I couldn't get these pictures posted last night, not really sure why, but here are a couple of pictures that are "show-able" to the general public! :) This is Mike Cole, the executive presbyter of the New Covenant Presbytery in Texas who was our head spiritual advisor for the weekend and a wonderful presence on our staff team. I loved the fact that he was such a wonderful encourager, and was willing to be a complete goofball at the same time. Here he is with Sophie & I sporting a butterfly hair clip in his hair...I'm sure he'll love this picture being posted :)
So at one point on Saturday I came to sit down and found Mike in my chair, so I told him I would just go take his seat at the spiritual advisor table, but was told I couldn't sit there unless I was named Mike Cole. So we switched name tags for awhile---and I didn't look at the schedule to see what was coming next and Mike ended up having to participate in one of the more meaningful parts of the weekend with my name attached to him.....oh well, by that point in the weekend most people should have figured out that his name wasn't "Sarah Hanson" :)
Even Kernie had fun in Texas! He made a lot of new friends, spent a lot of time hanging out with our music team (Sophie is still trying to teach him not to go off with strangers without her permission but I think she has a little more teaching to do because they "borrowed" him overnight one night....but we were told he had a great time with them!) One morning Steve Retzloff even made him his own plate of food for breakfast....he loves being taken care of by all his Texas friends!
Hey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteHowdy from Houston! I think Kernie needs a Stetson and some Tony Lamas to round out his wardrobe. We already have pictures of him in a serape and sombrero, shaking his marimba!
Hey Sarah, Great blog. Our daughter did one while she was in Uganda last summer and it was so much fun reading her daily musings. Thanks for sharing and someone recently asked me why I thought Cursillo is so amazing. I think it is kind of like a lazer beam. After one hour of church our spirits are immediately diffused by distractions, problems, commitments and busyness. At Cursillo we have three days for that focus on God to allow Him to make a huge impact. Also, the tremendous outpouring of prayer so magnifies the human efforts of the staff. So glad we could share the weekend with you and Sophie! DeColores! Dot
