An Archaeological Dig of My Bible

As I was studying this morning, I realized that I had a lot of crap in my Bible. So, I decided to a little archaeological dig to find out just what stuff I had in there.

Here’s an inventory:

Lighting plot (probably "Cheaper by the Dozen") c. 2008
Church Bulletin (Feb 27, 2011)
Ticket Master receipt for 4 tickets to unknown event
Handout for sermon I delivered at Westview Church c. 2005
Church message schedule c. 2009
Handmade Valentines card from Madison c. 2006
Post-it note from work with random scribble

(not pictured)

  • my business card
  • homemade “Planes of WWII” bookmark
  • 3×5 card with memory verses
  • Scrap of paper with encouraging verses written out
  • Father’s Day note left on my desk by Madison
  • “I love you daddy” on a post-it note from Taylor
  • Birthday note from Madison
  • A poem written by Taylor (around the age of ten):

    Bed Time Tales
    By: Taylor Vander Well

    At night I jump in bed.
    My daddy reads to me as I rest my head.

    Tales of a land in another day,
    are the stories that he tells as I drift away.

    Stories of creatures with special features.
    Slaying dragons and Bilbo Baggins.

    Now I fall asleep,
    and my dreams of this I keep.
    For tomorrow lies another day,
    of new adventures far away.

  1. I LOVE the CWenger Group post it note. I still have a jacket and shirt with that logo…ooh and a blanket. LOL! I miss everyone…especially miss talking to Chuck every day and delivering tickets to his house. He used to show me all the bird houses in the backyard…and we would talk for a while….very uplifting ALWAYS!!! How is everyone doing?

    1. Hey Vicki. It’s always good to hear from you. Ha! That’s hilarious that you still have some of our logo-wear. Those blankets are handy, aren’t they?

      Everyone is doing well, though we’re all much older than when you were ticketing our client trips back in the day. Chuck now spends most of his time in FL where he has a home, though he does have a place here in IA where most of his family still resides. When Scott and I took over the group, Scott actually bought and moved into Chuck’s old house (easier than moving the entire office). A few group members have moved on and we’ve added a few others.

      Stay in touch!
