I found that out the other day. My computer lets out this funny little noise, and sends me a popup. I don't know what "sticky keys" are, but it sounds delicious.
Reflections since June 1:
Going to have a baby girl. Daddy's little girl. Will have to pay for a wedding one day (hopefully). Will have to buy prom dresses and such. Will be subjected to soccer?!? Never. Just kidding. Will have to buy a shotgun. Not kidding. Any boys out there think I'm joking, just come on by.
She'll be my angel. I hope she looks just like her mommy, 'cause if she looks like me, that'd be one funny looking girl, what with the balding and all.
Friday, Nerdawg got a crew together and we cleaned out the Billie. Way overdue! We took all the seats out. Then we cleaned all the windows inside. Then we picked up as much trash as we could. Then Chuck brought his leaf blower up and we blew all the dirt and stuff we couldn't pick up out the back. Then Nerdawg mopped it. Then we took the hose and washed it out. Then I drove it really fast so the water would go out. Then we washed the outside top to bottom. Props to Nerdawg, Justin and Jenn Eaton, and Melissa for coming to do this!
Student Sunday! Where do I begin? EVERYONE was there on time (save 2 brothers who shall remain nameless...cough...wesleybradleybarnette...or maybe not). I walked around to all the classes and peeked in. Everyone's classes went incredibly well! All the adults were raving about the students preparation and guiding of the lessons! And if that was the only thing awesome about the day, that would be enough.
But wait, there's more!
Worship service kicked off with Dallas playing the prelude. As soon as her accompaniment track started, I knew it would be a monumental day in the history of worship at Mt. Carmel. She nailed it on her viola or violin or whatever it is she plays! Walley had the invocation, and then the Youth Choir rocked us with the call to worship. After a brief mixup on my part, we had Graduate Recognition. 8 of the 13 graduates were there. I was pleased to present them with their copies of The Message. Mike B was reading his almost the whole service.
After that, the youth band led basket auction, but I checked in from time to time and Lance was on fire in his sermon!
I was worried after such an incredible service, we wouldn't have a good attendance at the auction, but was I ever wrong!
We had just the right amount of food for the snack luncheon, and we had 25 baskets to auction off! The highest one (which included a week in Florida at one of our ladies' place) went for $400! A record for Basket Auction!
Overall, we raised over $2100 on the baskets, which translated to $60 per kid! The guys and girls did a great job cleaning up and all.
Several students are paid for for Fuge now. Several still owe some. If they worked all three fundraisers, they only owe like $13 for Fuge. At $325 for camp, only having to pay $63 is pretty awesome if you ask me.
Our church has always supported our youth, and this year has been no exception. It's a blessing to be a part of a family that values its young people!
Now it's off to Centri-Kid for the week. I love Georgetown. They treat the adults like kings! And the kids have a great time! I'll try and post some updates this week at camp. I'm taking the church's laptop to try and keep current.
Have a great week!
