Bingley:

Bingley, our new Old English Sheepdog has arrived! We went down to pick him up yesterday and after a whiny, but uneventful drive back he's settled right into the house! Even the 2 cats tollerate him! He is the cutest little guy that ever was and is getting more and more comfortable here. He enjoys sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, and on occasion chasing after my head and hair. Emily is so pleased with him that today was in her words the best day of her life! I'm just glad I could make her childhood dream come true.

Thanks to all for praying for Emily and I. THe situation has abated somewhat in the past few days and everything seems semi-back to normal.

I should have some pictures of Bingley up soon!

B-day is fast approaching...

To most of you that makes no sense, but to my wife it makes tons of sense! B is for Bingley in this case, our new Old English Sheepdog puppy and on Friday we get to pick him up! We're super excited! Especially Emily; this is her childhood dream, to own and OES, so you can imagine that sleep comes to her rarely the last few days. We have sent out for shipments of supplies, picked up the crate, and have made numerous additions to our toy supply in the last few weeks to prepare for his arrival and I think we are almost ready. We'll just have to see if Bingley and Glacier and Taylor (our 2 cats) get along! Here's hoping!

Other than that, worship practice was awesome this week. I was feeling good about the actual set of music from the day we planned it, but during practice God took control and was definately in our midst. It's been awesome to see the group go from performance based to worship based in the last 16 months. God is so cool!

Please pray for Emily and I in the weeks to come. Can't share much, but we would appreciate it alot.

Grace and Peace

Just pray for me right now. A big meeting is going on tonight. I hope and pray that God is there and that the truth can be spoken in love. Wish I could share more.

Well - so much for the mission trip. It was awesome but apparently I caught pinkeye somewhere along the way. I've been at home 4 days straight and have another 2 at least to look forward to.

At least I don't think it's the uber-pinkeye that Emily had.

Pray for my health and for Em too.
