What a message

One of my students took me out to eat tonight... When we left Salem it was snowing a little... By the time we got to Panera Bread in Canfield it was pouring snow!! As we got out to the car after a delicious meal this interesting little message was on the car beside mine. We both found it very funny....

The Shepherd's Passing

Please pray for the Satterfield family and the Indiana church in this time of severe loss...

Rev. Satterfield was a wise man who is being mourned by so many... I don't have time to write everything I want to... The funeral was a beautiful testament to a well lived life. A life lived to the fullest for his God, his family, and those of us privileged to call him friend...

Hillbilly Rodeo

The following pictures may seem distorted... due to the time of day that they were taken... lol

Team Farmall isn't sure if they are ready for all of this hillbilly fun....

Susie and Ashley trying to stay warm by the fire....

Emily and Kayla posing for the snap shot... they didn't like the other picture I took ;-)

Our youth focus group got together Friday night for some excellent food, fellowship, and tons of fun...

After a campfire meal, we had a devotional on fear... very timely since it was night time and we had no clue what was planned for the next few hours.

We were split into two teams and the White tails and the Farmalls.... I was on the Farmall team... We were the team that didn't have all the couples on it... The first event was to see which team could husk and shell the most corn... The Farmalls won by one corncob... lol... However, our victory was short lived when we lost the next two events. . . . . . Pumpkin relay and haybale race. The haybale race involved rolling a round bale while someone was on top of it, without letting them fall off... it was very interesting.

Next they took us on a hayride, and after driving aimlessly we stopped and had a tug of war... Which the Farmalls won (not sure how) going uphill and downhill... After that we had to have a group sing 3 verses of Old MacDonald... and the judges had to decide who was the best... Sandy, Susie and I sang for the Farmalls, and we won.. It had to have been the motions that went with our version of the song... lol

The last event was bullriding... and Mark and Zack won for the Farmalls by 75 hundredths of a second..... wow what a ride.... The Farmalls won, but we all had fun... Which was the point...
