happenings

I haven't posted anything in almost a month! Shame on me...

I just wanted to write a quick few lines giving an update. So here goes...

Church - God is so good! Sunday after sunday, meeting after meeting, He shows Himself faithful to His bride. Hebrews is such an awesome book. As we're getting close to the end of the book, we're getting into the application that is so needed in our lives. We started into chapter 13 last sunday and already in four services we have covered so much and all of this contained in the first 6 vereses of the chapter. Brotherly love, love towards strangers, the persecuted church, honoring marriage, and contentment. Huge topics that are vital parts of our day to day walk with God.

Soccer - Coaching is going great! The girls are tons of fun. We still haven't won a game, but we did tie a game the previous weekend. I really enjoy this, even though it cuts into my week big time! Pictures, practices, games, etc... All that really matters is that the girls are having a fun time and that they are learning. I have seen major improvement in all the girls. I'm very proud of them!

Condo - I'm loving my new place! The couches that I ordered from Rooms-to-Go finally arrived about two weekends ago. I had a housewarming party this past Friday. It went from about 5:30 till about 10:30 with people coming and going. It wasn't a huge crowd, but I really enjoyed it. We had a great time and really good food provided by Tracey Martin and Brenda Mathews (I work for Bill Martin and Dan Mathews at Hanover Mtg). Thanks guys!

Life - This past Saturday night I got together with a small group of guy friends for an low key bachelor party. We were going to go to Bald Rock to hang out, talk, and camp out overnight to watch the sunrise in the morning. Except that it closes an hour after sunset and you're not allowed to be out there... We were there for about twenty minutes setting up, etc... and a park ranger shows up. "Sorry to be a party pooper, but you guys can't be out here. I'm going to have to fine you..." Yea, we weren't so happy about this because there were no signs anywhere that state the hours or that you can get ticketed. Apparently there have been many incidents of drug use out there late at night and they are trying to stop this. We packed up and headed to my place. At least we have a fun story to tell about this bachelor party.

Wedding - The bachelor party was for Tim Morris. A really good friend of mine that is marrying one of my other really good friends Laurie Porter. Their wedding is this coming weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. I'm carpooling up there with some friends to keep the cost down (mumble, mumble... gas prices). I can hardly wait, this is going to be a great weekend! I also get to see some of my fam. in IN. We're stopping in Thursday night at my Aunt's house in Mishawaka.
