Sorry all. I took a break from blogging for a week. I have been tired and busy. My dad came over to my house for a few hours and it was nice to reconnect with him. I haven't really seen him in two years although we talk on the phone. I was dog tired when he left because my dad is as deaf as a bat is blind. So I spent four hours basically yelling at him so he could hear me. Although it was kind of theraputic, LOL. All those years he yelled at me, I was able to give it back, but without the punishment that followed. :)
We finally had a b-day party for Anna who turned two. We weren't able to do it on her exact date because it falls just before the end of tax season. Anyone married to an accountant can attest to the stress involved in dealing with tax-season. So anyway a bunch of family came over and we had a great day of fun. I love the look on my daughters faces when they get gifts or see something they are excited about. It makes me feel good to see them happy.
And then a couple in my church invited our family over for dinner last night. It was awesome. Shrimp and steak on the barbie. We had a really good time. Although I think they were probably glad once we left because our kids were terrorizing one of their dogs. But she kept coming back for more. ;)
Our Sunday service went great too. I'm doing a series on what love really is and I talked about patience as the first key ingredient to it. I think I hit a nerve with every single person in the church. They all walked out saying, "Man, that is right where I am at." That's a good feeling to know I connected. Then I prayed for them that they might develop patience and warned them that they were going to be tested this week and can't wait to hear all their stories next week.
And we start our host home groups this week. I showed a video promo for the series I am teaching called, Making the Most of Your Marriage, building a relationship that will last a lifetime. Everyone was pumped about it and I think we may be overflowing with couples who want to go to this. That is ok. I really am looking forward to it.
