Our church uses that phone tree thing. But, we haven’t been awakened in the middle of the night. Whew! But, it may be coming.

I know that at 4 a.m. they were all thinking about you…hopefully praying too.

Blessings~

Oh. My. Stinkin. Word.

Do you ever wonder why these things always happen to you?

That is too funny. (And as a PK, I say you will never live this one down.)

And knowing your congregation just a little, I’d say you might need to watch your own phone at 4:00 AM the next few weeks. Things could get ugly.

At least your little note was a sweet and gracious one and not like the “little ole white haired lady” who pulled me aside tonight and let me know that I “really need to learn how to shave the back of my husband’s neck”!!!!!!! And proceeded to give me a list of things I needed to do! And I forgot, before she went to take her place on her pew, she let me know it was time for the pastor’s wife to get up off the floor! ( I was sitting on the floor beside a pew with my 8 month old baby with he toys listening to choir practice.)

Oh my, Lisa! That is so funny! What a blessing to have such a kind-hearted and understanding church family. I hope y’all get a ton of shoeboxes– we dropped ours off this past Friday.

Sooo funny—-we had “a happening” onour call one the same night with weather alert. Thankfully OH thankfully it hit our Emergency List and our son happened to be the only one elegible to get the call—–bad part it called him every 15 minutes for over an hour before it was turned off—-at 11:00,oh if it had called the entire church. I would be in South America still running.
We were not charged, makes me wonder if callone was having a problem?
I loved the note that “S” wrote.

I wondered when you used the word “dealio” if you were a Napoleaon Dynamite fan?

I love your sense of humor…comes in handy in ministry huh?
