This morning from 8 until a little after 11, I was going through 4 huge storage trunks full of magic tricks. These four trunks were owned by Brother Bill Larned – a man that attended Warsaw Wesleyan Church and a man that I had the joy of getting to know in my first two years here at WWC until he passed away.
Mr. Larned was a minister in the Salvation Army and part of his ministry was Gospel Magic.
While he was still living, we would talk about his “magic days” and he would tell me how he wanted to go through his magic again and give me whatever I would find use for. I never got that chance while he was living.
His daughter, Judy and her husband Paul still attend our church and today Paul and I went through those four trunks. It was amazing.
I saw tricks today that I’ve never seen in my life. I also saw tricks that I had seen dozens of times. I was able to salvage an entire trunk-full of magic that I will now add to MY collection of tricks!
What an amazing gift!
Today here at church the wallpaper has started going up! The foyer looks absolutely amazing with the new wallpaper and the oak. I can’t wait to see it completely finished!
Bible study tonight at Helfrich’s. Looking forward to that.
Blood donation tomorrow. Hurray for me!
