As you have probably figured out by this point we are expecting a baby in November and to that end we have been rearranging some stuff to make our extra room ready to be a nursery. We did most of the work about two weeks ago but in order to finish the room we needed to move Mary's filing drawer out and into my office. To accomplish that task I needed to clean and rearrange the office so there would be room for this new item. As I type this I am sitting in said office, and right now it is about 80% finished and I am wore out. The filing drawer is now in here so I feel that this was a good time to stop and rest, frankly I am beginning to find that I am not quite as young as I used to be, strange.
Truth be told I made this change a little more difficult than it needed to be, I could have simply moved a couple items to the side and would have had plenty of room for the drawer. Instead I decided that as long as I was needing to change things around I would do it a little more drastically and, in addition, I decided to get rid of some things and to simplify in other areas. It is a little sad how much stuff I have and I don't even need half of it.
I realize that it has been a little bit since I last wrote a blog so I did want to do a little housekeeping and bring you up to speed with what has happened since my last blog [which by the way is now my most read blog, which I am quite happy about, it was a topic that I really wanted to address and one which the church really needs to wake up about].
The day after I wrote that blog I had really good news and really bad news. On the bad side of things I got a call from my bank about some charges that occurred in Southfield, MI which we did not make. If you happen to run into someone in Southfield [which I have never been to] who is bragging about getting one over on some guy in Anderson do me a favor and kick them for me, then tell them the are forgiven. On the good side of things we found out that we are having a boy [I wouldn't have cared if it had been a girl, but still good news none-the-less]. And to boot he has ten fingers and ten toes so everything looks good.
Then the next week Mary went to Denver for the Church of God International Youth Convention for work, on the way back her flight got delayed by five hours because of some storms in Texas, this meant that we didn't get home til 3:30am and were too tired for church the next day, so I called and told them we couldn't make it, which meant we lost a paycheck, adding to those charges in Southfield things have been a lot tighter than they needed to be, oh well, at least I have bills to complain about, it means we have a home and cars and clothes and food and a lot of other things we don't really need. So, really I have no right to complain about it, but it still stings.
As far as church goes I started a new sermon series on the Psalms called 'The Heart's Cry" each week I am looking at a different Psalm and seeing what they says into our lives today. David and the other psalmists may have lived thousands of years ago but the desires of their hearts are still the same as our hearts desires, stability, love, strength, hope, etc.
In other 'church' related things I performed my first wedding this past Friday for a former co-worker. I was told by multiple people that I did well, so I assume that I did, or they were all lying to me, which isn't out of the question, but I'm still going to assume I did a good job. It was an extreme honor to be allowed to play a role in such a life-changing moment.
I suppose that brings us up to date, I have to get ready for work soon so I suppose that I'll end here.
Peace and Love,
Pastor K
