Bingley and Sleeping and Leading and Politics

Here's our boy Bingley and what he thinks is another Old English Sheepdog puppy (our cat Glacier).

Just wanted you to get another look at him.

Thanks for the collar and leash Gramdma and Grandpa!







I was looking today and saw the last time I posted was Saturday. It just doesn't feel like enough happens some days to interest anyone. Em and I have been so busy with Bingley we haven't had much time for new and exciting stuff. We are playing pinochle lately (which the in-laws will be proud of - no one table talks like your daughter!).

This coming week is thick with stuff. Wednesday we have a parent /youth meeting at church that should be "busy" and Thursday-Saturday our staff is going to the Willow Creek leadership confernce. That'll be fun! Leading is so difficult out in the "real" world. College affords such a different spin on things. Out here leading isn't near as easy and I find the most difficult thing is that in some cases you have to cause tension to relieve a situation. Weird.

Tuesday mornings me and several men from church do a prayer breakfast. A retired pastor comes and this morning was ribbing me for not knowing what voting district I am in! Crap. Since when did I become that uninformed. I pride myself on knowing the issues, the candidates, and their failings! I need to get on the ball. Florida is such a different animal than Montana or Iowa. Everyone make sure you know your stuff come October.

That's all for now!
