Christmas at Lake Hart

January 7, 2009 mikeandsus

One of our favorite things to do at Christmas is to go to Campus Crusade’s Christmas party at headquarters. We have a large quadrangle between the two main buildings which was filled with people mingling around the tables and with a stage in the center. This year was a pretty chilly night for Florida. Our entertainers for the night work at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. All of the performers were from the Congo originally. You can even see them perform in someone’s home video. The theme for the night was international, as you have guessed by now. The food was from … Continue reading Christmas at Lake Hart

Jenny as Mrs. Cratchit

December 7, 2008 mikeandsus

After two months of dedicated work, Jenny’s school put on three performances of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. This photo of Jenny was taken backstage, ringlets and all.

We had barely unloaded the van when one of his “neighbors” dropped by to say “Hello.” It appears, though, that this little guy looks more interested in visiting the kitchen than getting to know the new neighbor from Florida!

The Disconnect

November 30, 2008 mikeandsus

I was glad and sad when my husband bought a transponder for the van I drive. I liked the convenience of not having to stop to pay tolls, but was saddened that I would not be handing tracts to the toll collectors anymore. Have you ever thought of the many ways we have been disconnected from the people around us? We swipe a card at the gas pump. We use an ATM instead of chatting with the bank teller. We can do our own checkout now at several stores. Increasingly, we can do many things without interacting with people. When … Continue reading The Disconnect
