The Home Photo Challenge was fun for me last year. Since I do not think much is going to be changing for me in the way of travel this year, I am going to continue the challenge for myself into 2021. This year I am going to add a little twist. I will give a brief description of each photo I take and write a Haiku to go along with it.

We awoke to the fall of heavy snish . That’s snow mixed with rain mixed with slush.
One of this year’s blogging goals for me is to really focus on building community, and as Cee said, “This challenge both new and archived photos are allowed. The main purpose of this challenge is to create community and get to know each other through photography.”
Cee and I live at opposite ends of the country, but like her I live in a pretty small community. This is Central Street in my home town.
That green and white building in the background used to be my family’s restaurant. We sold it after my father died back in 1991. It has been empty for going on a decade now.
This is the house where I grew up and now live. We call it The Vicarage.
That is the steeple of my grandparents’ church…the first church where I youth pastored back in 1992-1995.
Jan. 8th- Today we took ‘Lella home and she got to meet her sister Abigail!
The Franklin family is once again reunited!!!
James was so excited to have ‘Lella home he met us half way down the stairs. What a great dad he is!
Jan. 9th- ‘Lella no sooner got home than the Vicarage got busy with ministry work. Saturday was a full day of answering e-mails and Facebooks and getting my powerpoint ready for Sunday morning sermon. I will be preaching a message entitled “Manifest the Mission”.
Jan. 10th- Preaching day. I had forgotten how preaching tuckers me out. It’s time for my Pentecostal nap.
Jan. 11th- Today I did a video on what it means to do life together with other people. Then I took my friend Grace to the bank, the grocery store and the pharmacy.
Jan. 12th- Today Wendy our church receptionist and I went to help Grace again. Today we were working through some stacks of old mail that were causing some consternation in Grace’s life. It’s not hard to do life together. Sometimes it just takes time and a couple of garbage bags.
Later in the afternoon I went to practice music with Patrick a member of our worship team.
Jan. 13th- It always amazes me how much ministry can dispell an otherwise quiet life. Needs arise and opportunities abound. It is never a question of what to do. More often it is a question of what not to do. Tonight I taught The Wall Prayer meeting. I used the passage from Ephesians Chapter 4: 1-15.
Jan. 14th- Music lessons today and worship theory. I began looking into Green Energy sources today. Had a conversation with a company called Energy something or other. They said our roof is not suitable for panels. I will get a second opinion, but something tells me they are probably right….Maybe we should look at wind power.

Yesterday was a very busy DLT day. If you don’t know what a DLT day is you can discover it by clicking HERE.
Our church has entered day 4 of it season of fasting and prayer. God has given us a very concrete direction for prayer. This week we are focusing on:
DAY 1- KNOWING JESUS AND MAKING HIM KNOWN
DAY 2- DOING LIFE TOGETHER
DAY 3- REACHING THE LOST
DAY 4- SENDING THE FOUND
DAY 5- DISCOVERING OUR GIFTS
DAY 6- CHANGING THE WORLD
Here is yesterday’s video post on Reaching the Lost.
What the Lord has shown us is that Reaching the lost in our community is going to be done through Doing Life Together with people who have not yet made a connection with Jesus. That is: breaking bread together, sharing Scripture with, praying with, and mutually meeting needs with folks who have not yet made a decision to trust Jesus Christ as God.
