That's My Girl!!

Dan was gone this evening, so the kids and I were hanging out. We were getting pajamas on, myself included and we realized Elise was not upstairs. The boys came down to see where she was and yelled for me to come down. I found Elise standing on the table with both of the boys' cups in hand. She had a big smile on her face. Oh, Elise! Gotta love her outfit too...we hadn't gotten past her warm underclothes yet.

LIGHTHOUSE 2011!!

Sunday night was Lighthouse 2011! The youth ministry (24/7) had a great night at Gurnee Mills Mall this past weekend. It's a fun night of music, food, give-aways, and testimonies where students can invite their friends to come and hear about the love of Jesus. This year, we had Propaganda and Odd Thomas, along with DJ Promote and the band Chicago Winter. Propaganda does hip-hop and also poetry. Here is a link to his G.O.S.P.E.L. in 6 words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIhGxEdez98&noredirect=1 . It was a fun night and a lot of my friends also came with their kids. We didn't stay very long , as the kids were very tired and still getting adjusted to the time change. It was a powerful evening though and hopefully many lives were impacted.
