Thanksgiving Time

wow! It's been quite a week of reflecting on how awesome God is and how He unnecessarily give us a large portion of blessings.

The week started off last Saturday when some friends of ours, the Jones family came in for a visit. They are from Michigan and are our super best friends of ours. What a cool family, to drive 12 hours to visit us as their sole purpose of travel, on a holiday week at that. They were our first overnight guests to stay in our newly purchased home. They along with their two children stayed with us until just this morning when they took off to the great white north.

Sunday night was the office Christmas party for her place of employment (her dad's office). All employee's (and guests) went to a local dinner theater where we saw "Church Basement Ladies 2." It was a hoot! The show liner was actor Barry Williams (Greg Brady from the Brady Bunch). It was super funny, and actually our second time of seeing the show. It's now one of my favorites!

The rest of the week was spent working, spending time with the Jones' and of course... Thanksgiving. We gorged ourselves at Sandra's parents house until I almost burst open. Waay too much food. Oh! And I had a birthday, on Thanksgiving. Getting old, 30 years old that is! Luckily I don't feel older yet, just fatter. I'll start working on that again on Monday ;)

The rest of the weekend will be spent w/ my fam. in little ol' Caney, KS. What a great little town. It should be quite fun!

Updates soon...

So, it's been forever since I've updated. As soon as I finished my marathon in Detroit work took over. I'm almost finished with a book by John Piper and will post some thoughts about that. Deep book indeed. My favorite chapters were on worship and suffering of all things. I have about 40 pages left. Hopefully the next book gets here soon!
