Lettuce Pray

Q: What did the carrot say to the radish in church?
A: Lettuce Pray

Isn't that a joke the parson-ip should tell? ha ha ha, too corny huh? I'm just full of beans! Ha ha ha! peas! peas! make him stop! OK enough of the veggie tales. I have more newsworthy stuff concerning the Estonia VIM team from Bartlesville, Okra-homa. Oops!

At the last Estonia VIM team meeting our team leader informed us that, at the airport, just prior to our departure, we would draw names for secret prayer partners. We are to pray for our secret partner during the trip and surprise them with little gifts throughout the duration of our trip. I FREAKED OUT! What do you get someone when the nearest WalMart is 4000 miles away? That evening I asked my wife, Paula Mac, what I could do for my secret prayer partner. When I informed her I didn't yet know who my prayer partner would be she asked why. "Wouldn't it make more sense to know in advance who your prayer partner is so that you can choose appropriate gifts?" Sunday at church I mentioned this to the team lead. He said "good idea, you're in charge." I went back to Paula Mac and said, "good idea, you're in charge." To make a short story long, she put all the names in a hat... OK they weren't in a hat they were folded in a pile on her lap...and drew names. She put each name on a separate sheet of paper and I delivered them to the Director of Children's Ministry, a fellow team member, who agreed to distribute them this week while I am in Louisiana with my daughter. I received my secret prayer partner. He is....uh....she is........SHHHH... it's a secret. The team will certainly need your, and each others, prayers so.................Lettuce Pray!
