Yup Still Living!
As I sit here watching Survivor I thought I'd update my blog. I haven't kept up with this lately. Lots of life happening lately. I'll try and update by category like Ken Depeal does. If anybody is still reading these anymore.
Overflow Church:
Overflow is eight weeks old. We have been averaging about 100 people on Sundays. Two Sundays ago Brian and I passed out $5.00 bills to everyone and invited them to be creative and bless others with them. Then e-mail the story back. Last Sunday we celebrated some pretty cool stories. This is why I signed on to Overflow. Why be bored and sit in a stuffy church when you can take some risks and change the world!
Housing Update:
Deb and I have found a house and will be making an offer this week. It's tons bigger than we ever envisioned and on a acre and a half of property. The house is in Benton Harbor about four bloocks from the hood. But you would never know it when you look out our windows to the quiet nieghborhood or the ravine with a pond out the back. It has two two stall garages. One of them has a second floor. I am dreaming of a photo studio. I'll post pictures when I take some.
We still haven't sold our house so I'll have to offer with a contingency. We've had ten showings in the three weeks it's been on the market. Most of the comments are good escept the road we live on.
Stephanies Graduation.
Steph graduates in three weeks. She can't wait to be done with the high school drama. She did get voted best personality in the senior mock elections. I think that was a real positive for her.
Mike is back home.
Mike arrived on our door step last week. Dam organized religion! Mike came home and told me he'd like to be a bartender. I asked why and he told me every one talks to their bartender and they are the ones he'd rather talk to. He is tired of talking to Christians that have it all figured out and try to change him into their box. I have a feeling he'll be more fruitful for the kingdom than any one of those other corporate cookie cutter dorks that just want to save their @#$%^^&. Okay enough from a pissed off dad. I'm glad I get to be a Christ follower without pay!
Anyways I have to work on the Love your nieghbor concept a little more. It's a journey......

Does that mean that Ken has a blog also or that is just the way Ken talks in general.
Seen you at the Rampage game a couple Fridays ago.
And yes someone is still reading, if I count.
Smiles!

It was so good to see you all the other night. It has just been way too long between visits. Now that I know about your site I check it almost every day, so it's about time!! We really will have to get together and spend some quality time since none of us seem to have quantity time anymore. Hugs to you both!
