Jordan's Speech Meet

Jordan competed in speech this year in the category of Great Speeches. He gave Robert F. Kennedy's speech in Indianapolis following Martin Luther King's assassination. The speech included commentary that Jordan had researched about the speech. He did an awesome job, placing 6th in the category. The Pine City Junior High Speech group placed 2nd overall!

Great work, everyone! Here is a picture of the team with their trophy. (You can see Jordan's head in the back row, just to the right of center, above the kid with the baseball cap on.)

A Wonderful - and very funny - Treat

A dear friend of ours surprised our family tonight by having a pizza and breadsticks delivered to our house. (Youth pastors and pizza - you can't go wrong there!) It was a super thoughtful and delightful treat.

The funniest thing happened when I got a call from Pizza Hut asking for directions to my bar. I said, "What? I don't have a bar."

She replied, "We have an order here and I thought they said it was for Rob's Bar."
