Like nearly every Sunday, today was a wonderful day. It began the best way any day could, with an awesome service at FFC. Pastor Kris did an absolutely great job of creating the perfect atmosphere to feel the presence of God today. He had us all crying! Worship was awesome, too. James put together the perfect song set and really utilized the church's resources to manage the environment very well. Our cousin Alyssa joined us today. After church, we all grabbed a bite to eat at El Carreton, which is always so tasty! After eating, we went to Orschelan's to purchase a Christmas gift. Kimberly and Alyssa fell in love with some of the free puppies there. Then we headed over to Wal-Mart to do a little more shopping. If you didn't know it was Christmas, you'd sure figure it out at Wal-Mart! There is wrapping paper, ribbons, gift bags, decorations; everything Christmas every direction you turn! After shopping we headed back to the church for youth group. I spent most of the time there working on a project that I think is finally done. I'm very excited about it, but that's a whole other post ;o) Today was Captain Crunch night for the youth group meal, and Mmm it was good! One of the funnest things about volunteering for the youth is getting to spend time with lots of great people. Alyssa rode back to Muncie with us and we played one of out favorite games; Call and Click. -V- is fairly familiar with this game ;o) When you stop at a red light or a stop sign, someone calls out something goofy that everyone has to do, then someone clicks a picture really quick. Some of my favorite call-outs tonight were; pick your nose, look angry, stick out your tongue, and look like a chipmunk! Oh yeah, and it was blistering cold outside today!!!
