Simple Smiles....

             I was perusing through Facebook checking out all the latest & greatest happenings from pretty much EVERYBODY that I know! (ha ha) I ran across this picture from when the AIM team was here this summer & it made me laugh & re-live a bit of the craziness.  Memories are always so amazing!  Sometimes they are wonderful... other times they are painful, but none the less they help to form us into the individuals that we are.  This photo is not all that profound, but it does remind me of a time of fun, ministry, change, influence, youth ministry, & simple curiosity.  Ian was quite fascinated with all of those crazy people on that AIM team.  He was the most intrigued, of course, by Pastor Ashley... and rightfully so!  Those of you that know him know he is quite an interesting character! (ha ha) The other star of the Photo is Rachel.  She is a special young lady.  Her expressions, mannerisms, & sweet spirit will forever be remembered in Venezuela!  This AIM team had a practice of competing in "staring" competitions when there were slow moments throughout the day.  Since they were ministering in Pavia, we had their schedule pretty packed.  But everyone needs a good competition every now & then!  Ian decided to make sure for himself that nobody cheated!  This is one of those photos that just makes me smile.  I hope it gives everyone else a smile too!  Happy Columbus Day....

  1. I didn't realize it was Columbus Day until I read this. I've been trying to figure out this "fall break" for a week now.
