The wonderful people of TK '08


Regina, Mary Sue, and Mom

Regina, Me, and Mary Sue

The lovely robes we have left til Sunday

Is that in the Bible?


Working on the Kingdom is a wonderful ministry. The Lord blesses our time in so many ways I cannot possibly begin to name them all. One way He blesses us is through our friendships. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Mary Sue Brashears and Regina Edmonson and Mom in costuming the choir. We have had so much fun. They are wonderful ladies and a hoot to work with. While costuming the choir, we found ourselves saying the same things over and over again: "No, you cannot wear your glasses." "You are just Jerusalem Jesus People" "This isn't the Jerusalem Gap!" "No tennis shoes, either bare feet or Jerusalem type sandals." "Let's see if we can find you a costume in a lovely shade of gray....they were almost all gray!" Most of the choir members were great to work with and others....well we had to explain, "No, there isn't a costume that will look great on you, because they are all robes!"

Needless to say it was a lot of fun. I think the funniest thing was when Mary Sue said, "Well, what do they think we are doing eating fabric and pooping out costumes?" That's what they are laughing about in that first picture. Mom said, "Here Mary Sue you have a string on your mouth!"

Remember when your daddy came in and said straight-faced that it looked like the JERUSALEM GOODWILL FIRE SALE! LOL LOL

It has been a GIGANTIC blessing working with Mary Sue and Regina. I know when God gave Mary Sue's name to me that He would be right about her! She is a diligent hard worker, funny and most of all, our new friend! Regina....I KNOW HER! I mean I know her from when we were young kids and were in the youth department at Geyer Springs. Good grief, I've been there since I was 8 years old and I'll be 54 this year...Regina and I had a blast re-living stupid things we did back then! How cool is that! And then, the real blessing is getting to work with my daughter - my buddy and pal! You were raised doing these kinds of things at church and now to see you coming up behind us....wow..it gives me great comfort to know that you'll be there to help me with my walker when I'm 80 and still doing The Kingdom! LOL LOL I love you, child of mine! Your momma that isn't ready to throw in the towel yet...the best is yet to be!!!!!!!
