Made a batch of strawberry jam...yum, good for some homemade ice cream this summer. Met with Bill and Malinda today about Stephen Ministry, will be starting the ministry in the fall and I will be teaching. Hopefully, I will not have to travel to Muncie as often as most recently, but Steve is trained to teach the course, so he could fill in for me.

Stephen Ministry is a great ministry to offer care to people who are in crisis of any level. I have seen it be so effective, that are never enough care givers to fill the need. We shall see if this is true at LCBC.

Jon and Erica got home safely from Myrtle Beach after their vacation. While they were gone, their neighbor died. He was only 28, had Hodgkins and only know about month. However, got pneumonia and suddenly died of complications. Leaves a wife and 7 yr old daughter. Pray for them.

Makenzie love wearing her sunglasses and hats. Took awhile to enjoy the swimming, but Sydney seemed a natural and was jumping off the edge of the pool. But I know Jon and Erica are glad to be home and be back to "normal". She is interpreting for Beauty and the Beast at Mill Mountain Theatre and went to a performance tonight to get a feel for the musical.

Steve is mowing...better go and help!
