7 Year Old To Do List

I am a to do list kind of guy.  If its not on my list I usually overlook it, but once I write it down…I’m on my way to productivity.

I’ve always wondered what a to do list would be for a kid. The other night Hannah and I were tossing a ball back and forth in the house and it happened to roll under the couch.  When I went to retrieve the ball I found a to do list.  Not just any to do list, but the list of a 7 year old girl.  It was detailed in every way and it confirmed what I believe a 7 year old does.

Hannahs ToDo

Here’s what Hannah planned to do for the day:

  • Get dressed
  • Eat Breackfust
  • Play
  • Eat lunch
  • Play
  • Mimi and Papa
  • Color
  • Eat dinner
  • (I’m not sure what the next one is)
  • Movie
  • Bible
  • Bed

It looks like a good list to me.  It’s the perfect life for a 7 year old girl.

Fellowship Hall Project

This weekend, our fellowship hall is cleaned and ready to go.  We only have a few minor things to finish. This project has taken us since the end of June and it is finished just in time for our Fall Fest. Many thanks to everyone who has helped with the fellowship hall project.

Check out the newly remodeled kitchen and fellowship hall tomorrow. We will be having a special time of prayer and dedication next Sunday, November 3rd.

Also don’t forget tomorrow is Youth Sunday. They will be leading the entire service. You don’t want to miss it.

How To Raise a Family

Hannah has been working on a book about how to raise a family.  I must say, at 7, at least she gets the things in the right order.  She asked me how to get it in book form.  I told her we would have to work on thatSmile 

Don’t be misled by the title “How to Raze a Family”, it’s supposed to be “raise”.

We Remember

1244

12 years ago today was a day that we shall never forget.  Never in my lifetime had I seen such horrific events take place.  My heart was heavy for a nation that had lost so much in one day. As a nation, we felt violated. Our security was weakened and we realized that we were vulnerable to the worst of humanity’s sins.

Our hearts were heavy for months after those events. We clung to God in those days. We sought refuge in Him. And when no words could explain, we saw the goodness that came from people who laid down their lives for others. We saw the sacrifice of our firefighters and first respondents.  They are no less heroes today.

Our soldiers entered into a war on terror after 9/11. They have fought that war for years. The bravery of our armed forces is not matched anywhere in the world and we should be thankful that we have a nation, that although we are vulnerable, we remain strong.  The commitment of our men and women in uniform gives me pride in this great nation.

My heart was heavy on 9/11, 12 years ago and my heart is still heavy today.  For a nation that turned to God in crisis, we have turned away again.  We no longer seek His blessing on our land.  We want continued prosperity,  yet we do not want the hand of God. So on this 9/11 anniversary, I intercede for the greatest nation in the world. I stand in the gap for our leaders and ask God to give them wisdom and humility. I call on God to forgive America of her sins and believe Him to bring revival to this great land.

There is yet hope for America. There is a generation of people calling out to Him.  There are a people who are hungry for God to move in this nation.  I’m still clinging to God and so should we all!

God bless America!
