I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Carving Pumpkins! (10~27)

For Family Night we carved our pumpkins! We started with the small ones because we knew that the 94 lb. pumpkin would take some time. And it's a good thing we did because the little ones took use forever! We had so much fun carving the three small pumpkins! Anthony could hardly wait to start on the big one! But we had to save it for the next night because by the time we got these three carved, it was almost 10 o'clock!
