But we did have some GREAT Chili !! I was privileged to be a guest judge at the Chili Cook-off at Seashore Commmunity Church and I gotta tell you - I LOVED IT! Being the first to sample all the wonderfully flavored chilis was just my cup of --- well, chili! Thanks to everyone who made the chilis, and to all who came and made the night such fun.
Our visit to see so many friends was wonderful. Thanks for all the hugs and love and prayers and well wishes. There's just something special about being with you all that keeps drawing us back again and again! We really do have sand in our toes as even in the winter, Becki and I made a couple of trips to the beach. Didn't get in the water but loved picking up shells!
Update on Carl in the Philippines -
Greg Taylor, the missionary just called me moments ago. It was the middle of the night and he should have been asleep b u t he was sharing a room with Carl - who fell asleep right away - and the tremendous snoring noise coming from the room kept Greg from being able to sleep at all! Those who have been on a trip with Carl, please extend your condolences to Greg! Greg says "Hi!" to the friends at the shore and extends an open invitation to come back to the Philippines whenever you'd like. He said that this trip Carl was on was one of the most spiritual groups he has ever had. God really did some neat things. Praise the Lord!
SIMPLY THE STORY
If you haven't caught wind of me talking about this yet - you WILL! This has completely captured my attention and is rapidly spreading around our globe! Since going to the training for this style of Oral Bible Instruction - I have become an STS evangelist! I tell everybody, including Greg on his very long distance call awhile ago!
Every person and group I have shared this with - LOVES IT! STS brings the Bible alive like nothing else even can. Groups I taught this last week in Jersey and in Ohio were thrilled with what they learned from simply thinking through a Bible story. Many find that they never realized how much the Bible truly had to say and how easy it was to find it when you use this method.
If you want to know more and cannot wait for me to tell you - go to www.simplythestory.com
and read all about it. But -trust me, nothing is better than getting a group of people together to find out for yourself!!
Having fun telling THE Story...
