Sunday Outing

Sorry for the infrequent posts, but I have been really busy at work and there really hasn't been anything exciting going on at 18 Matthews Lane lately. We've been trying to relax and get ready for the holidays coming up.

I did want to tell everybody how much we love our Sunday School class. They have become dear friends, and I know that those friendships are from the Lord above. It was only a few months ago that I was wishing to be in my home church where people knew my name. And guess what...being faithful in attendance and getting involved does the same thing. I've seen kids from children's choir in the grocery story and they recognize me. (Not that I'm famous or anything, but you get my drift). I am loving me some First Baptist Church Cabot!

So this past Sunday was SUPER busy. After church, we went to Calvin and Ginger Aldridge's house for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner. It was SO good! I can't wait to try her Brisket recipe. We had a good visit with everybody, then the girls piled up in one of the church vans and hit the town. It was so much fun (but not that much fun, Holly), and we're even thinking about taking the van across the river to Memphis. Ginger was the driver and she did a wonderful job. They dropped me off at home at 5, and then Brent and I headed right back up to church for a potluck supper with everybody in the music ministry. I'm not sure this was the best thing to do, but afterwards we had choir practice. I didn't eat that much, so I know some other people had trouble singing. It was a long practice, and I am praying that someone who is lost will hear the message and give their life to Christ.

Here are some pictures from Sunday afternoon...

Kristen and Jake eating her yummy cake she made.

Think I had food in my mouth and of course the cheeseball I'm married to always has to make a face.

A little better...
We are a fun bunch, let me tell you! L to R: Brittany Webb, Kristen Steelman, me, Katy Hill, Ginger, Kari Tate, and her mom Nancy Cardona
Pretty sure they were making fun of us getting in the van so ungracefully.

This afternoon, we're headed to McGehee and then Wells Bayou to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. I am so thrilled to see all of them, even if it will be for a few days.

Hello, I'm Jenn. I was just breezing through blogs and past yours. I know exactly how you feel about church. I am still looking for a new church. My family and I are moving to another county, not really far, but we kind of decided to wait on entering a new church until we moved and checked out the area. Luckily there is a church literally at the end of my street so I'm going to check that out.

Hope to hear from you later.
