Praise the Lord for a relaxing and enjoyable weekend! Aaron and I went out to see Fireproof on Friday evening and were delighted to see a packed theater. It was an excellent movie and greatly blessed and strengthened our marriage. I would definitely recommend getting out there and supporting this film. It was refreshing to see the miracle God can perform in any marriage no matter the state. Full of fun humor and tear jerking scenes.
Saturday we spent the day completing the re-organization of Aaron’s home office. We have been working on simplifying it for the last few weeks and I believe our job is complete! Praise the Lord for a clean office once again!
This weekend we look forward to heading north to Seattle and attending Mission Fest conference. We will be helping to man the Lightsys Ministries booth (the technology mission group we are joining), and maybe attend a session or two.

Since I’m a perpetually curious person, I figured I’d ask. What does your family usually eat on Sundays? I don’t think I remember seeing any menus that included Sunday meals. Do you eat with family or friends? Go out? We always have a big Sunday dinner and eat with the whole family, and I look forward to it all week. I was just wondering what other folks did.
That’s a good question. I never really plan Sundays because I usually either serve leftovers or we most often do not get to one of our scheduled meals with last minute invites or changes, so I will often make that meal on Sunday. We do semi-frequently go out as a family for hamburgers or something of that sort and a family walk, just enjoying our day of rest. Our church also has a shared meal after our service and we participate in that occasionally as well.
Wow, Linds, this is great! Thanks for the good ideas, I’m definitely going to put them into practice next time I do the menu plan for the family. Love you!
Your sis,
