Hope everyone had a happy Father's Day!

Well, we had another rummage sale this past weekend. This one was nowhere near as successful as previous rummage sales. We had rain on Friday, among other factors. BUT- the way I look at it, we still made a little money, and I had more fun than if we had done a soup supper! Woohoo! Still worth it to me! But I may be taking a little break from the rummaging for now. We stored "le rummage" upstairs, and if any other department wants to take a shot at it, I'd be MORE than happy to assist you, but I doubt Student Ministries will be doing another one very soon.... unless the STUDENTs want to plan it, and let me "help." :)

Anyway, aside from the rain, the weather was so nice for rummaging! It wasn't too hot, under the overhang, at least. And not too windy, which was nice. My kiddos had a good time, as they always do. They rescued some toys from the rummage, and found lots of rolly pollies. They only lost 2 rolly pollies in the piano we had for sale, so that's not bad, right? :-P

Bruce T. won Father of the Year at church. So cute... his daughter cried! It was very sweet.

Veronica is having her baby today! Actually... probably about right now! I'm so excited to see the new little one!

And finally, I'm sooo ready for Pastor Mark & Val to be back home! It's just weird when they're gone... I want them back! Plus, we miss them!

That's all for now! Have a great week everyone!

I answered it! One of the most pondered questions by children & adults everwhere!!!

For the past week or so, Josiah has been asking me occasionally who created God. Here's how the conversation usually goes.

"Mommy, who made God?"

"No one. He just always was."

"But, Mommy, who MADE Him?"

"No one! No one had to make Him. He has always been around. We just can't understand how someone could always be, and that's ok."

"Uugghhhh!!!" Sheer frustration. But what was I to do?

Tonight, he brought it up again. But this time, I had a sudden inspired moment! Here's how tonight's conversation went.

"Mommy, who made God?"

"He has just always been. No one made Him."

"UGH! Mommy!! WHO MADE HIM?!?" (Louder this time, because I think Josiah thinks I'm partially deaf at times. Mostly when I don't give him the answer he wants.)

"Oh, sorry. God. God made God."

"Oh. Ok."

Ahahahaha!! Eliana and I just looked at each other and giggled. Of COURSE the answer is God! Why didn't I realize that sooner?
