Castastic!!!

Well, I knew it was coming... I kind of expected it sooner, but wanted it later. We had Zach's first cast put on today. It was surreal almost. Watching as a big man, put a little cast on a 3 year old boy. I'm super proud as a dad, because he went 2 weeks with his arm broken without complaining. In fact the day that he broke it... in the moment he broke it... NOTHING! He cried a little, but man... the kid fell down about 8 steps. As a dad... I like the toughness! RAISING KIDS IS HARD!! Here's to all the parents of the world. Real American Heroes.

Frustrating, Amazing, and some other "...ing's"

So, we did a harvest festival today. I don't think anyone expected what happened. As far as I'm concerned... over 7000 people got to see "church" in a different light. Not sure if it will stick, or if it will make a huge difference, but I have a good feeling it will. So many cool comments I heard from people like: "I can't believe they're playing the Rolling Stones" and "I've never seen people like this".



It honestly was a very hard week leading up to this... frustrating with getting things together... people who were going to help backing out for different reasons... some good, others not so good. Packages getting lost, sleep getting lost, sanity getting lost... But I'd do it all over again. I must have met a couple hundred new people, and that's FUN!

I hope we do it again, and you (If you missed out) can come!

FireGOD

I LOVE FIRE! Yeah I said it! Fire is an amazing thing that God made to show us that He's the junk! For you over the age of 25... that's a good thing.

Anyways... have you ever had something that you just hold on to? Maybe someone did something to you? Or you did something that is contrary to the nature of God, and you feel like He could never forgive you for that, and so we hold on to it. It eats at us, and bothers us... BUT WHAT IF YOU COULD LET IT GO?

Ahhhh... but that's the real idea, and this is what God wants to do with it:



So, why are you still holding on? Let it go
