Week in Review...

I thought I would give a quick week in review, snapshots of some of the cool things that happened this week. These are in no specific order...hope you enjoy!

#1. My little queen bee, Emily, beginning the early stages of potty training. She hasn't actually made it to the toilet yet, but it is the cutest thing to watch her pulling at her diaper and yelling pottie...I am so thankful for my wife, she is an incredible mom! As a supportive husband I am just stepping aside and allowing my wife to take the lead on this one...what can say, I'm just that nice of a guy...

#2. The calls and emails of support that we received from the amazing people who make up Summit Church this week after a hard announcement that we had to share with them last weekend. It was yet another powerful reason why I feel so blessed to be a small part of this incredible ministry and wonderful body of people.

#3. Staying up late every night this week with my wife and watching the Olympics. It was a lot fun, but in some ways we are glad that it is over because we are quite tired.

#4. Today it was absolutely awesome to see all of our college students back and ready to take their campus for Christ. I am so excited to see what God does in and through the lives of our college students this year. I believe that this year will be one of the most effective years for our college ministry. I would ask you to join us in prayer for that.

#5. Tonight our high school ministry Crave had a scavenger hunt and I guess one of the high point items on their list was tee-peeing our home. Now I know what you're thinking how did this make the list? It's simple, it was yet another reason why I am thankful God called me out of youth ministry and the other reason is I can't wait to see the look on Bill's face tomorrow when I tell him he's fired...just kidding. Actually Bill is doing a great job leading our middle and high school ministry.

#6. My wife and I joined our good friends John and Kelly for dinner on Thursday night and we went to the new restaurant in Coconut Point Mall, Stir Fry. I am telling you it was awesome! It just might be better than PF Chang's and I love PF Chang's. The food is definitely not Hallelujah Diet friendly but it was worth the cheat. If you get a chance, give it a try. It just may make your tongue slap your brain, it's that good!

#7. Wednesday night was our last group meeting with our group. They will actually continue to meet, but Pam and I will be starting a new group in a few weeks. It was awesome to listen to the God stories and the things that God has taught us through our time together. Pam and I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to share life with such great couples. We will definitely cherish the memories and the friendships that we have formed!
