The Tattered Hat

Well I just got back from the canoe trip on the Flambeau river with the youth group. We do this trip through Camp Forest Springs. I have been praying that God would use this trip in a mighty way and I believe He did. Our guides were Luke & Maria and they have awesome hearts for God and they were tools in God's hands. They poured into our youth and loved on them. I beleive that God challenged us all on this trip and we all were streched. I'm so glad that God match us together. This was a great time to un-plug from our normal schedules and just hangout with God and each other. My pray now is that we would not just return to our normal schedules but that we will continue to live out what God challenged us with on this trip.

I would say that planning trips is my least favorite part of my job. Going on trips is one of the bests. For whatever reason people have trouble getting in all there stuff on time and making a commitment. People now a days seem to have no problem breaking the commitment and trying to make it my fault and having me (youth mistry/church) take on the finical loss.

I wish this would change.

I'm lacking focus....my mind is all over the place. I think part of it is looking forward to the canoe trip. I need to get the devos done. Lord please help me to focus and commuinicate the message you have for us.

I'm a data pack rat!....I have so many files and hard drives going on. Computer's are great but it creates lots of data. I don't have the time to go through it all so I'm trying to burn DVD's of data and clear off my hard drives....and that takes time too.

Well this last weekend I celebrated my 6th wedding anniversery. It was good times getting away and hanging out with my wife. I always thought that old saying "I love her more today than when we got married" was dumb and impossible. Now that I have 6 years under my belt I think that its true. Don't get me wrong...not everything is prefect...we fight..get on each others nerves and don't like each other at times. But I do love her more today than when we started!

pg

Well its been a unique week. We had are 6th-8th jr high program this week (Esc Mini). Lots of physical activity. But as I'm still a gimp it was hard not to be highly involved in the activities. But it was a great 3 days. The youth seem to have fun and the gospel was shared. Now I'm praying that God's message of redemption will take root and grow.

pg

So my arm has been improving each day. Last night I trip and fell and landed on it...So now it is a pain again! I'm pretty sure I'm a bone head...and I don't walk much.

Well just got a call from our agent about the offer we put on the repo house. The bank accepted another offer. The offer they accepted was for more then the asking price. So God is telling us a no for this house right now. So we are dis-appointed.....but I'm sure there is something better out there and we need to rely on God even though we are sad about not getting this house.

pg

My arm is still not right but it has been getting better each day. As long as I keep babying it and don't do anything dumb I think it will be better in time for the Canoe trip! Praise God.
