LFA had 3 awesome services today. Record breaking attendance, outstanding music,drama and preaching, plus happy kids dashing for 30,000 pieces of candy, but the best thing was hearts and lives were changed for eternity. What a great place to be! What a great God we serve and love!

Linda Wants to Know If You Have Ever Had One of THESE Kinds of Days

I just got home from Walmart. As I was putting the LAST can onto the shelf, the roll out pantry drawer broke! I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt like it happened so quickly, but it was as if I was in slow motion. Too bad no one was here with me to have captured the look on my face when it fell! I had also just had an "experience" at Walmart. The checker was almost through checking my groceries, I reached into my handbag for my billfold. It wasn't there! I almost panicked! The clerk was very kind and allowed me to RUN to the car to see if it had fallen out inside the car. PTL! It had! It was safely locked in my car on the driver's seat! What an afternoon!

Avery Comes to Visit

Avery is almost 2. Just look at her go! She thinks she can do anything Asha does, from hoola hoop, jump rope, frisbee, "fishing," and even "school work!" What a great morning! I love having the PK's over whenever they can come see "Mrs. Linda!"

Lipizzaner Stallions Show

As part of Linda's birthday celebration, we went to the Great Plains Coliseum Thursday evening to watch the "World Famous" Lipizzaner Stallions in action. It was a great show! Big crowd and plenty of crowd pleasing stunts performed by the horses.

Tonight the g-cuisine group was treated to a cake decorating lesson by Janie Hull and Anne-Marie Completo. These video clips give you a little "taste" of the fun we had!
