Here is what I've been up to!!!!


Welcome to Outrigger Island -


Kicked back by the Hawaiian Island


Our Volcano


You all will have to forgive me this week - 'cause I'm sure I'm gonna be a lil' off schedule on my posting. This is VBS week at our church - our theme - OUTRIGGER ISLAND - Living God's Unshakable Truths. As you can tell we have been BUSY BUSY getting ready but ya know, we were off to such a great start when a very gracious church called from another town and said, "We've got all this great stuff - please come get it, you are welcome to it." Well I rented a U-Haul and Shaun and I went and got it. What a blessing - such cute decorations and they were so giving. Thank you Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Well, we brought them back to our home church put our own lil' spin on a few things and this is our stage. An erupting volcano, a beautiful waterfall (kindly donated), a hut, and the list goes on - the kids absolutely loved it last night. We had 103 children Monday night and we hope for many more. My husband, Shaun, had the 10-12 year olds and he had 32 in his class - that is almost unheard of for that age group - so YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

You all please keep us in prayer and blessings to you all!!!

  2. Cathy,
    Your talents never end!! I can't even imagine how long and hard you've worked on all your beautiful props. Great job! I'm sure the kids are a blast.
    I will be praying for you and your husband this week - wow, that's a lot of kids!
    The Lord will reward your labors!
    God bless!

  6. Instead of VBS this year, we're having a Kids Crusade and it's been so much fun. Tonight is the last night. I love all your decor! Sounds like you all had a blast!

  8. I will be right over for a nice cool tropical drink! That looks so great! I thought you might of taken a quick trip to an island. I guess you might want to do that after this adventure. I am sure you had fun though.
