Catching up

A few people at church asked me to provide an update on what's going on.

  • As you can tell from the pictures on the last post, we had a great time in Nashville!
  • It was good to see Tyler and Rachel. They are very busy with Tyler starting his new program for future education leaders, never did find out the exact name. This invitation only program will allow him to go into administration, without having his Doctorate.
  • They still find time to enter, and win, a big BBQ cooking contest last weekend. 1st in Sauce, 3rd in ribs and shoulders. Tyler was very excited since this was the largest competition with 15 teams entered. Their team name is Big Mouth Smokers. you can see pics on FB.
  • Think the next time they come up I might get him to cook for our CONNECT group, will draw a big crowd for sure!
  • Brandon has moved to Kansas to be with his fiance Julie. They went to a church yesterday that Julie picked. It was small and very different, they were swarmed by the people when they arrived and had to sit through a 2 hour sermon that was very repetitive. Brandon made it clear that next week, he is picking the church!
  • Brandon also called last week and asked to think about getting my ministers license and officiating their wedding!!! I felt very honored and humbled they would think of me. Angela thought it was funny. Stay tuned to see how this works out. I would do it, but want to talk to Pastor Dear and get his advice.
  • Corey started deer hunting Saturday AM. It is bow season, but so far has not seen any bucks. He is still looking for a job, but is leaning to going back and get his Masters degree in some type of occupational or speech therapy type of area.
  • Angela out did herself yesterday when we had 2 couples over after church for lunch. Great meal and two super desserts. We had such a good time, the couples didn't leave until after 5, and didn't finish cleaning up till after 6 PM. Hated to miss church but time just flew by and we had been trying to meet with these couples for a long time.
  • Things for me are going great, traveling to Canada next week for a few days. Work is work, thankful for my job.
  • Started a new CONNECT group yesterday on Spiritual Discernment. As I study it is reminding me that if cannot spiritually discern right from wrong, we begin to backslide in our faith. If we are not maturing in our faith, it only makes sense that we moving backwards. There is no standing still. I am looking for to the next 12 weeks, not too late to join us any Sunday 9:30 AM.
  • CONNECT Group was almost full, not sure if it was due to the teacher or the fact Angela made the breakfast. Our class motto, "The teaching may be mediocre, but the snacks are great!" came true again, I guess next week will be the test.
  • That's all for now, better get back to work, 1st meeting not until 11:00 AM.

Pressing On!
