March 3, 2009 ~ Melissa ~ 1 Comment

Came across a neat twitter today called @Tweetvo.  Every day you get a devo in 140 characters or less that you can text or tweeter to others.  It's a great tool for youth ministry.  Here is just one sample from Feb. 27th.  Love what it says: Christian convictions vary & thatz OK*B Tru 2 wut … Continue reading Twitter this and Twitter That

Dreaming Like Children

February 8, 2009 ~ Melissa ~ 1 Comment

My 4-year-old nephew and I were hanging out at church before service ended.  A friend said, "Aunt Moe would do anything for you, Blake." I said, "That's right. Blake - if you want the moon, I'd get it for you."  Blake says, "What moon?" I said, "The moon in the sky.  Do you think Aunt Moe … Continue reading Dreaming Like Children

On Friday evening, one of my youth girls, Erin, was involved in a car accident - along with her grandma and her little sister, Margaret. Erin broke her hand in the wreck and her grandma has some bruising from the seatbelt and I'm sure both are quite sore today from the impact. Along with these … Continue reading Margaret Romph

Interesting Mail Day

There were four items in my mailbox today: 1.  Letter from my sponsored child in Kenya. 2.  Letter from my sponsored child in Rwanda. 3.  Packet from the America World Adoption organization. 4.  The water bill.  (not so exciting but small so that is good.) Just interesting to have such diversity in my mailbox related … Continue reading Interesting Mail Day

A Special Christmas Present

December 29, 2008 ~ Melissa ~ 1 Comment

One of my former youth (graduated last year) made me this special Christmas video.  I love it!!  She put a lot of time into finding pictures (and she was fairly kind) and also my favorite song!!  I love thoughtful gifts like this and the fact that she put so much time into.  Makes a youth … Continue reading A Special Christmas Present

New Church in the Hood

December 22, 2008 ~ Melissa ~ 5 Comments

I heard tonight about a new church plant in Jefferson City so I checked out the website to see what it was about.  I was hopeful.  Although I'm on staff at another church, there are more than enough people to love and serve in this community and a lot of different styles and communities are needed … Continue reading New Church in the Hood

Sunday in Review

December 22, 2008 ~ Melissa ~ Leave a comment

After church, I drove a friend to the airport in St. Louis. On my way back, I headed to Columbia for an evening with my Peer Learning Group. They are an amazing group of friends and it has been a highlight of 2008 to connect with them. We came together as a group early in … Continue reading Sunday in Review

December 17, 2008 ~ Melissa ~ 1 Comment

My nephew is a big fan of fire trucks and wants one for Christmas so I found one through Amazon.com and decided to purchase it.  It was $40 and it was sold by ModWare. I had an email from ModWare this morning stating that they were out of stock on that particular item but that they … Continue reading Thanks to ModWare
