Show Us Your Life - Your Church
It has been awhile since I have linked up with Kelly for her Show Us Your Life Blog Hop, but I could not pass on talking about my church.
BTW....here is the link to our church's website....
We are members of and attend First United Methodist Church in Bennettsville.
It is an old church that sits right on Main Street. We have a beautiful sanctuary...
and a huge Christian Education building that attaches to the rear of the sanctuary.
Here are a few more pictures of the inside of the church....

Next door to the main building is the Methodist Family Life Center. We have lots of activities, meals, church league basketball games, parties, and Bible school in this building. During football season, it is a teen-hangout as we host "Postgame on Main" after each home game.

My family and I love our church and support it with our prayers, presence, and service. It is definitely a place where we can go to feel the love of God and worship with others who are true believers.
What I'm Loving Wednesday
I'm so pleased to participate in this week's edition of
What I'm Loving Wednesday!
(Keep reading and you'll see why...)
I'm loving that the MC Lady Bulldogs varsity softball team defeated the Darlington Falcons in a long, defensive game. The score was 0 - 0 for most of the game, and in the bottom of the 7th, Dakota hit a double and brought in the only run of the game, and Marlboro was victorious! It was seroiusly a tense game, but everyone was so happy that the Bulldogs came out on top!!
I'm loving little Pippi, MJ's puppy. She is certainly a handful, but cute as she can be!
Sorry, but I'm definitely NOT loving all of this rainy, cool weather. C'mon now....it's about April! We need sunshine and warmth!
I'm loving that Charles has a prospective job on the line. He may start working on the greens at Clio Country Club! HOORAY!! He needs a paying job!!
I'm loving, as always, my three lively teenagers and my sweet, reliable husband. They are my reasons for being.....I love you all!

Miscellany Monday
I know I'm running late this week, but I still wanted to share a
few thoughts on one of my favorite memes
MISCELLANY MONDAY!
It's the last week of March! I remember that March definitely came "in like a lion," so I'm hoping it will "go out like a lamb" as the saying goes! My fingers are crossed....
I'm still working with my medical homebound student. I go see him on Mondays and Wednesdays. Hopefully he'll be able to go back to school soon as review for state-wide testing is starting.
We're studying neighborhoods and signs this week. I've got lots of creative ideas to work into my lesson plans. We are going to have so much fun with these two topics!
I've finished one of the Relay for Life lap quilts and just have to tie the other one before it is complete. I'm planning to make one more for the school's team to raffle off as a fundraiser. The coach who's the team leader is "Fundraising Trough the Alphabet," so this is, of course, an effort for the letter Q!!
MJ and Josh are finally and officially a couple!
I'm happy, and I'm happy that they are happy!! :))
Enough for this Monday.....hope everyone has a wonderful week!
