This has been a busy week! Phew! As many of you may know, Dave's Dad has been hospitalized several times recently due to his battle with emphysema, which just recently advanced to the next stage. He was experiencing difficulty breathing this morning, so he called and asked me to take him down to the emergency room at Olive View. I am waiting here at home to see if they will admit him, otherwise we will go pick him up later. Pray for him!
Tuesday, we took a tour of the Grace To You facilities, where the radio, tape, and DVD ministries for our pastor's radio broadcast program are run. We got to see the machines that make all the CD's and DVD's, the warehouse where all the books, Bibles, commentaries, and more are kept, the shipping facilities that handle all the phone and internet orders, and the studio where our dear pastor John MacArthur records. We even got to see him go into the studio and record. It was a great opportunity. John MacArthur is known worldwide because of his many books he has written, and his radio program broadcasts all over the world. But that day, there was one person who didn't know who he was at all. That was my dear son, Vance. John came in to speak to our homeschool group about how we was going into the studio and what he was going to record, etc. etc. Vance pipes up out of the blue, "Who are YOU????" As many of us were just in awe to see John up close and personal, and enjoying the blessing of being able to coverse with him, my boy just wanted to know what all the hype was about. After all, you can't really make out his face if you are sitting in the sanctuary of our church. It holds 3,000 people for goodness sake. He has probably never seen him up close. It was just so hilarious. That's my child....I didn't know whether to laugh, duck under a table , or like Peter in the Bible, say "I never knew him"!
Thursday we had a sweet couple from our Juniors ministry at church, the Callaways, over for dinner. We had a lot of fun! The boys kept them entertained with talent shows, magic tricks, etc. They will either want tons of kids.....or NONE! They are a very sweet couple, and we enjoyed talking with them.
Friday we went to Rich and Karen's house for Good Friday dinner (YUM!), and then we were off to the communion service at church. We spent an hour + in traffic on the way home (YUCK)!
Saturday we took a family bike ride down the wonderful bike paseos they have in this wonderful little town of ours. And can you believe it, no accidents! Vance wore his full face helmet, and I am convinced that is the reason he doesn't fall. When he wears it, he doesn't fall. When he wears his regular helmet, he does. Of course he won't ever fall with that thing on. Then he couldn't KNOCK HIS TEETH OUT. Precious boy. We had a lot of fun together, and the weather was gorgeous.
Sunday was Resurrection Sunday, which we celebrated at church. I threw a little party for my Sunday school class I teach, and we had fun eating and just hanging out. For dinner, Dave's Mom Lorrie and Step-dad Dan came up for dinner, and we enjoyed a lovely meal of pot roast, mashed potatoes, salad, rolls, and green stuff. Yes, that's right. Green stuff. If you're curious what that is, just ask me. Otherwise I'll let your minds wander and see what you can come up with.
