Mostly because I have allergies that are blocking any formed thoughts from making it past the mass of my brain to my fingers. Which means I'm in trouble. <br /><br />I worked on all the pieces this afternoon then slept for a while. I might have a good hour of work before I'll need to sleep again. Bleh. <br /><br />I'm actually preaching on soil conservation tomorrow! I "auctioned" off a sermon for our youth fundraiser and this is the topic the person who won chose. I was greatly relieved that he gave me a whole packed of information from the National Association of Conservation Districts (www.nacdnet.org) which includes worship materials! <br /><br />There is also reference in the packet to a favorite book of mine "Deeply Woven Roots" by Gary Gunderson about congregational care, and I'm looking forward to putting the pieces together... if I can just get there before I have to be at the church in 7.5 hours.Katie Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01143363139786424632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-6887486431076982662009-04-19T01:22:00.000-04:002009-04-19T01:22:00.000-04:00Goodnight all.

Without them, the athletes would become dizzy and fall. <br /><br />I plan to have the children do some spinning to get a little dizzy then have my pianist who used to teach dance show how to do a dancer turn, then talk about how on Easter, God gave us a focal point – the knowledge that we are loved and forgiven by God. <br />No matter where we go or what we do, if we keep reminding ourselves of that fact, we will keep our balance. <br />That balance is the peace that Jesus promised.Kim in KCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965504796391007511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-82173473656266789652009-04-18T22:15:00.000-04:002009-04-18T22:15:00.000-04:00almost. . .there. . .almost. . .there. . .Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878659579667895049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-52758861006692112602009-04-18T22:11:00.000-04:002009-04-18T22:11:00.000-04:00Does anybody have a Children's sermon/
