Outrigger (Fantasy) Island


The morning church service at FBC Humboldt featured elements from this week's Vacation Bible School. The children sat close to the front wearing their "Outrigger Island" shirts and they sang three of the songs (motions and all) that we had learned at Bible school. It was not a typical Sunday morning worship time, but then again, what is?

Two of the children made public the decisions they made for Christ on Wednesday and there are still five more that we have for followup. Hopefully, they will get "plugged in" to a church (ours or another) in the weeks ahead.

As we "pretended" to be in Hawaii with our palm tree decorations and grass skirts, our youth minister, Russ, actually IS. He and Susan were married yesterday in Allen, Texas and they are spending their honeymoon IN Hawaii.

Cheryl and I have been married for almost 28 years. We went to Gatlinburg on our honeymoon and we still have NOT been to Hawaii.

Gotta go. I'm headed over to Russ' house now with several cans of spray paint and a lot of bitterness.
