Oh my goodness, what a day! Shelbi and I love Sundays-we love our church family and getting to fellowship with them and worship alongside them. But THIS Sunday was extra special! Governor Bobby Jindal was out our church today to give his personal testimony. Okay, let me just say that we were already big Jindal supporters before today, but now I think we may be MEGA-supporters! I was completely blown away by how REAL and sincere this man was. Do you know that he spoke SINCERELY to our congregation for about 40 straight minutes without a single notecard? He spoke straight from his heart and was extremely candid about very personal aspects of his life-I was so impressed with that. When the service was over, they informed us that he would be out front to meet folks. I couldn't believe it! The governor of our state was taking time out of his 4th of July holiday to shake hands with the easy 1000 people of our church? Shelbi nearly knocked down the others in our pew to get out there; she was determined to meet him! As you can see by the new picture on this page, not only did she get to shake hands with him, but he gladly took his picture with her! We were quickly able to tell him that she was a St Jude patient(he has a son with a serious heart condition as well) and he lovingly told her that she would be in his prayers and that he hoped she continued to do well. WOW! She was so excited-especially since I told her this man could very well be our President one day!
Needless to say, we have had a very exciting morning and are off for more fun this afternoon. My mom's birthday was yesterday and Shelbi's cousin Johnanna's birthday was last week, so we are off for a family get together and some swimming in Choudrant. Happy 4th holiday everyone!!!
