April Fools

So anyone pull any good pranks ... or get pranked ... on Saturday?! Well, I was a victim of a good prank! My friend Jessica is almost 8 months pregnant .. due May 23rd ... and my friend Kim and I are counting down the days until we get the call. Well Saturday night, Kim calls and says, "JACKIE YOU HAVE TO GET HERE NOW!!!" I was like holy crap! Why?! What?! She says, "Jess is having her baby!! We are on the way to the hospital right now ... get over here." And then I hear Jess yell, "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" I was flipping out! I had just gotten home from watching the UCLA game at Patty's house, and I was like oh man are you kidding me?! I really don't want to drive to Bluffton, IN tonight! But I was going to! And just as I was about to run out the door, Kim and Jessica die laughing and yell APRIL FOOLS!

Of all the jokes to play on someone, that is just cruel!

I also heard of a good joke played on someone else ... unfortunately I was not the master mind behind this one. Anyway, this weekend was the Women's Great Banquet #37 (a spiritual weekend for women! lol) and at such an event, there is a service where a bunch of community members get together in prayer and fellowship for the Banquet members ... the Banquet members file up the stairs and enter into an unexpected time of fellowship with the community members (most of which none of the banquet members know) .. it's a fun time, and a great way to show God's love to complete strangers. Well on this particular weekend, we had some pretty crazy ALD's ... they got the Kitchen & Agape teams together and they all gathered in this area that is outside the sanctuary door (for those of you who know the church, it was by the elevator) and then Vicky Jones signaled to Greg Johnson (the man speaking up front) that they were lined up and ready to come in .. well VJ was way early and Greg wasn't ready for them yet .. so he signaled back "just a minute!" VJ made the expression something like "JUST A MINUTE?! THEY ARE STANDING OUT HERE!" By this time some community members had seen VJ and they started to pop up and start singing "Jesus, Jesus, Can I tell you how I feel ....." (the song we always sing at this event" And then VJ and the Kitchen & Agape teams pop out and yell APRIL FOOLS!

Now that is just brilliant! They didn't get just ONE person, they got an entire Banquet/Awakening community! I had to laugh when I heard about that one! Only VJ!

Well I hope no one got pranked too badly! Have a wonderful day!
