A Striking Resemblance?

Last Thursday morning Sophia made this picture of Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable at our church's Moms' and Toddlers' group. Afterward we went to the grocery store and bought this jar of pimento-stuffed green olives. Sophia saw them sitting on the kitchen counter and exclaimed, pointing at the jar, "That's baby Jesus!"

What do you think? Is the resemblance a striking one?

King's College London Guy's Campus CU Weekend Away

Facebookers, see our blog, http://wbsenglish.blogspot.com, to see this slideshow & video.





Wes, Sophia, and I spent last weekend in a neighboring county with 15-20 students from King's College London, Guy's Campus Christian Union. Over the course of the weekend Wes gave four talks from John's gospel.

Usually Sophia and I don't attend CU Weekend Aways, but the students of the CU worked really hard to accommodate us. Most of our time was spent at a local church where the students were staying, and Sophia loves being at church. Two of the main reasons are because church for a 2-year-old means cookies at tea breaks and toys in the creche (nursery). As you can see from the photos and video, Sophia enjoyed both last weekend.

It was also a good time for the students--a time to get to know each other better and study the Bible together, both as ends in themselves, but also as precursors to the CU's Mission Week next week. Please pray for the students as they put on special events Nov 16-20 to blanket their campus with the good news about Jesus.

Work of Art?

Here is Sophia's rendering of the classic American child Thanksgiving craft, the hand-turkey. We turned this into invitations for our British neighbors to join us for pumpkin and pecan pies later in the month. I thought the caption was necessary in case, being unfamiliar with hand-turkeys, our neighbors wondered what on earth we'd put through their mail slots.
