Nothing like some Daddy-Daughter time to make for a great evening.
Our plan was to head to Fairmount for the last night of Family Camp this evening, but a full-morning preaching in both services and an afternoon heat-wave kept us grounded here at home.
Some of the Daddy-Ella moments were captured here for your enjoyment:
We all knew it was only a matter of time before I was “sainted”!
I’ll be preaching in both morning services tomorrow. (9:15 and 10:45)
I’d appreciate your prayers!

At about 9:30 Wednesday night, Jess and I packed up the car and Ella and headed over to Bluffton. The next morning Dad Garrett and I headed to Cedar Point with people from his church including my buddy Derek Carpenter. In about 8-hours at Cedar Point we road 10 rollercoasters: Blue Streak, Corkscrew, Disaster Transport, Gemini, Iron Dragon, Magnum XL-200, Mantis, Mean Streak, Raptor, and Wicked Twister. Sadly, Top Thrill Dragster was closed when we arrived at the park for “maintenance” and by the time it opened, the line was several hours long. On another sad-note, our first coaster choice fo the day was the super-fun Millenium Force. Apparently due to new insurance regulations, Cedar Point has shortened the lap-belt length on this ride making it impossible for some of us unable to ride! We were asked to attempt to buckle up in a mock-seat before we got in line and three of us couldn’t get the belt locked around us! Each of us who couldn’t fit this year had ridden the ride in past years and were shocked at the shortened belt!
10 rollercoasters in one day made for a very exciting Cedar Point trip and we returned to Bluffton sometime after 1AM this morning. After enjoying lunch with Mom & Dad Garrett – Jess, Ella & I headed back home to Warsaw. I am continuing to work on my message for Sunday here in the office this evening, but wanted to pause for a few moments to update the loyal stevansheets.com readership as to the happenings in our lives!
Cedar Point pictures are here.
Finally, tonight – some pictures of Ella in Bluffton:
This one needs an introduction…
My freshman year in Carmin Hall, my roommate was Dan Szombathy – I knew him from our 6-weeks before our Senior Year in High School where we attended IWU’s “Summer Honors Program” – don’t ask how I got into that program – I have no idea!
Anyways, our bathroom light had a bit of a “problem” – I’m sure we called maintenance about it, but until they fixed it, we decided to use it to our benefit and shoot this little clip.
Larry Norman fits wonderfully as the soundtrack..
