Portrait of God
It was a fun day. I had the opportunity again to lead worship at church again this morning (about once to twice a month). Here are the songs we led with: Amazing Grace (grand piano, cello, vocals), Hold Me Now by Jennifer Knapp, Everything by Lifehouse, How He Loves by John McMillan, and 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman. Our church, (Tim, Sarah, and I all attend the same church) has been making its way through a series called A Portrait of God, which examined some of the main pictures the Bible paints of God. We studied God who Calls, God who Forgives, God who provides, God who dwells among, God who creates, and God who teaches. It was a great series and we capped it off with a trip to the DIA today to see the opening day exhibition of the Face of Jesus by Rembrandt. It was fascinating and I would recommend it to anyone who is in town.

Three New Friends at my Door!
I came home today to find a very large box at my door. I opened it up and found three new friends! How wonderful!!!!
Carol thank you thank you thank you!!! They are wonderful!!! Carol has made me three cutout mannequins for the store and I LOVE THEM!!!!!! I had to put on the sweaters I made for the Girls right away just to see how they look. I really want to thank you Carol for sharing your talents with me and the store. They will make their debut at the store in the windows for Christmas. I can't wait to bring them. You are very kind to make these for me and what fun I will have dressing them over the years.
I am so thrilled thanks again Carol so very much: Emily
