Touring Kansas City




We spent the weekend with John's parents who were visiting from Minnesota. We toured the popular Kansas City sites including Hallmark/Crown Center, Liberty Memorial (the official WWI US Memorial), and the Loose Rose Garden. These pictures were all taken at the Rose Garden. Sophie was smelling the roses until we noticed many bees in the bushes with her. The kids enjoyed posing with the statue, Sophie joined right in. The group shot has Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen in the center. The garden must be spectacular in mid-summer. We also attended a class picnic on Saturday in the rain that felt like Minnesota. Half the class showed up, they must be insane. Wait a minute, we were one of them that showed up, we never like to miss a party.

Our hearts continue to be enlightened and enriched as we go the Intro to Ihop program. It's good meat and potatoes teaching, if you know what I mean. As a Mother it's my desire to my children's lives filled with truth and changed because of it. I can see the fruits of this in the short time we've been here. I can see the Holy Spirit working in each of our lives filling us with life-giving truth. Anyone can see the Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday services on-line for free. I would encourage this is you are curious about the teaching we are receiving. Go to www.ihop.org, click on media, click on Free Webcasts, click on your choice of the Encountering God Services or Forerunner Church Service. These are live so take note of the times you wish to watch. Mike Bickle is teaching on Song of Solomon on Friday nights and "Sign of the Times" Saturday nights. Soon he'll start a series on Heaven.
