Main Street Merry Time flies when you are having fun. We must be having so much fun because it seems like we put together a Christmas greeting letter just the other day. We ARE having fun. This year we have been up and down I-95 so much (14 times) that we know the menus at the Cracker Barrels better than the waitresses. There is still one more trip before the end of the year, so that will make 15. We have actually been home for 3 weeks now and we have managed to decorate the outside of the house with many lights. Here in the south we do not have the chilly weather to put us in the Christmas spirit so we decorate, decorate and decorate some more. This is our 2nd Christmas here and we are beginning to learn the customs. Last week we participated in the annual nighttime Hinesville Christmas parade. We had a float with puppets and about 14 clowns walking along the parade route. The puppets were singing Happy Birthday Jesus and we had lots of lights. We had a generator running the lights and sound system. The generator was a little noisy but our sound system managed to drown it out. The clowns were clown cars: each had flashlights attached to their feet, a Bethesda church license plate on the rear, a steering wheel of some sort (mostly hula hoops) and of course a horn. The clowns had a blast! We started a group of clowns this year. They are in training but they have done one show and one parade and they will be in the New Years Eve variety show at our church. We have done lots of conferences and conventions this year. There are two things that stand out in particular. In April we went to the World Clown Association Convention in Orlando Fl. The highlight of that convention and probably of our entire year was that we were in the clown parade that leads the Disney parade down Main Street USA, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World! Jim still talks about all the fun he had. He would love to do that again, well, yes both of us would.

Touch the World Ministries

In July we were given the privilege to help train a couple hundred teens going overseas on mission trips. That was mind boggling to realize that the Lord was using us to train these young people to use puppets to reach others for Him. They stayed at this camp in New York for over a week and then left directly to go the airport on their trips. Those people gave up over three weeks of their summer to do the Lord’s work. We are so blessed! We have been invited to come back again in 2002, this is an exciting part of our ministry to say the least! Here are some photos..........

The tent where we teach

As always, if the Lord brings us to your mind please stop and pray for us and we will certainly do the same for you. God Bless you, please let us hear from you.

We love you.
Jim and Bonnie.
