Sandy's Sayings

Only At A Church

 

If you don't know, weird things happen at churches all the time. For instance, one morning I went to go get in our church van to find something like key blanks sitting on the driver seat. If you put these tools together in a certain way, you could drive off with any ford van. Thankfully or new van at the time didn't drive away with a thief!

 

This mornings email from our receptionist Linda, was one for the records. The email subject: Missing Stove Knobs! The body of the email, "Seriously? Can anyone shed light on this one?" Attached was a picture of our stove, who had been robbed of all four of its knobs! So here is the official BOLO (cop term for Be On The Lookout)! "Four white knobs that lovingly turn our stove off and on so the men at Men's Fraternity can cook and eat their yummy breakfast as they deepen their relationship with God." Seriously?? Who steals knobs from a stove?

Heard In My Life Group

Once a month our Jr. High Life Groups go and do something fun as a group! So tonight as we were finishing up our discussion, I asked the girls in my group what they would like to do for our "play night." Mimi answered out of the blue, "shave a rat!" Then Cailin responded, "and die it pink!" Claire chimed in with "draw on it with a purple sharpie!" And I didn't catch who said, "we have to give it a mohawk!"

First, I had no clue you could shave a rat! Second, should I be concerned that 1) they want to shave a rat, 2) die it pink, 3) tatoo it with a sharpie and lastly give it a mohawk?

Heard On The Road

While driving our high school students to Hume Lake Winter Camp today, one of the Freshmen girls asked, "does snow fall from the sky?"

Heard In The Hallway: Naughty or Nice!

I overheard this conversation in the hallway at church between two preschool mom's. The mom was telling the other mom that her preschooler had seen a lighting flash for the first time. This preschooler had been a handful that day, so when the preschooler asked what that flash of light was the mother told her preschooler that it was "Santa taking her picture being a "naughty" little girl!"

The Digital Story Of The Nativity

This one is going around.

Go See The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go see the next movie in the Narnia Series: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader! I was with a group of pastors getting a pre-screening and then giving input through a survey. I'm a huge fan of the books by C.S.Lewis and have enjoyed the movies, but Walden Media and Grace Hill Media have done an outstanding job with this third installment! I think this is the best movie they have made in the series. GO SEE THIS MOVIE! It opens on Friday!

 

The iBand

North Point Church did this one, I sent this one to our staff! This would be fun to do!
