Today was a good, long day of ministry. Our weather has been effected by the low spinning in the Midwest. It was cloudy most of the day, which made it hard to get up. Pam got up to go on her “coffee date.” Her friend from NC was back for a few days (Hi there, Niki!)

I got up and checked a few of my favorite blogs and then went over to the office to prepare worship for this Sunday. This afternoon, Pam and I went visiting a shut-in and then I came home to finish preparing for this evening. I was teaching the Middle School class tonight.

Last night I received a timely e-mail from Bluefish TV. They have some great video resources for the small church (the price is about $2 for a short video). I picked up a video and lesson plan (all for $3) titled, “Accidental Masterpiece.” We are still waiting for our laptop and video projector. So I took the video and made a nice little Powerpoint presentation lesson. I had to drag my home desktop computer and speakers over to the church. I think the students really enjoyed the lesson on creation. How many masterpieces (like Mona Lisa, Starry Night, The Eiffel Tower) are created by accident? How do we think the universe and earth and us were created by happenstance?

After the lesson I played a little football with the high school boys. We also got the bad news that one of our student families is moving to Charlotte, NC. We will miss them. Over all it was a great day, even with the disappointments.
