EDIN Notes:
Today adventure features a trip to the Erie Canal locks located in
Lockport, NY, near Phil's sister home in nearby lockport, NY.
We visited the locks on a recent trip to the locks with Phil's mother,
Jo Ann and Phil. A historical perpective. In the early 1800 trade
between western NY and downstate NY was difficult, but that changed
in early 1800 when Gov. Dewitt Clinton proposed and built a canal
connecting Upstate NY to Hudson River ( and then down to new York City.
This canal vastly improved trade between upstate NY and downstate
New York City. As a result of canal being built a number of town
sprung up along the canal routes. One of such town was Lockport, NY.
In certain areas of the canal an elaborate systems of locks were
built to level the level of water throughout the canal.
Today's slideshow features Phil. Jo Ann and Phil's mother visit
to the Lockport Locks and travel down the canal in downton Lockport, NY

Hi everyone! I have some very exciting news to share. I am planning to serve on a short-term mission team to Mexico this summer with R U Red E? Ministries and Greece Assembly of God from July 20th – 26th. We will serve the local church in Reynosa, Mexico alongside Vamonos Community Ministries!

We serve the church in a number of ways: with a building project to benefit the entire community, Vacation Bible School for the children, Youth Rallies for the teens, prayer walks where we deliver food and pray for the needs of the sick and poor in their homes. We have also been asked to come prepared to share our testimony of our love for Jesus Christ.

I want to be obedient to Matt. 28:19,20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” So I’m in the FINAL stages of my preparations for this trip. I will leave from
Rochester International Airport at 6:10 AM this Sunday July 20, 2008 bound for Reynosa, Mexico. One REQUEST, you can be a part of my missions trip by agreeing

Today's Illustration - "Innocence"

A young girl of 4 was told she needed an X-ray after an accident. Her mother tried to calm her down, but she was still nervous when the time came for the X-Ray. When she came out of the X-ray room, however, she seemed relaxed and just fine. "They took a picture of my bones." she told her mother.
"Yes, dear," replied the mother. "Did everything go all right?"
"Yeah," said the girl. "It was great! I didn't even have to take my skin off, or anything!"

"The Congregation Replied"

Down in the south, there are many churches known as "answer back" churches. When the preacher says something, the congregation naturally replies.

One Sunday, a preacher was speaking on what it would take for the church to become better. He said "If this church is to become better, it must take up it's bed, and walk." The congregation said "Let it walk, Preacher, let it walk."

Encouraged by their response, he went further. "If this church is going to become better, it will have to throw aside it's hindrances and run!" The congregation replied, "Let it run, preacher, let it run!"

Now really into his message, he spoke stronger. "If this church really wants to become great, it will have to take up it's wings and fly!" "Let it fly, Preacher, let it fly!"the congregation shouts.

The Preacher gets louder. "If this church is going to fly, it will cost money!"
The congregation replied. "Let it walk, Preacher, let it walk."

Twenty-First Century Prayer

A 4-year-old girl was learning to say the Lord's Prayer.
She was reciting it all by herself without help from her mother.
She said, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail. Amen."

WHY MEN ARE HAPPIER...

Men Are Just Happier People--

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.

EDIN Notes
Friday night we went to see Nunsense, a play that ran off Broadway a few years ago
to much. It is a satirical look at the life of Nuns set in Hoboken NJ. We saw the play
put on in the small theater at Ironequoit High School by high school students. The
night we were there they played to a pack audience. From the beginning there was
much interaction between the actors and the audience ( ie the reason for having
the play in the smaller auditorium instead of large auditorium). The actors did
and excellent job in their respective roles and their was much comedy in humor
in their presentation and the audience ate it up. They had a basic set but it was
well used. Interesting to note that the Mother Superior Role was played by a man
instead of woman, but he did a good job in the role. There was also much singing
by actors and all did a good job. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and went away
smiling.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
NUNSENSE follows the musically hilarious misadventures of the Little Sisters of Hoboken at Mount Saint Helen's School in Hoboken, New Jersey. Originally founded as a missionary order, they started out running a leper colony on an island south of France. Forced to leave the island when they lost control to a group of Protestant competitors, they returned to Hoboken. They went unnoticed until one day their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, unwittingly served some tainted vichyssoise soup and 52 sisters died of botulism. Fortunately a few of the sisters were off playing bingo with some Maryknolls and so were spared. Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision -- it was either Saint Catherine of Siena or Saint Thomas Aquinas in drag (she's not sure) -- in which she was told to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials of the 52. The greeting cards were an enormous success and thinking there was plenty of money, Reverend other bought a VCR for the convent. When she realized there was only enough money left to bury 48, she decided to stage a talent show to raise the money to bury the last four sisters who were put on ice in the convent deep freeze. The fun is only just beginning when these crazy nuns take over!
