| Do you ever feel like life is just too busy and you have more things on your “to do” list than hours in the day? Does it seem you never have enough time or energy to spend an unhurried, quality moment with your family? We probably have all been there but we don’t have to stay there. I recently read an insightful book that addresses these issues. It’s called, Ditch the Joneses Discover Your Family How to Thrive on less Than Two Incomes! The author is our very own Cathi Brese Doebler, a member of First Trinity and an alumni parent of our preschool. She shares creative, practical, common sense ideas to simplify and prioritize your life so you can happily live on less of the material stuff and enjoy more of what is really important; your relationships. She provides many obtainable alternatives, from shortening your work hours, to finding ways to make money at home so you can be a stay at home parent, to learning to live on less and to saying “no” to some of the outside activities that bombard our families time and energy.
We don’t have to follow the cultural trends that keep us striving for more. My hope is that as our children will grow up remembering the unhurried time we gave them to talk and share and play together. Cathi offers testimonies of real life people who have successfully chosen to step off the cultural treadmill that leaves us breathless, stressed and tired to lead a more balanced and family friendly life. I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with the challenges of raising a family.

Twelve members of the team arrived safely back in Buffalo yesterday afternoon to a big crowd of family, friends and news crews. What a joy it was to see them safe and sound.
Pastor Chuck, Dale and Pastor and Susan’s two children, Wisken and Lovelie slept at a hotel in Orlando last night and plan to get into the Buffalo airport at 1 this afternoon. Sounds like another party!! Praise God!

Tuesday and Wednesday are the only two days we will be open this week. We celebrate Columbus Day on Monday and the teachers are going to a convention on Thursday at Camp Pioneer. Remember on Tuesday there is a possibility that the Glenhurst side doors of the church will be locked due to an inside painting project. If those doors are blocked off you can enter through the double doors of the gymnasium or enter on the Niagara Falls Blvd. side.
