So...I have some "shocking" news for everyone.
AMBERLYNN BROKE HER LEG...AGAIN!
She was running in gym class and a kid pushed into her. She fell and fractured her tibia. (Now she's singing "The Bone Dance" song from "Hannah Montana")
Just letting you all know that she's off to a good start!

Fort Hand Festival
Okay, so...every year, Apollo has this 3-day festival at the park down the street. The church makes chicken wings and funnel cakes. It's set up like a little fair with food, games, rides, booths...you name it. It was a lot of fun. I will probably never eat another chicken wing or funnel cake again, but it was fun!
Oh geez...I had to put it up, though.Amber, me, Laura, Aislinn & Emily
Manning the fryer...
Dad, me, Susan
Funnel cakes...sometimes we couldn't make em fast enough!
Cheryl and Denise
Having a good ol' time! They played all different kinds of music (50's-80's, dance party songs...) We were all dancing!
Susan, Dot, Deb & Denise
Okay so this is what the park looked like after the fireworks on Saturday night. It was insane!9.18.2008
...
The other day, 7 boys (ages 9-13) vandalized a Head Start program. They completely destroyed everything. They poured paint all over the toys and supplies.
Seven boys that aren't even teenagers?
What is wrong with this world?

Dad's Installation Service
Dad was officially installed as pastor of CCPR on September 13th. Here's a look at the service...
FCC came down and lead worship. Pastor Brian preached the message and installed him as pastor.
Time of fellowship.
Praying over us.
Grandma, Dad, Mom, Faye, and Papa.
Okay, so this was at the service (well, afterward). Amber had to bring the baby home for school. Dad was showing her what he'd do if she got pregnant. She looks scared, right? Lol!9.14.2008

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
The age old question:
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
How many people have spent hours counting the licks to the center of the tootsie pop? How many have gotten tired of counting and given up? How many have lost count and had to start over...another day?
Life is like a tootsie pop. (*insert mocking laughter here*)
But seriously, it is. We're handed this candy and told how good it is. We're told how the center is the best part. Instead of eating it slowly, enjoying every part of the candy, we're in a rush to get to the best part. We end up biting the candy and before you know it, it's gone.
Now life...life is the same way. We're given life and it's supposed to be great. Good job, love, happiness, etc. Too many people think it's all supposed to be the "chocolately center of the tootsie pop"...ya know, the best. We have to go through tough times (the hard candy) before we can get our "soft center". It may seem like you'll never get passed the hard times but keep going. Do you want to be one of the people who have given up? Lost count? Said "maybe another day..."?
Maybe all of this is babbling. It might only make sense to me, but I'm writing this. Maybe it's written for me. Maybe it's wrtten for you. Everyone has a "tootsie pop life"...how will you get to the center?
