I’m going to start posting Randy’s sermon videos to our blog each week for anyone who’s interested. The sermon this week was about “The Spiritual Act of Giving”. If you’re in the Lafayette, IN area, please stop by our church; it’s an amazing place.

Today Ruby has really started to rollover from her back to her stomach on a regular basis. Lindsay caught it on video.

This video is in honor of Kyle and Kim. If you know Harry Potter at all, it’s pretty amusing.

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear mom
Happy birthday to you.

I love you Mom, and I hope that you had a great day. I tried calling your home phone, but I think you’re all at VBS. Dad wasn’t answering his cell phone either. Oh well…I can wish you happy birthday multiple ways in this day and age! We love you very much!

Lindsay and I are trying to work on memorizing scripture with our small group this summer. We’ve actually done quite well over the last few weeks. Here are the ones I’m currently memorizing:

Galatians 2:20

This verse has always been one of my favorites, but I have never taken the time to fully memorize it. I think it sums up a lot of the Christian faith quite eloquently.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Matthew 6:24

This verse is especially meaningful to me right now. I am struggling a lot with how tight of a grip to keep on finances. So many people in our culture screw their lives up with money, but I don’t want to err so much to the tight-wad side that I end up putting my faith in savings or frugality rather than in God’s divine power.

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Megan, Mom and Jordan came down last weekend to join our church at Camp Tecumseh. Mom and Megan got up the courage to go down the zipline. I was especially proud of Mom for going; she was very apprehensive beforehand. Here’s a video of their zipline experience:

I finally found some bows that I don’t think are too hideously big or terrifying, plus they stay in Ruby’s hair! ( : Check it out. (This is not a highly flattering picture of Ruby, so I promise to get a better one when she is awake and in a great mood.)
