Ever gave some serious thought to what it would realy be like in the belly of a whale for three days.... Even though Jonah was running from the Lord He realizes his mistake...who is at fault ....and appeals to our merciful God who sees fit to give him another chance. The study this week was very interesting as we discussed mercy, grace, forgiveness, justice and obedience. Our kids continue to enjoy the competition of our team building relays and games....the crazier the better....the picture shows one we created using ping pong balls. Bonnie and I attended the annual Ice cream Social ....an event held to raise fund to maintain and preserve the Hotel Laskeside. Our best friends from Charlotte ... the Davisons ....were here with Mallory and their daughter Emma ....who they adopted from China. She was so excited about everything. It was so good to visit with them for the week! Each week we have a Wednesday night picnic... we usually have 300 plus attend. Chip Richter and his family ....Bonnie and I and 6 voluntters from ourt MGM program....host this event each week. It is a little bit of a task to get the food ready....but we have it down to a science. We also lead some family games ....and have a blast doing it. Our amazing kids have raised nearly 1000 dollars for our water project....and were recognized at Hoover before one of the programs. We also had some fun at the line dancing night...and attended the recognition evening held for the 15 college interns ... we were pleased to share it with Candace...the intern we mentored for the summer...and her parents.... and to top off the week were attended the Debbie Boone concert....and yes she sang You Light up my Life....but not before a wonderful array of other music....mostly dedicated in a tribute concert to her mother-in-law ....Rosemary Clooney.
