Charlotte look. It's hard to make a spider look beautiful, you know. After the movie we went to Uno's Chicago Grill. Awesome restaurant! Equivalent to an Outback or Texas Roadhouse.

Now we're looking forward to the last week before seeing family. The schedule looks like this:

24th PM Warsaw Wesleyan Christmas Eve Service
25th Christmas at Janofski's
26th Christmas with Hilty's/time with Josh's dad
27th Time at Hilty's
28th Janofski's
29th Going home

We'd like to make a Marion stop in there sometime. So if anyone has an open day and wants to get together, respond to this post and we'll try to rearrange the schedule. We may try and stay thru Friday and leave Saturday, it all depends.

Merry Christmas!
