He's a Waiter Turkey

It's the third week of Advent - A Time of Hope!
Lots to think about at H2O Devos!

Do you see what I see?

FOUR FULL BOXES of food for our local Task Force!
Hooray, Flagstone Choir Families!

After the smoke cleared at our Choir Concert,
I found this note on the board from a former student!
What a fun surprise!

Check out my Reindeer Cookie! Yum!
Thanks, Carter Family!

Me: Tell me about your turkey.
Kid: He's a waiter turkey.
Me: And what's a waiter turkey?
Kid: It's a turkey with a mustache. He serves people food. See his food plate? You can't eat something that gives you food, so we don't eat waiter turkeys.

My church pal, Deb, came on down to the City and County Building on Tuesday to hear my last night of bell playing. Yeah! I just love the colors of this building!

Deb's dogs enjoyed the bells, too.

Sticking with the dog theme, Deb actually gave me this dog at our Women's Retreat - it is motion-activated, and rolls over and laughs one of those I-can't-possibly-help-but-laugh-out-loud-and-forget-my-worries kind of laughs.

Check out the Sunday School Kids of Bethany! FEAR NOT!

The sparkly munchkins I hung out with
before the program began. SMILES!

Rules of the House for Bell Playing. Got it. Technically, Rule #2 was the only one I might not have completely followed to the letter. And, for the record, I never brought my gun-carrying, carcinogen-smoking dog with me, either. No exceptions.

Last and absolutely not least, my new Lutheran Study Bible! Check out my name imprinted on the front! This is the Bible I won from Augsburg Fortress for my submission on how the Scriptures inspire me. I told them about my "Lift Every Voice and Sing" song, and won this incredible resource!
