We Got Pounded!
This last Sunday was Southside Baptist Church's 49th anniversary. For those that don't know yet, that is the new church family Preston is associate pastor of. We had a big potluck lunch afterwards where Pastor Ron had us stand up and receive a "Pounding"...however, not the pounding you may be thinking of. Our loving church family had donated and gathered "pounds" of food to stock our pantry with! We were astonished at the amount of food we were given!! They truly blessed us! It was one of the moments where we didn't even know how to express our gratitude. In today's current economical state, every little bit counts. I have enough sugar to get through the next couple years (depending on how much sweet tea and how many apple pies I make). The picture below only shows most of what we received. Much of the food is stacked and then we had people drop off more throughout the week. Thank you to all of our church family for watching out for us!

That's a good church you've got there. It sounds like you guys are settling in well and I'm so glad.
Hey, do Midwesterners even drink sweet tea??
Just make sure those potatoes don't get lost in the back of your pantry again. ;-)
I'm not exactly sure what Chip is talking about, but we had some very embarrassing potatoes in our house not too long ago... Anyway, the pounding looks awesome - we miss you guys!!
Thanks for the reminder Chip. In case some of you haven't heard this story...When Preston and i were first married we lived in a little apartment in Springfield and right before we moved out I was clearing out the pantry. Well...I found a bag of old nasty rotten potatoes that had actually started "juicing" all over everything around it. I knew potatoes can last a long time, butI found out they don't last quite that long. GROSS!!
Wow, that's great! My church did that for my sister and I when we moved out into an apartment for college. Every little bit helps :)!
