Great day at church yesterday! It is great to see people so excited to worship. It also looks like some of your youth group ideas are going to pan out which is good.

The one thing I didn't like was having to shut the blinds to see the video clip. It kind of puts a damper on a bright sunny day. We really need to start thinking about a bigger projector.

Once again I've let this go for a long time without blogging. Maybe life was going to good. We had a couple of great worship services the last few weeks and then tanked it last Sunday. The music wasn't very good and I think everyone would have been better off with a few more hours sleep.

At times like this it is easy to get discouraged but I try to look at the big picture and see what God is doing. It is amazing how He works in times like this. It is a good reminder that it is all about Him and not about how talented we think we are. I get frustrated, thinking we can do so much better, which we can. But it is a short jump from that mind set to thinking that when things are going great it is simply because of what we have done instead of what God has done.

People are starting to get excited about the mission trip. We are nearing the end of our fund raising activities and we have now set a date. That seems to make things more concrete. We have a big group but it should be fun!

I enjoyed the worship service yesterday. Denny did a great job tying in 9/11 and the story about the plane that crashed in his yard a few weeks ago. God is working and we need to wake up and be aware of what he is doing.

Lynn & Ked poured a cement pad for the new steps and ramp for the back door. It looks great.

I'm back. Once you stop blogging it is really hard to get started again. I keep saying I'll do it tomorrow. I haven't blogged in a long time because the soccer pre-season took up my time and whatever time was left I spent working on the church web site. I think I'm back to my normal routine now!
