Back From Vacation...

Good week last week - had a chance to break away for a few days with the family and enjoy the boys' Spring Break! Got back late Friday PM and headed into a GREAT WEEKEND!

Sunday was the last day of our GENERAL SKILLS Series (Max Lucado/Every Day Deserves A Chance) and we Celebrated Communion and Celebrated Baptism! Baptism was AWESOME - we baptized 17 people, and one little girl asked Christ into her heart that afternoon as well! GOD IS GOOD!!

Cool news on the horizon - my folks are moving to AZ (Maricopa) this coming July! Dad officially retires at the end of April - they're heading to the Philippines to see Melanie, Lance and kiddos (my sister) for 3 weeks - hit back stateside for our Family Reunion in mid-June (Arizona) and they move out here shortly after that! GREAT TIME TO MOVE TO AZ - JULY!!!!!! We are very excited to have them here and looking forward to Nana & Papa being right around the corner! Kiddos are doing well - Charis is Patty-Caking / Waving Bye / Clapping Hands and get this...SAYING "DA-DA-DA" - Love it! Isaac is REALLY ready to start SWIMMING - it's definitely warming up here - I'd say we're about 1 month away!Caleb is doing well - looks like he'll be in Summer School for a few weeks to help bridge the gap of No School! Here come the "Short Bus" again!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT...


HOW NOT TO BE A FOOL...
The lure of TEMPTATION is strong, not always seen right away! If we could only see the END before the BEGINNING…Right? When temptation grabs you, it does damage to your life! The scarier thing is it reveals your IDENTITY ~ that being that we are NOTHING without Christ! The bigger question for us today is…WHERE ARE YOU GOING? Are you going to continue walking that way, that road, that avenue for the rest of your life? The longer you do, the deeper down you’ll go! Or…Will you live your life God’s Way? It’s time to learn HOW NOT TO BE A FOOL!

Starting our new series this week! Pastor Mat (GIVE/GO Pastor) is kicking the series off this week, and Pastor Duncan (GROW Pastor) is doing week #2! I got a few weeks off and then I'll close the Series!! THEN EASTER 2009!!!
