This will be my last blog for a little bit. I am packing today to leave for Tegucigalpa, Honduras for a two week trip tommorrow. I will try and jump back on intermitently and say a few things, updates and such, but who knows.
Susan and I have had a great weekend together, I have been really struggling because I know I am going to really miss her and Hayden. I love them so much and even though we have been away from each other many times before, it is still just as hard as the first time. What is keeping me excited is that I know we are going to do awesome things for the Lord these next two weeks, and some of our kids are going to be forever changed.
Last night Susan and I got together with our good friends Jeremy and Beth Blair, and Scott and Jessica Schwieger. Jeremy and Beth go to PC and are in our LIFE group, but Scott and Jessica left UB after the split and went back to Spanish Fort. Susan and I love Scott and Jessica, they are awesome, sweet and so encouraging. They moved down here from Nashville three years ago and haven't exactly loved it. So we all knew when Scott's job was up they would propbably try and head elsewhere. They are going back to Nashville, and they told us last night they were headed back to Otter Creek. OK, let me just say I am so jealous, just kidding. For all of you Otter Creekers you may know them already, they are a beloved people and not to mention they have awesome hearts for God. And.....you didn't hear it here, but they are expecting. We are so proud! Keep an eye out for them!
I must also add our worship service today was really awesome, I was encouraged. It isn't perfect but we are totally getting somewhere. Even though I was a little nervous when the first thing one of our older guys asked was, "Hey, are we going to be buying songbooks or not?" My answer, not only no, but ..... NO, SEE I WAS NICE. Thanks be to God!
Well, I am outta here. Pray for us!

I do know the Schweigers and saw them this morning. Assumed they were just visiting. Glad they're back, but sorry you'll have to miss them. That's great news about them!
