Whew!!! I'm watching Amy do her Jillian Michaels' DVD (that's right watching), and I'm getting more and more tired by the second! Not really... It's not that I mind working out (we'll go for a walk here in a few minutes). I'm just so uncoordinated that Amy can't pay attention if I do one of these videos with her. She laughs too much!
So in the few minutes I have before we go for a walk, I thought I'd let you know some things that are on my mind...
- I have always been TERRIBLE at video games, but I've dropped to new lows. I am without a doubt the world's worst "Super Mario Brothers" player... Just ask my girls!
- Our three oldest daughters start End of Grade Testing today. I think they're ready. They've all had good years in school. I know some don't like EOGs because it puts a lot of pressure on kids. I understand that to a degree, but I also know that life is about performing when it counts. Knock those things out, girls!
- I'm a firm believer that churches, like people, publicize what they prioritize. I know that some churches spend enormous amounts of energy building up things like homecoming, garage sales, spaghetti suppers, and other things. There's nothing wrong with those things per se, but when you are more excited about someone coming to your fellowship hall at 6:30 on Saturday morning to look over stuff that you no longer want than about life change, ministry, baptisms, and the gospel, you have a serious problem! That's why I can't wait to blow open the doors at First Sunday, June 6 @ 6 PM! It's gonna be an awesome evening!
- Sweet summertime... it's will be especially sweet @ G8way... Heir, BigStuf, Adventure Week, Camp G8way, Cruise, Fab 5... love it all!
- We took the girls out for ice cream to wish them well for their tests this week. While we were at Coldstone, we heard Coldplay's Viva la Vida. Since the 7th grade band played that at Norwayne a few weeks ago, I'll forever more associate Coldplay with middle school concert bands! Sorry, Chris Martin...
- "IT" concludes this Sunday morning @ G8way with 'How Can IT Change the World?' Can't wait!
Be good!
