Well, Lynn missed her chance at her 15 minutes of fame yesterday. The Daily Press was supposed to have run the picture at right from last year’s Trunk-n-Treat in a special Halloween section of the paper yesterday. Lynn is Snow White surrounded by her seven dwarfs. Will King took the picture, submitted it to the paper and it was selected (probably front page above the fold). Unfortunately, Nosey Dwarf (far left) is our own LisaDeaderick, who in addition to being a member of our church, part of our Sunday night small group and all-around great gal is also a reporter for the Daily Press (hence “Nosey Dwarf”). For some silly reason, the paper saw this as a conflict of interest, and so the picture didn’t run. So Lynn will not be discovered and offered some big modeling job at Disney. Well, it would have probably just complicated our tax return anyway!
This picture is from last night’s Trunk-n-Treat. This year we were the Addams Family, complete with the theme song playing over and over for an hour and a half! Don’t we look “creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky?” Richard Pittman as "Lurch" was just too scary. It was also hard keeping Pugsley and Wednesday (Roger and Kati) from trying to kill each other, but then they do that when they aren't in costume! And this was the first time some of our folks have seen me in a suit and tie… and perhaps the last!For the uninitiated, Trunk-n-Treat is a community service project where we try to provide a safe Trick-or-Treat alternative. We dress up, turn our cars into candy-give-away stations for the neighborhood kids. It has been very popular among the kids and a lot of fun for the adults. This year, Betty Tanner gave away free hot dogs just in case some of the kids or parents wanted a “nutritious” alternative to high-fructose corn syrup. The weather was great and everyone seemed to have a good time.

The 2006 pic of Snow White and the seven dwarfs reminds me of how things can change in just one year's time. Three of the dwarfs no longer reside in VA but now live in TX. What's up with that?
What parent would not want his or her children to be around “good” children. I believe that is why church is so popular even among those who don’t have faith in “God”. They are willing to put up with a ‘fantasy’ so that their children will not be playing and learning ‘bad’ things from ‘bad’ people. Let’s face the reality that a Godly group is the best group to be with and even those who don’t believe in God see the value of associating and having their children associate with them and theirs.
