| Gotta say that last night was a great one! Not like getting married or the birth of my children, but a pretty great one. Sunday was my birthday - 33 years old and getting better  . Anyway, my brother and his wife came down to have dinner with my family and my parents. Outback is always a nice way to celebrate. At Outback, Luke my son - whose birthday is next Sunday, and I were presented with a combined gift - a NINTENDO Wii. Wow! What a surprise. Luke kept saying over and over, "Dad, we're getting a Wii." "Dad, we're getting a Wii." etc, ect...So after leaving Outback I headed up to my soccer match - which my whole family attended. It was a tight match. The other team tied the game at 4 goals each with 4 minutes left in the game. With 40 seconds left I scored the winning goal off a corner kick. What a great way to turn 33. I finished the game with 2 goals, 1 assist, and a couple big defensive plays. It was nice to see our team do so well. I am really looking forward to the season. I think we can be competitive. I will keep you all informed because I know that it is the high light of your Tuesdays to hear how my soccer games go.  | | |
| Hey guys, I just wanted to fill everyone in. My uncle is doing much better. It does not appear that he had a stroke, but rather a seizure. That is not definite, but probable. Anyway, he no longer has a tube down his throat, nor is he sedated. He is talking and seems to be doing well. He is really tired from the seizure and the medication. So things just seem to be going slow. Please continue to pray that the doctors will know what is wrong. Pray for his family, that they will have courage and strength in Christ. Thanks so much | | |
| Hey Guys, I just got a call that my uncle dick went into the hospital again. they think he has had another stroke. please keep him in your prayers. i am heading up to the hospital now. | | |
| Fine, I get it. I suck at the whole keeping a xanga site. Fine. I do not need your approval to feel good. So there!! But if I offended you with those comments, please forgive me. I did not mean to upset you. Just don't be mad o.k.? I love you all, I really do. I do not know what I would do without you??!?!?!?!?  Anyway, Christmas is almost here and I cannot wait. Although I find the anticipation of Christmas to be one of my favorite things of the season - I also get a big kick out of giving to people. I am really excited about giving to my wife this year. I think I have found some things she is really going to enjoy. The other thing about Christmas, this year, is that God seems to continue to impress upon my heart how much STUFF I have and how much others don't. The question just keeps coming up - what are you going to do about it? It is terribly uncomfortable. I enjoy my white middle class, comfortable, suburban lifestyle that only challenges me when I go through hard times at work or some dies or something. The occurances are so few and far between. I think one of things that keeps running through my head is how God will not tempt us beyond what we can bear. Does that mean that if I can't remain faithful to my Lord in times of intense trial he will not send it to me? Is that why I have not been challenged to the extreme? Part of me feels some shame in that. Part of me wants to keep it that way, because I am not sure that I am ready for the challenge of my wife dying or my children as some friends have recently had to struggle through. I know they are hurting, but I am in awe of how faithful they have been to our Master.Loosing the money or the house or the cars - whatever. I love it all and hate it all - all at once. So I am grateful for the chance to celebrate the birth of the God-man who gave up everything for a time, so that we could join Him in everything forever. | | |
| I just want to let you all know that I am still alive and well. The last month has been a little busy and I must admit that if things get busy my xanga is the first thing to go out the door. Maybe I am not as addicted as I am supposed to be. I'll update you on some significant goings on in my life for the last couple of weeks. One big thing is that my youngest daughter turned 1. We had a great day celebrating her big day. We had a party with family. The big deal about the first birthday is that it is the first time that our kids get dairy products. So it has become the tradition for me to give the kids their first taste of ice cream. So when the moment came, the cake came out and the candle was blown out. Cake was passed out to all the family members and I gave Kya her first taste of ice cream. She turned up her nose and began to cry. She did not like ice cream. I am not sure she is my child. A week ago we had our last soccer game of the session. On that night we won our first game of the session. What a great time. We finally played like we could and should. Anyway, the sadness of all of it is that I did not get the information to sign our team up for this session. So we are out of soccer until February.  Finally, I took the youth group students to Mt. Fest our Fall retreat in Deep Creek. What a great time. I think it was the best retreat we have ever done there. I am very happy to have been a part of it. It was great to see the students all there. What a great weekend. | | |
