Wow, what a day!

We spent the night at the DoubleTree Resort in Lancaster, PA last night and then after lunch today we headed to the Strasburg Rail Road for some family fun!

Pictures are here.

Some clips from the train ride:

DIVIDED –

DIVIDED follows young Christian filmmaker Philip Leclerc on a revealing journey as he seeks answers to what has led his generation away from the church. Traveling across the country conducting research and interviewing church kids, youth ministry experts, evangelists, statisticians, social commentators, and pastors, Philip discovers the shockingly sinister roots of modern, age-segregated church programs, and the equally shocking evidence that the pattern in the Bible for training future generations is at odds with modern church practices. He also discovers a growing number of churches that are abandoning age-segregated Sunday school and youth ministry to embrace the discipleship model that God prescribes in His Word.

I am currently watching (listening) to a fantastic documentary, “Divided” that is going to be causing quite a stir in the Church. I’m a bit over halfway through and already knew I needed to post a blog about it and encourage my readers to watch it.

First, the trailer to whet your appetite:

This is especially relevant to my youth ministry and local church ministry friends and family!

The entire film is available to watch for FREE through the month of September – I STRONGLY encourage you to watch this film:

The DVD of this film, Divided is available on Amazon for just $19!

The other night, I managed to record one of Ella’s bedtime prayers:

I love this little girl and the sincerity of her prayer!

(I also love that she loves watching Mythbusters with me!)

Captured these moments after service this morning – Ella and Ezra both needed microphones as they sang “Jesus Loves Me”:

I finally downloaded the pictures from Ella’s camera today and after sifting through the nearly 200, there were a little more than 30 that resembled something other than complete darkness or complete whiteness.

All 30+ are uploaded here.
