When we got back to LR I was very excited about a series our church here was doing called Ten for Life. The staff had picked their ten favorite verses in the Bible, the verses that they thought you should have even if all the Bibles were destroyed. Then Pastor Rod challenged the congregation to memorize these verses over the next ten weeks and it was an incredible journey. We learned the verses, studied them on Sunday, sang about them, and prayed them with our family. Even Britton learned all ten verses, we are so proud of him. Last Friday the church had an amazing party for everyone who learned all the verses and it was awesome! We had all sorts of food, a candy bar, carnival games, blow up jump houses, rock climbing wall, juggling.... everything you can imagine and even gave away a trip to Disney world that someone donated. It was a great celebration, not an accomplishment of people, but of God's amazing word and that will will never fade and never change.
