As usual, I haven't posted in awhle. Life is full, never dull, but I find myself either too tired, or assume a story isn't interesting enough to post, or let's just get down to the real reason ...the evenings when Scotty gets home, we sit and play "words with friends" and that is our down time now. So fun. He sits in his chair, I sit on our couch and we play back and forth and just have a fun time. Some couples play cards, some put puzzles together, we play "words with friends."
Anyhow, Scotty is in the middle of rehearsals for Guys and Dolls (June 23-26). You for sure need to come see it! It will be a WONDERFUL production. I am actually not in this show because my family goes on vacation during rehearsal time and I would have missed too many rehearsals, so I had to choose. It was actually a difficult decision believe it or not because Guys and Dolls has always been one of my all time favorites. Don't ask me why, but in college I became somewhat obsessed with it. I think because it was the first show on Broadway I had ever seen and from that moment on I was captured. But, "c'est la vie" as the French would say. I decided to go with a vacation instead, which I am super excited about. Our family has been going to the same place for the past 15 yrs. and it is truly a little heaven on earth. We love it! Of course, I am just plain ol excited about being with my family~ I get just as excited when all my family is together as Scotty does when he goes to Disney.
Many of you know there is a family who just joined staff at The Inn and they found out 2 weeks ago their little boy, Michael has leukemia. But, PRAISE THE LORD he is doing remarkably well and it has been such an amazing process to see how his parents along with the body of Christ have stood in faith for his healing. He had a huge mass on his chest, that is now completely gone. It looks like he will be coming home sometime next week. He will have to continue with treatment, but we are all rejoicing that he is being healed. So, if you think about it, please continue to pray.
The interns arrive at The Inn on June 8th. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store as families and young people walk through the Inn's doors. I love what takes place at The Inn during the summer in the lives of young people. I love to see how the Lord transforms these individuals lives and I love being a part of the process of knowing I am helping futher the Kingdom of God. Although I won't be as involved this summer, I know that the Lord has incredible things in store and I am waiting in anticipation to hear the testimonies and stories that will be told. If you know of a young person between the ages of 14-17 yrs. who would be intersted in attending a very exciting week, let me know or have them visit our website at www.heroesoftoday.com.
We continue to practically live at the theatre. Scotty is now the manager, so his work load has tripled, but his is totally in his element and loving it. He has such a passion for this place and it makes me excited to be around him and with him as he continues to live out his dream. God really is so good! We are just so blessed to be able to have a place like this in our hometown. There are still so many moments I will stop dead in my tracks and have to pinch myself to make sure it is real. I feel so grateful to be able to share this experience with my husband~ not to mention (because she is standing in my doorway and telling me I better being writing about her on my blog) that Rachel Alford is so cool that there just aren't words to describe her! She really has made me laugh all day today and I really am glad she is around for the summer.
Well folks, enough rambling for now. I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial weekend and enjoy all the hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, tator tots, baked bean, potato chips, pickles, corn on the cob, & homemade icecream that this world has to offer. I plan to-
