Froelich's Frolics

On Saturday, our church held our annual Sunday School Picnic. it was at Independence Park in White River Township. That is a nice park. it was developed to be accessible to everyone, meaning people with disabilties could still enjoy going to the park. We had a good turn-out despite the heat. It was around 90 and humid. I didn't feel a brezze all day. Carl had invited a lot of his family, and they were able to come. It was nice to have them meet my Mom and my side of the family, and to have them meet our churhc family as well. They had a good time. The picnic started at about 11 and we didn't leave until about 3:30, almost 4. We had several of the bus kids from church there as well. We ate lots of food, and played games. It was a good time. Here is a link to pictures from the day: Church Picnic 2008

Tonight in church we sang a song called "I Must Tell Jesus." (Number 152 in your Praise and Worship Hymnal...) The second verse reads as follows: I must tell Jesus all of my troubles; He is a kind, compassionate Friend. If I but ask Him, He will deliver, Make of my troubles quickly an end. Then the Chorus goes: I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! I cannot bear these burdens alone. I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! Jesus can help me, Jesus alone. That verse really stuck out to me tonight. I don't know how many times I have sang (or is it have sung?) that song, but it really meant a lot to me tonight. Jesus IS a kind, compassionate friend. He really does care for each of His children. He will helps us in our troubles, and make of them "quickly an end." Even when it seems like we are never going to get out of the mess in which we often find ourselves, God is there every step of the way. Like in another song we sang tonight, Jesus will walk with [us]...giving...

This picture makes me smile...:) This is Carl and I at the park today while on my lunch break. And believe me, with the way the past couple of weeks have been, I need something to make me smile. Things at work are crazy, and are only going to get much crazier in the weeks to come. Plus, there are some other issues that I can't explain, but they need a lot of prayer. Two issues, especially, need to be resolved fairly quickly to avoid more complications. Pray that the people involved weigh all sides of the matter before making a decision.
