From the Heart AND Water Balloon Ambush ON POP

Good Monday morning!

Super short...

And hopefully sweet!

From the Heart - On August 1, our Pastor (Kevin Hamm) began a two-part sermon entitled, "Ten Foundations Under Attack in America." Both sermons were excellent, eye-opening and definitely worth sharing with others. As always, Pastor Kevin based the sermons on what the Bible had to say about each of the Ten Foundations, so not only were they "excellent, eye-opening and worth sharing with others," they were also (most importantly) true.

If you call ahead, Gardendale First Baptist has a bookstore (Encouraging Word Bookstore), and you can purchase CDs or DVDs of these messages there for a minimal cost.

RANDOMNESS - Water Balloon Ambush ON POP - To say Judith and RT like throwing water balloons would be an understatement.

They kinda love it.

For our Beginning of Summer Water Balloon Fight, we made 500 of those attach-to-the-hose-and-fill-a-bunch-in-less-than-a-minute water balloons.

For the Water Ballon Ambush ON POP, they wanted 500 more, but we took turns filling 300 (or so) and we did just fine.

Judith and RT were in charge of four bunches each.

We put one baby pool full of balloons in the back of the old blue pickup truck...

And the other baby pool beside the house on the ground.

Both kids crouched in the back of the pickup waiting for Pop to come home from work.

Hmmm...

Pop may or may not have found out about the plan because he's wearing tennis shoes instead of his work shoes.

Again, hmmm.

RT is really into squirting the water balloons like squirt guns...

And he likes the double-barrel-underhand-toss, too.

Judith was very big into using the boat and other vehicles as a shield as she tried to sneak up on Pop.

Also, Pop was never supposed to take over the baby pool by the garage doors.

That was never in the plan...

And we really resent him for not sticking to the plan!

Someone may have been a little over-dramatic...

And it wasn't one of the two Grandtots.

Next year, same plan except we're adding Eden!

Have a great Monday. I have some BIG news to share in a couple of days (I'm already working on it)...

And when I say BIG, I mean BIG to me and not the world at large.

So I will talk to you very soon.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda

P.S. Can you guess?

And this is only A SMALL PART of the BIG NEWS TO ME!

Stay tuned!
