The Scare

We awoke to snow but not enough to stop us from going to church. David Obergfel started reading in 1st Kings then sat down. When he got up to say the prayer, told the church he was going to ask all of us to pray. He explained his eyes weren't letting him see the words. He got up after the prayer and read about Jesus going to Gethsemane and sweating drops of blood as He prayed, "Father if Thou be willing remove this cup from me, yet not my will but Thine be done." Then Dave preached a powerful sermon, sat down and started sweating profusely. Crystal saw what was happening and sent a text to Tim Funk to tell  him not to let Dave pray and to help him off the pulpit. As soon as Tim got Dave off Crystal joined him and helped him out of the sanctuary. They called for an ambulance which arrived pretty quickly. They determined that his blood sugar was extremely low and gave him a donut and a glass of milk then took him to the hospital. The entire church spent time in prayer for Dave and Kathy. Sure hope what ever happened is not serious and Dave will be well.
After church I stopped at Aldi to pick up groceries. We didn't have much left in the house as we were gone for the last week and today was the first time in town since we got back from the cruise. Play practice was held at the barn and that went great. Dinner was taken over to mom's house. The pictures below were taken just before and during the play practice. The grandchildren got to warm up the horses for the riders.

 Above and below is Israel riding Anna.

 Above is Taegan on Anna and below is Braelyn on Indy.

 Above Kensley is getting a ride on Anna while Braelyn rides Indy. Below Berlica is leading Kensley around on Anna. 

 Below the munchkins are following the yellow brick road. 

 Below the horses are meeting the Wizard for the first time. They thought the wizard was very scary. 

 Karin started having the riders come up to the wizard one at a time. Below Rebekah had Karin working with Indy.

 Below Anni is calming Ayanna as she meets the wizard.

 Sarah as the witch has melted in the picture below.

 The kids had a ball playing on the hay as the horses were untacked.

 It was a successful practice but we need to work on desensitizing the mares to the wizard. Karin and I made that yesterday so today was the first time all of the mares were introduced to it.
