Easter celebrations held across the state

I've been to some Sunrise Services. You sing hymnals & when it's all done there is fellowship afterwords. Sunrise Services is every Easter Sunday and it's from 5 AM-6 AM (Service time varies from different churches). People also enjoy munchkin donuts, coffee, and orange juice, etc.

The time that I was in Boy scouts 1988

I remember when boy scouts had Conservative values back in 1988 when I was in boy scouts.

I must have been 10 when I was in boy scouts when I attended Shiloh Christian Church (SCC) in Hartford on the West Hartford line. In boy scouts us boys were the following: Competitive, some of us were jealous of each other, some of us were like soldiers, and others showcased their leadership skills while in boy scouts. I remember learning about the different knots while in boy scouts.

I used to invite my friend Teyrence to cub scouts & Teyrence used to invite his friend Ian to cub scouts. My mom used to take me, Teyrence, and Ian to cub scouts every Wednesday night at church. I remember the different knots all of us cub scouts used to tie while we were at church (I was always good at tying the granny knot same as the square knot).

One night while attending a cub scout meeting, Brother Norman one of the greeters at (SCC) also in charge of the boy scouts ministry had threw a party for the boy scouts. US boys had come a very long way from the time we all first came to boy scouts and the party was a way to interact with each other. I remember bringing duplex sandwich cookies with creme in the middle to the party we had. For some reason when I have bought food like that to parties I always have a lot left over.

Anyway, Brother Norman noticed I had a whole lot of cookies left over and thought it would be a good idea to use my mom's cookies for snacks for after 3 1/2 hour Sunday church service at Shiloh Christian Church. I initially felt comfortable and I remember saying "Sure why not" and I had given my mom's cookies to Brother Norman because I thought that was a really good thing to do.  Teyrence reminded me that that was a wrong thing for Brother Norman to do. When I had given up the cookies my friend Teyrence 8 going on 9 said to me, "Don't give your mom's cookies away like that. Your mom bought these cookies and you have a whole lot of cookies left over. This man might be a church friend but he is trying to con you out of your mom's cookies by telling you that they would be for after church service on Sunday. This man could take these cookies home to his family and they would probably eat the cookies up or he would probably eat the cookies up. You probably wouldn't see this man in church again or if you saw him again he would probably have an excuse what happened to the cookies and you never know what really happened to the cookies because the cookies would be all gone." Teyrence made a whole lot of sense to what he was telling me. Sometimes kids need to have buddies to make sure that they are not being conned by other kids or in this case an adult. I remember coming up to Brother Norman and telling him that I don't think that it would be a good idea to give away my mom's cookies like that. You would never think that people would try to con people in church like that but the truth is people who are true con artists will con people even in church & from that experience that I had I learned that every one in church is not honest. I still trust people but you have to always be watchful. 

Philippians 4:6-7King James Version (KJV)

"6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
