Hey guys!
We thought that you might like to see what we have been into this fall via some pictures. So here is 1' 35" of the Fall of 2007....

Cabinet space...
Nothing really to say, just thought some of you might like this picture of Kate in the cabinet. Can you imagine being this small. She just unloads that cabinet and climbs in on her own. I guess if we ever can't find her we could always look here.

$38.67
Over the last several weeks, our small group has been walking alongside a family that we have gotten to know through connections at school. From the initial mention of coming alongside a family and not knowing exactly where that would lead us, each person in our small group has been eager to help in whatever form that took. Over the last few weeks, we have had the chance to have a picnic with these new friends as well as help plug them into the life of our church. It has been a pleasure being a part of a small group that sees the need to look beyond the four walls of the church to the community that we all live in and see how God can bless others while using us as the tool.
Today, we had the chance to help them around their home. The long of the short of it was that the exterior of the home needed to be painted so that it didn’t begin to rot with the dampness that comes with Winter. Since this would likely be one of the last weekends of the year with warm, dry weather, we decided that this Sunday afternoon would be the time to do it. I have included some pics below to show the before and after.
The $38.67... We had prayed for some guidance about just how to undertake the things that we were getting into; just some wisdom and guidance to do the best we can, in this case choosing the right materials and having enough time and so on. I called a good friend that shares a heart for this kind of stuff and also works with painting and contractor-type stuff day-in, day-out. In five minutes, he (& He) provided materials and advice that were going to cost ~$200. In the end, it was $38.67 to make a profound impression on some new friends.
