What you think does matter

The Children "Back To School Bash" was a great opportunity for the childrens ministry to help other children and provide the community with much needed school supplies. The children Ministry [ all the children working together - and raising all the funds needed ] prepared 108 fully packed with school supplies bookbags. More than 77 children registered to recieve a book bag full of supplies - even arounf 2 pm when the event was ending, people were still ariving to recieve a Free book bag of supplies. There were 108 bag ready paid for and prepared by Children Ministry Sgt Monica Sauls from the Sheriffs department was there to meet the children and give away coloring books on safety and badges. The Kids loved the Real Sherif's patrol car! Childrens Pastor Mrs June tried to rap - if you call it that...LOL Some of the children being handed thier FREE book bag with Supplies Thats a lot of KIDS !!! H Here's a clip of the Children friendly Christian Rap show

The childrens ministry at Living waters Church of God , had a "FUN" MOster water slide for thier back to school bash. they gave out a lot of food and several bookbags full of school supplies - and everyone much appriciated it- but the thrill of the day was watching Senior Pastor John N. Schnieder face the "FUN" but large Monster water slide. Some fear - but Pastor loves a challenge This Moster water slide was hard to climb but fun sliding down Pastor Schnieder - He knows this slide can take alot out of you! One point Monster Water slide - Zero points to the Pastor - The winner all of us who enjoyed the day

I have my own reasons for upgrading my Ticket to an "end of year" pass. But if my family wants to believe that I did it becuase I love them, and I plan to return to all the special events they have here at Cypress garden - they are right. But the real reason why I paid to upgrade my "Cypress Garden" admission tickets to the Cypress Garden end of year pass [ where you pay an extra $10 for each ticket today and you can enter Cypress Garden free for the rest of the year until the end of the year ]. My personal reason - well you might think I'm cheap - but consider this. We've been to cypress garden twice already this year and if you calculate the cost - that adds up to $320 dollars [ just in tickets ] and we will probably go again [ after all it's close and cheaper than Walt-disney world ]. So I figure I might look good with the family and save myself a couple hundred bucks..... And look at the events comming up at Cypress Gardens: August 16th, 2008 Florid

I have to say, I was amazed with the electronic Lockers But my kids being animal lovers - they had a hoot in the animal display section. They especially went bonkers over the talking Parrot. see video below They also enjoyed the alligator - who was to close for comfort for me and Isaac gave us a scare when he tried to go in the Puma cage. Where does this kid get his ideas ??? see some of the other photos below.. I think Cypress Garden is a Great local "Water Park" !

Exciting or Not - what you say? Apparently it doesn’t take much now a days to excite me. We went to Cypress garden [ Florida oldest Theme park attraction ] . It’s a changed place - Cypress Garden - if you haven’t heard - now has a large water section [ water park ] with a lazy river, a large water park section with slides for kids and a wave pool. I think it’s great. Not to mention it has a bit for everyone - rides [ roller coasters I will never get on - no fool here - yes I’m scared ] and a Botanical garden - Cypress garden in my opinion - is the bomb! But you will never guess what was the most exciting part of the trip - the new improved electronic lockers. Yep, they have these cool electronic lockers there - no more key , they place this wristband on your arm and you go to the color section that matches your band and scan the band - and poof! A locker is automatically picked for you and opens all on it’s own. Can you believe it - no really, can you believe I was so impressed by a l

One slip and I could Drown... I was watching the news and paying close attention to the weather guy. I wanted to know what were the chances of rain tomorrow. Don't get me wrong I know we need it - our main large lake in town needs at least 28 inches of rain to make it back to normal levels. Right now, it looks like at some spots of the lake you could walk across to the other side of the 3,000 acre lake. So again - I want it to rain, but there is a limit .... let me see, It may be too much rain if I need to build a bridge to check the mail box.

Swimming Pool - My private curse My kids love animals or should i say - learning about animals. they both like to read books and watch programs about animals. There was a time there for a while that all we ever saw on TV was the show "Animal Kingdom" and the show with Steve Erwin - "the crocodile hunter" - crikie..... The problem is, for as much as they love learning about animals - they are not fond of swimming with animals. You see with all the rain we've been having lately, the swimming pool has become a haven for frogs looking to reproduce. So even though the swimming pool is fun for the kids - it has become a living hell for me... If it rains too much the frogs try to take over the pool with their offspring [ tadpoles ] and if it doesn't - the bugs [ like mosquitoes ] try to use it as a breeding ground. So if I don't want my kids to get sick - I have to follow a ritual: 1- check the pool in the morning to see if clean, pumps working and enough chlor
