It&#8217;s a chance to relax, to enjoy ourselves, to be a family.  It&#8217;s incredibly hard to schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Dad rotates with three other men to do weekly Bible studies at the juvenile detention center.  So, once a month, he has to be somewhere by three.  Once every other month, he leads a service at a retirement community in town&#8211;that&#8217;s at two.  Joshua and John are both late ushers&#8211;responsible for closing the church after the services.  They are scheduled approximately every other week and generally stay from 1:10-1:30.  Every three months, the youth do a service at a female detention facility outside of town.  That&#8217;s not until 4, but it&#8217;s about an hour drive.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s just the normally scheduled stuff.  This month, we have even more of a predicament.  Last week Dad had the service at the retirement community.  This week is &#8220;Youth Sunday&#8221; with a cookout at the church afterward.  Next week, Anna will be doing OB\/GYN rotations in Columbus.  Then I&#8217;ll be gone in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>So, we had our Sunday lunch this evening&#8211;and still ended up missing someone.  Danny&#8217;s girlfriend Debbie was playing her cello tonight for a wedding reception&#8211;but since she had knee surgery on Tuesday, she is unable to drive or to carry her cello.  Daniel was, therefore, needed to chauffeur her and carry her cello. <\/p>\n<p>The rest of us hopped into the &#8220;Herburban&#8221; (an amalgamation of &#8220;Herbie Husker&#8221; and &#8220;Suburban&#8221;) and made our way to Imperial Palace, where I took pictures according to tradition.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"images\/20080712-1.jpg\" alt=\"picture of family\" \/><br \/>\nFrom left to right: Anna, Joshua, Dad, Gracie, Mom, Tim, Casandra, John. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My family goes out to eat after church once a month.
