Proud Parents...

On Sunday the girls played for church. My parents were here for the week and they never get to hear the girls play so we had them play especially for them. The girls did a superb job. Lauren played "Come Thou Almighty King" for the offeratory and Ashley played and sang "Oh How I Love Jesus" for the special, this was her first time to sing and play at the same time. You have to listen carefully to hear her singing because the mike did not pick her up very good. We were very proud of them. They are doing so good with Mrs. Rita as their teacher. We thank her so much for all her work with them. Below are the videos I took of them playing.

It's Official...

I am now an Anderson County Library Employee. Several months ago I applied for a part-time job at our Library here in Iva. I did not get the job then and that was okay. Well, a few weeks ago the lady they hired the first time quit to move to Ohio, so I decided to try again. This time I got an interview, which scared me to death. It was my first formal interview. Then later that week I was offered the job. I had told the Lord it was in his hands from the beginning. Well, it was meant to be this time because today I started my first day on the job. It was a lot of fun, but talk about brain over load. I think I am really going to enjoy the job. It is a nice relaxed atmosphere and it is only 15 hours a week, 3-4 hours a day. I will be working Mon.- Wed. and Fri. I will have Thurs. and Sat. off. This week I am working 20 hrs. but I am also training. Please pray for me that I will catch on fast.

4th of July...

For the 4th of July our church does a pig roast every year. It is a big event, lots of work and planning, but lots of fun. Every other year we try to have music to go along with it, by having someone come to sing. This year Brent Vernon came to join us. He did a great job. He sang for about an hour and along with that he had "Sam" entertain us. Sam even sang a song about Body, Mind, and Soul. Everyone had a great time and the food was wonderful. We had the pork, hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, chips, watermelon, canteloupe, and lots of yummy desserts. Below are a few pics I was able to get of Brent, Sam, and the kids that were there.
