Sat., Oct. 31, 2026, Set your clock back in Mich...fall back, We went to Disciple Leadership class at church, came home, read Bibles, then napped, I went to do errands, Bill tilled the garden, went to Bruce and Melissa’s in the evening

Such a beautiful morning.  When we walked out to the car to go to class at church, it looked so beautiful across the road.

Adam surprised us all and got off work to come to Melissa and Bruces.  He came up the driveway and I was so happy.  He made my day.  

I was very happy to see Tasha, Caleb and Jacob too.  They didn’t make it last year.  Tasha always brings the best cake.  Rehvyn stepped into the picture at the last minute.  He played so good with Aunt Missy’s toys.

We went to church at 8:30 a.m.  Pastor Gabe taught a class on disciple leadership for all who want to be used in discipling believers in our church one on one.  He did a great job on explaining things so we are all on the same page.  We have a book we use and Bill and I have both discipled people, using it.  He handed us a handout to use to answer some questions, then we discussed them at our individual tables.  Mikayla and Will and Jennifer and David, and Rena were at our table.  We had good sharing and discussions.  Then Pastor Gabe went over things in the handout and did a great job explaining things.  At the end we had time to share a time we were mentored or a time we mentored someone.  That went well too.  It was in our fellowship hall and the room was filled.  This is the second class so there are many who want to be used by God to disciple people.  Praise the Lord. 

We went to Levi’s for breakfast afterward with Debbie and Jeff.  He’s one of our Elders, and also he and Debbie lead intercessory prayer night.  We had a nice visit and a good breakfast. They are really dear friends.   

We came home and we read our Bibles.  I had read some this morning so I finished before Bill.  I told him I was going to take a nap.  I couldn’t fall asleep, but rested and noticed he was sleeping while holding his Bible and highlighter.  I decided I wasn’t going to sleep anyway, so went to the bank, went to get a card for a friend Al, whose retirement party is tomorrow.  I went to Hobby Lobby to look for the kind of pens Kimmy has.  I didn’t find them.  I did get some pretty stickers for my Bible.  Then Bill wanted me to go to Sam’s Club and pick up some chocolate covered almonds.  I also got Hailey a big bag of chocolate chips because she always is baking something for us.  I went to Meijer after that and looked for pens too, but didn’t find the right ones.  I picked up a treat ball and some bully sticks for the puppy.  I had a hard time getting online in the store so I could use  Shop and Scan.  I prayed after a long time and finally got on.  I earned 1,000 points for Meyer Perks just by doing a $ for  Shop and Scan. I have almost 20,000 points so will get 2 fill ups at $1 oof gas.  Doing one more Shop and Scan tomorrow.

Came home and relaxed and worked on catching up blogs.  When I finish this later tonight, I will be all caught up.  Yay!

I added pictures from Melissa’s tonight when we went for chili.  I was so happy to see Adam when he called me when I was getting out of my car.  I was. happy to get a big hug from all the grandkids.  I took full size candy bars and gave Max his Butterfinger first.  Then I let all the grandkids and girlfriends and friends pick one out too.  I gave Rehvyn M & M’s.  I was happy to see him, Kenzie and Travis.  We all missed Jacob and Hailey.  Jacob was in Lansing and Hailey was in Chicago.  It was nice seeing everyone that was there and visiting.  I had a small bowl of chili and a small plate of Vikki’s Alfredo with broccoli that she brought for Kimmy.  Tasha made her yummy cake with cream cheese frosting which we all love, Jared made chocolate chip cookies and Kimmy made brownies.  It was all delicious.  I didn’t see Eli and Isaac other than for a second, until about a half hour before we left.  They were the last two to get their candy bars.  I’m glad I took a lot of extra candy bars.  

We dropped Peyton and Morgan off at Morgan’s house.  They were having a sleepover.   We came home then and I worked on my blog and then talked to Melissa for quite a while.  They had everything so nice for everyone.  We all had fun.

Kenzie handed out our invitations to Rehvyn’s Birthday Party.  They are such cute invitations.  3 Speckled Frogs theme.  Kenzie did a great job on them.
