Noah Love's Lucy

My son Noah has discovered "I Love Lucy". I never really loved the show but it always seemed to be on at any time of the day if you flipped the channels so I'm pretty sure I've seen about every episode. Watching them with my wife and children has brought re-birth to the show in my home due largely in part to Noah's outbursts of laughter and his genuine declarations of "dat is sooo funnnny..." while he slaps the couch or his knee, or his little brother...

Spring

Spring is here!!!!

Our New Office

Our new office is awesome. I thought I might miss the old place, but quite frankly I miss it like the flu bug I just kicked.

Pain In The Hip

So my doctor needed to pump me full of antibiotics over the weekend and she told my wife and I, "I'll need to give you a shot in the hip".
I've never called that area of my body, my "hip".

Sick

I've been sick...
Now I'm better.
Thanks for your prayers.
I need to live a healthier lifestyle.
The days of living on coffee, coke and whatever food that caught my eye are through.

Lotta Things Happening

I haven't blogged much lately and I have not just one good excuse, but several. The recurring theme in all of my excuses is how busy I am. Its a good kind of busy, but I'm getting to the point where I need to streamline some things.
So here is what is happening...
Family: Jasilyn is learning to read and I'm trying to spend a regular amount of time with her each night reading through "Hop On Pop". This has been some of the best times of my life and I've been guarding these moments from all of the other things that might try to keep me from accompanying my daughter as she journeys into new worlds. At the same time, Noah is learning to catch and throw a ball. Of course he has been throwing stuff since he was a baby, but now we're actually "playing catch" and these times are as magical and filled with destiny as the moments reading with Jasilyn. Jacob is growing at a faster pace than either of his siblings. Misty is back full swing in full dinner theater so I'm alone with the kids three nights out of the week while she practices.
Work: Our office is moving. I'm trying to set the pace as we move a little at a time before the "Big Move" on March 15th. We rented a U-haul twice and moved tons of stuff. Our old office is on the eleventh floor and moving stuff on the elevator has become precarious and tiresome. Our new office is shaping up nicely. Leaving behind what I affectionately call "the temple of nicotine" will be easier than I thought.
Ministry:I'm blessed to have several ministry projects going at the same time. Helping my pastor write a book. This is my dream! Preached in chapel at Jasilyn's school last week. Very cool! Teaching a class on Sunday nights with Joe. Trying some different teaching techniques and relying on the Spirit more than I ever have before.
So those are a few of the reasons I haven't blogged lately. I miss it...
