Seven teens and I loaded up Sunday afternoon to shop for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Thanks to generous donations from our church family we were able to select gifts to bless nine children with boxes. The Gospel message is presented with each box as well! Praise the Lord! That's what CHRISTmas is all about.
Since I had to buy camera batteries while we were at Walmart, the only pictures I got were on the way home. I had every intention of getting pics of the kids packing the boxes after we got back to church, but I got busy packing boxes myself and... This is all I've got - sorry.
The picture taking went well...
until they figured out I had the camera...
(side note: That stuff Brice has is called Flarp. As far as I can tell, it is the most disgusting substance known to man. Why they make such a product, I'll never know, but it is HIGHLY entertaining for teenagers apparently!)
Stephen figured out that I had the camera.
And then I was camera-jacked... and it went WAY downhill!
The guys in the back didn't want to be left out.
They only took about thirty pictures of themselves.
I think this one is my favorite, Chelsea!
Notice that Grace has chosen the high road! I like that girl!
All in all, it was a good trip. I would do it again. (I'm quite possibly that crazy.) We accomplished some good things for the Kingdom. We have prayed for the recipients of each box to be blessed by the gifts and the Giver. Please join us in continuing that prayer as our boxes make their way to their destinations around the world. May Christ be lifted up through this project.
Arrival at the MAZE - note the height of the corn... It was still a lot of fun!
Grace stops in Wilmington.
Grace and Summer - trying to be spooky.
Sarah Grace shows the way in.
This was the first time at a corn maze for many of us.
This is just too funny for words!

Teens worshiping in song.
Nathan was selected by the illusionist for a trick.
I think he knew I was taking pictures?
Illusionist Drew Worsham.
Kelly was selected by the illusionist to "pick a card". He guessed her card and the cards of four others. (They had to close their eyes during the trick.)
The Jonathan Project leading us in worship.
Silly teens.
More silly teens.
And still more.
