I wanted to give you a little video of what is happening upstairs while the parents are being babysat downstairs. Caroline and Cameron are teaching on faith and here is a little bit of their lesson on Daniel! Enjoy!

I must confess there have been several Sundays I have woken up just a little groggy thinking about the day ahead. My mind wanders through any other Sunday and then I am reminded of the possibilities of homemade coffee cake at church. Maybe you’ve teetered on the brink of “Do I go or stay home?” Well, honestly I’ve done that a couple times, but with the thought of coffee cake, the scale is tipped and I pop out of bed.  I know that sounds superficial. I wish I could say the thought of the worship song was what got my heart a jumping, but I’ll be honest…it was the coffee cake. Maybe it’s the connection with people or maybe it’s the large amounts of sugar that tops the delightful cake. I’ve always marveled that coffee cake makes the cut for breakfast food. Since I am not much of a cook, I am always just a little awed when someone takes the time to make something like the person who wouldn’t let me take her picture (Nancy Brooke). It’s an act of love and community and one that I deeply appreciate. I’ve snagged a photo of one of her offspring, so if you find him…she’ll be close and you can thank her yourself if your heart pounds just a little quicker when you think about coffee cake.
