Daddy's Church

On Sunday morning on our way to church, Lexi will say, "Are we going to daddy's church?" Matthew has been preaching at Lakeside Baptist Church just outside of Trinidad, TX (about an hour from our house) for about 2 months and is planning to be there for at least another few weeks. We love the people there and they are so excited and ready to worship the Lord every week.

There is a puppet show every Sunday morning for the children and Luci especially loves the "puppETTE's." During worship in the sanctuary, the children are encouraged to come to the stage and grab a mic to help the ladies lead songs. Lexi likes doing that, except it lasts a little long for her so she wants to practice jumping off the stage for a while (umm...no!)

Last week, Ms. Juanice (the pianist) asked her to sit at the piano with her during worship. The congregation was singing "Just a Little Talk With Jesus" and we all heard Lexi's rendition...her little fingers pounding on the keys. I tried to nicely and calmly tell her to just watch Ms. Juanice play.

Every Sunday, when we walk out the church doors to get back in the car, Lexi says, "Daddy...I love your church!"

My prayer is that all three little L's will love "daddy's church" and choose to serve the Lord throughout their lives.

Here are some photos taken at church on 9/11...the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. They got Fire Chief hats to wear during Children's Church.


Luci and her friend, Peyton. She loved being carried around!
