I really have so little to blog about....Hum!!!!!!!...*twiddles thumbs.* I did go down to Trumann last Sunday night to preach for them. It was the first time I had officially been there since transferring over a year ago. They were still the same great people with the addition of some new, but familiar faces. At least five from the former organization were there in attendance with them. I have known them all for a long time. I have never worshipped with them though and that was great. It was really good to be there.
The Jernigan's little girl is such a mess. She says some of the funniest things. We were all out in the hall talking after service and she looked up at em with that big ole grin and said, "Yeah, we need another preacher." It was as if she were trying to hire me. She wasn't trying to replace her dad, just supplement him.
Sunday morning the Investigation process began. Our Junior Detectives had a case to crack. They are pretty new at this and no the most observant. It was the Mystery of the Missing Jewelry. A Church family was gone to the Regional Convention. They left a young neighbor to house sit for them, watch their dog and bird and watch over a precious antique jewelry box. the boy forgot and left the door unlocked and open while he ran home. He returned and looked things over finding nothing missing. The dog go rowdy and knocked the jewelry box off spilling its contents...IT WAS EMPTY!!!!!! Oh, no! Where did the jewelry go? Had it been taken? There was a crime scene set up int he borrowed nursery complete with "Do Not Cross" tape. There was the box, a highlighted "We Hold These Truths" tract (you can just imagine what was highlighted) and a picture of the couple (non-be-jeweled people from a catalog). Sounds like an open and shut case. Not hardly, our super sleuths had to work and work and work to figure that out. Finally they did. Then they had to figure out which person from the congregation took their treat, Crackerjacks. It was very fun and we got to teach them a lesson on modesty in a very unique way. They enjoyed it. There will be more mysteries to solve.
The real mystery is how I started with nothing to blog about and now I can't seem to stop. I must. God bless you all.

Check my second comment on your last post. Sounds like your sleuthing went pretty well. You have such a creative mind. I trust that all of those kids will grow up to realize how blessed they have been to have you as a teacher.
Thank you very much. The next case will be a murder! The old man lay dead on the floor or at least a tape outline.
