Our church has a motto:
"Loving God, Loving People
Turning the World Upside Down"

So to love our neighbors, we did free face painting at the Spotsylvania Film Festival. I say "we" but I had little to nothing to do with it, other than birth one of the artists! AJ and Julie painted the faces, arms and sometimes feet of nearly 200 kids! They took requests and painted what ever the child wanted. I had planned on helping paint, but when I saw what these two talented ladies could do, I knew any poor kid that stuck in my line would be sorely dissapointed. They loved it so much that even when the sun went down and the movie started, they wouldn't leave. We finally had to stop allowing kids in line and turn our truck around so the gals could paint in the light from the headlights! They painted non-stop from 6:00 till 10:00 p.m. They were awesome and the kids loved it!
