Cathy’s Pointe
At the first of this year, we made the move from weekly Monday activities at Cypress Creek to Cathy’s Pointe Apartments. Cathy’s Point is adjacent to the North Grand Villas and is FULL of kids. They asked us to considering coming over there last summer, and the time was right to make the move starting […]
I was blind but now I see
We talked about Jesus healing the blind man. What better way to prepare for the story than blindfold races? We made teams of two. One partner was blindfolded and led only be the voice of their partner – no touching. The kids raced to a designated point. It was pretty funny, and no one was […]
Coffee filter butterflies
So this week’s photo of the week will actually be 3 pictures – I couldn’t choose just one. We talked about how in Christ we are new creations, and to remind us of that, we made coffee filter butterflies. They turned out really cool. We colored the filters with markers, sprayed them with water (which […]
If you were in charge…
We talked this week about Josiah, the boy who became king at age 8 and decided to pursue God and do what is right. I asked the kids if they suddenly found themselves in charge of our country, what is the first law they would enact. Their responses were fun and informative. Below are a few: […]
The Battle of Jericho
We’ve been studying the Old Testament during our Bible Studies at both NGV and Cy Creek this year. Last week, we discussed Joshua leading the Israelites into battle with Jericho, and the march around the wall. To reinact the story, we built walls using bricks made out of brown paper sacks stuffed with newspaper. It […]
Busy and fun times
It’s been a busy month or so, so much that I haven’t had the chance to blog much. Figured I post a couple of pictures of both apartments. We’ve had too many kids to count at both places the last several weeks. It’s been exciting, but has also made for some crazy times. Spring tends […]
This and That
1. Sorry. It’s been a while since I last blogged. Things have actually been kind of quite around the ministry the last couple of weeks. When the weather gets cold and snow, the apartments kind of shut down. (The North Grand Villas literally shut down last week when a main water line broke and the […]
Road trip Monday
Monday was an interesting day. Early yesterday morning I took my friend Jesse to Lubbock to see a specialist. He’s having some serious back problems and we’re trying to find the best plan of action to take. So we spent 3 and a half hours on the road and about 30 actually seeing the doctor. […]
How about a picture to start off the year?
I’ve been a bad blogger to start 2011. We’re off to a fun start on the year. I’ll have more to share next week, but I think I probably should post something. So here’s a great picture. It really made me laugh. We were playing with Play-Doh, and the boys decided to make mustaches. This […]
Art Auction and Benefit Concert
We’re hard at work painting pictures.

Enjoy coffee and great music from artists like Billy Bob White […]
