Ben can officially officiate!

Ben was ordained last night at FBC Clinton and it was a moving ceremony. Ben's parents played a wonderful medley of hymns, Pappy offered a special prayer for Ben, and the service concluded with all of the ordained men laying hands on Ben. It was especially nice to have Pappy and Butch as a part of this.
We want to thank those of you who traveled to attend the ordination. It was great to have Grandmother and Pappy, Butch and Judy, Meemaw, Mike and Clarissa Davis, Jeff, Carley, and Mr. Parrot, Rebekah Olander, Viola and Naomi, Ben's former Sunday School students, and our friends from New Home Baptist Church as guests. I hope that everyone enjoyed the service.
After the ordination, Ben's parents hosted a dinner at their home for family. It was really a wonderful time of fellowship and we are so thankful to them for opening their home and hosting this meal to celebrate the occasion.
Because our digital camera went *kaput* last night, I only have one picture, but Butch took several and has agreed to email them to us. So, I will post those when I get them.
The only dark spot was when Putty relieved himself in Meemaw's suitcase. I guess it was retaliation for being locked out of the festivites.

Laura, his shenanigans didn't stop there...we went back over to the house today and discovered that he had done the deed on the sofa!! Ben is worried that he is going to be banished to the sunporch.

I can't believe that puddy is still in good favor with mom. I bet she's the only one cleaning that mess. Puddy, if you are reading this, that is SICK.
