Katy’s Weblog
Bethlehem Village highlights for me after four days:
A little boy came up to me 3 times to give me a hug just to say, “Hi Auntie Katy!” The 3rd time he says, “My name is Warren.” “I know that,” I said, “and your mom’s name is Eustine.” He was taken aback. “How did you know?”, he asked. Out of 80+ children, he didn’t think I knew who he was. “You’ve been coming to our VBS since you were little. Of course I know you!” I replied.
Bethlehem Village
Our church was transformed into Bethlehem Village this week for Vacation Bible School 2006.
Isn’t this the cutest outdoor scene? I bet you can’t guess what the whole thing is made out of – Amazing things you can create out of cardboard boxes! Check out Dan’s blog for a good description of what happens in Bethlehem Village.
I am not stupid (don’t argue that please), but Elliot quoted a comment from Slashdot that kind of described me, other than the stupid part.
There are techno-snobs and there are techno-phobes. I am obviously of the latter.
We switched from Verizon to Cingular cell phone service. Now I have to learn to use a new phone. Somebody change my ring tone for me!! (Thanks, Audrey)

Have you ever had to choose a paint color for your house?
It’s not easy. The paint companies such as Dunn-Edward, Behr, etc. has nicely coordinating pallets for you to choose from.
In the end, the actual appearance is likely to be different from what you imagined.
Christians United for Israel is an interesting site.
What do you think of this open war between Israel and Lebanon? It’s kind of scary.
Israel has always held a special place in God’s plan. No matter what the outcome, Israel in one way or another will survive. I believe that those who fight against Israel are fighting against God.
Wouldn’t it be fun to have lots of money to give away like Buffet and Gates?
I would fund missionaries, BIOLA and small ministries that help people in the fringes, like Emmanus.
If all us little people each do our part in giving, we would together be like Buffet and Gates!
A friend told me his boss’ wife has a medical condition with little hope of recovery. She has tried to commit suicide. “She has lost hope”, the husband told my friend.
What hope do any of us have, if you think about it. When we have healthy bodies, we work and we hope for more…
I want my house to look like IKEA!
The display for a 350 sqft studio apartment was amazing. There was not an inch of wasted space.
We walked out of IKEA without buying a thing, but that 2-hour tour of IKEA inspired Amy and I to clean the house and organize our lives. I think everyone should go to IKEA once a month – to catch a vision.
I was waiting for an important document to be emailed to me. I didn’t receive it.
“Please send it again.”
“I still didn’t get it.”
I call tech support: Elliot.
Elliot: “Did you check your spam folder?”
And there it is! Do you check your spam folder? I don’t, but from now on I will!…
