Rev. Bob Baglin preached an AWESOME message about God's blessings upon his life and

how GOD will help you build a church and provide for your needs.

Bro. Baglin brought his first pulpit from the Burbank church!!

It was AWESOME - THANK YOU BRO. BAGLIN

We love you and your family!

THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED!

A BANJO!!

Can you believe it? Guess I'll be playing you a tune pretty soon!!

I LOVE IT!

BIBLE OR CELL PHONE?

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry

about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

And . . . no dropped calls!

I LOVE MY SCRAPBOOKS . . .

I finally had a chance to sit down and take my time going through

these scrapbooks!! What fun~you guys did a great job!

And put it together so quickly!

How time has flown by!

These are AWESOME!

I will always cherish these books.

What a wonderful gift - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You ALL did a beautiful job on the pages.

OK, Here's the Last Few Hints . . .

Can you guess what Pastor gave to me for my birthday??

These are the final hints - if you look on earlier posts, there are more hints.

Happy Guessing - someone should get it now, these are easy ones! : )

the GREAT services we had yesterday.)

Snake on the Street (Life on the Bench, Part 1)

Life on the Bench, Part 1

We have seen plenty of snakes this year - too many!!

(I think this is a gopher snake.)

While driving home from church Tuesday night, we came

around the corner near the peach orchard and slowed so we could hopefully

see a bear.

We had the car headlights on high as we searched the bushes

along the road. Before we could even react, out of the dark, running

as hard as he could, came a bear - straight for us! He ran smack dab into the Prius!

He hit Pastor David's door with a great thump!

Scared us all - including the bear.

That was a little too close for comfort!

(The bear was ok, and so was the Prius.)
