Found a New Church

My Mom and ex-mother-in-law were in town this week. We decided to go to church down the street, Church of Celebration. It was another church in a school and I wasn't looking forward to it. But, I was actually surprised. The music was great, the pastor was funny, interesting and he read from the Bible. The kids had fun in C-City (Sunday School), they were even talking about what they learned.

I check out the Statement of Faith and it seems pretty straight forward. From my past experience with hunting for a new church, that is not always the only guide. Hank Hanegraaff's Christian Research Institute has a great article about finding a good church. I will be using prayer and this kind of information before deciding where my kids and I will go to church.

Painted kid's rooms...with stripes!

This "weekend" project turned into three straight days and three evening after work. Ethan's was easier with only three stripes.



Samantha's room was a different story. I spent most of the first day measuring and taping the vertical stripes.


The kid's love their rooms and the time was well worth it.
