Thankful- Nov 19th

Today I am thankful for Rootin' Tootin' Cowboys!

Yesterday was a special day at Church, Round Up Sunday! It is a day to "Round Up The Strays".

I am so thankful to be a part of a church that dedicates itself to reaching the lost and disciplining them. 

We had one soul saved in jr church with a couple others that came forward to speak with workers. I love to see how the Lord works not only in the hearts of the children but with the workers as they deal with the spiritual needs of the children.

Michael has been practicing for a few weeks to learn how to crack a whip and he did a great job as he incorporated the whip into his message. He was real pleased with the fact that he only hurt himself once while he was on stage. :) We'll turn him into a redneck one of these days. Michael's highlight of the day was strapping his gun on. {Still a little boy at heart!}

 

 Sheriff Grady Judd joined the adult service as a special guest. Josiah was so excited to meet the "REAL" sheriff! Sheriff Judd was so kind as he spoke with Josiah for a minute after we had our picture taken.

 (By the way, Polk County has THE BEST SHERIFF! He is a man who gets the job done.)

"The Lone Ranger" also made an appearance yesterday. Josiah kept asking where his horse was and finally decided that perhaps he rode his bike to church since he couldn't find a horse in the parking lot. That gave Michael and I a good chuckle!

Ezekiel 34:6  

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, 

and upon every high hill: 

yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, 

and none did search or seek after them.
