Good Morning from Capshaw, Alabama , which is located in the greater Huntsville area. We had one day at home after our 2-1/2 week trip to Alaska and then took off to come up here to visit Chip and help in their Vacation Bible School this week. Our 9-year-old grandson, Josh, is with us as he is our only elementary-age grandchild and therefore able to attend VBS.
We arrived on Saturday at 4:00 and that evening went to dinner with Chip at PF Chang ~~ a fabulous restaurant. On Sunday (Father's Day), we had a wonderful church service which began with Chip baptizing 8 new converts. We had never witnessed Chip performing a baptism so that was a huge blessing for his dad and me. We had a lovely Father's Day lunch and a nice relaxing afternoon. Capshaw didn't have church on Sunday night but we were invited over to the Smith home. When we were last here on what was Mother's Day weekend, a dear lady in the church passed away. Pastor Zach and Chip were there in the home with the family when Sandy passed. The Smiths have 2 teenagers and Chip has been a real help and encouragement to them during this month since their mother's passing. Anyway, we were invited over and went to watch some of the NBA game with George and his family. What a dear Godly man and 3 precious kids who miss their wife and mama. The little Smith guy is Josh's age. It was great that Josh could make a friend and know a friendly face on Monday morning at VBS. And that's exactly what happened~~~ Michael and Josh hooked up and enjoy the Monday VBS session.
After Bible School and then lunch at "Dip and Dog," which is a new deli and ice-cream shop very near Chip's house, the 3 of us returned to Chip's house. He had a noon to 7:00 p.m. outing with his teenagers. On his way back home on Monday evening, he brought pizza home for our dinner. We enjoyed some fellowship with him and then all went to bed.
Tuesday morning....... we came to the church an hour before VBS to start so that I could get online (first time since last Saturday morning!). I hope to have time today to upload some more of our Alaskan Trip pics. I have been posting them here as well as on my www.northtoalaskaandbackagain.com/ blog. I do hope to have time to work on those today if we can hang out here at Chip's church after VBS.
Gotta get ready for VBS. Richard is doing the audio/visuals for Chip's class of 5th and 6th graders and today I am serving their refreshments. FUN!!!!!!!!
Have a wonderfully blessed day!
