- most recent coffee tasted: Kenya Peaberry (thank you, Paul!)
- favorite Fall TV shows (they’re only fun when I watch with my Mercier family ;)): DWTS (of course!) & Hawaii Five-O (absolutely aMAZing!!)
- DWTS: starting line favorites – Kyle & Lacey, Jennifer & Derek, Kurt & Anna, and Florence & Corky. 🙂
- Len Goodman: “It’s never too early to panic.”

- truth & worship for CBC preschoolers: I’m really enjoying the opportunity to serve in Truth & Worship. 4 year olds & K are fun to sing with. This year we’re studying the gospel of Matthew. We’re transitioning from the OT to the fulfillment of God’s promise of a Messiah in chapter 1. I taught the kids about Immanuel (“God with us”) and we sang a few songs to emphasize the truths learned – Praise the Name of Jesus, Away in a Manger, and Joy to the World. (Christmas songs in September. Oh yeah, it can be done!)
- favorite verses of the day:
- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. Romans 5:8-9
- but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. Psalm 147:11
