Random Thoughts

The past couple of weeks have been very good and exciting for me and my family. When I last blogged I was at JBC for my orientation and was not looking forward to going. Now that I went I am thankful because it was very helpful and I am looking forward to school.

When I got back we went to the beach and with my parents, Natalie's parents and her sister and her sister's husband. We had a good time but it is hard to have "family" time when there are all kinds of people around you all the time. Natalie and I are headed to passion in 2010 so hopefully we will get some time to ourselves without kids.

Natalie noticed a truck that said Swamp Donkey on it and I have been laughing about that ever since.

I love the ocean! There is something about beaches, sand and water that lets me see how awesome our Creator is. I spent a lot of time in prayer about many different things but there is something so peaceful about the ocean where you want to spend even more time with God.

Natalie and I did a date night while we were there and it was amazing. We went to a 3D movie and I had forgotten how incredible 3D is. Maybe I am to young but at one time didn't 3D try to get really popular with almost every movie?

Church was awesome yesterday. Our focus group had a great conversation on the Bible and why people don't spend time with God. We have been doing a series called "Wish List" and yesterday was, I wish my teenager would. I interviewed our preachers daughter and she gave good insights on what it was like as a teenager and what it was like in a Christian home.

Did you know the average American spends 2 minutes a week with God and watches 4 hours of TV a day.

Emma said Da Da while at the beach. It never gets old to hear your daughter call out our name.

I am debating which series to start at Edge this Wednesday night. Obsessed or Red Letters. While praying this week God shared with me that at Edge we should spend the entire semester talking about Jesus. Noting more than Jesus. All we need right?
