Friendship
Dinner with the Simpsons
We went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight with Brooke and Darrin to watch the Hawkeyes take on the Cyclowns in basketball. I love spending time with them cause they are such a great couple. We really enjoy their company and look forward to more times like this.
Dinner with students
I had the pleasure of going out to dinner with a couple of students tonight. Nick and Rudi are sophomores involved in the H.S. Ministry and are a couple of great kids. Our conversation ranged all over, and I had a great time. I have to admit that they have a way of edifying me, [...]
Giving Tree
We spent the night wrapping presents for the family our small group adopted this year. I did not know Chas was such a great wrapper! I really hope the family enjoys what we got them. We had a fun time wrapping presents and being in fellowship.
Fellowship on the 1st
We went to Arby’s to have lunch with the young adults. It was a great time, and it was great catching up with friends we haven’t been able to spend time with in a while. We got to eat with Meghan and Jeff Miller (as Janie puts it – “they are so stinkin’ sweet”) and [...]
Guy’s Night Out
There is something to be said about going out with friends. It has a way of refreshing you. Several of the guys got together tonight and we went out for dinner and fun. It was awesome.
There and back again (or a Glimpse of Heaven)
On Saturday we returned from our mission trip to Tijuana, and I am still very tired from the trip. It was an awesome, amazing, tiring, draining, uplifiting…you get the idea. Words are not enough to express what God did in Mexico. He gave us a glimpse into what Heaven might be like, and we fully [...]
Children of God
Last night the we met up with the Barkers, Simpsons, Jordan and Bethany for dinner. We played some trivia – I won by the slimmest of margins against Jake – and had a great time. We went out afterwards but Nicole had to go home to rest since she is working this weekend. We ended [...]
Happy Birthday Chas
Tonight we went over to Chas’ mother’s house to celebrate his 30th birthday party. We has some really good grilled potatoes, chicken kabobs, fruit kabobs, and a Blizzard cake!! More importantly, we got to spend time with dear friends. We are looking forward to our small group getting back together after our break. Something has [...]
I Am Legend
Last night Nicole and I went over to Neil and Amy’s to watch I Am Legend. Jake, Trudy and Darrin were there as well. It was a fun night. We headed over there after Summer Catalyst. I really enjoyed spending time with good friends and just living life. We talked, we ate (some had pizza, [...]
Mexico 2008
In about a month and a half, I’ll be in Mexico building a home for a family that I don’t even know yet, but I dearly love. I am so looking forward to going and being part of something so fulfilling. The only drawback is that my dear wife is not able to go, so [...]
