It's been 21 days since my last post...over the life of this blog I've taken some hiatus's, but not this long. Been a little busy with family...here's a few random thoughts:
-Ellie continues to amaze us with her little life. Her transition has been good...every day she picks up a little more English and her personality just keeps on blossoming.
-Bryan is about four weeks into his freshman year at Madison Central...he's still rocking on the drums (more video to come!) and turning into a very mature young man, that's hard to believe! (Not the mature part...the young man part)
-Holly is preparing to go back to work after being off since Aug. 7th. Don't think she's ready to go back. Holly is such an incredible mom to Bryan and Ellie...I learn so much from her.
-We started/revamped a new ministry within our church. It's our Mosaic Ministry (18-29 year olds)...I'm teaching every Sunday morning and I'm loving every bit of it. I've missed teaching on a regular basis, that's one part of youth ministry that I have really missed. I'm glad that I miss it...I think that's a part of how God wired me and I'm glad that I long for it.
-I love our church because they are like family. I love the people I work with every day...I even struggle to call it work because I love what I do. God is doing some great things at First Baptist...are we a perfect church? Nope, not by a long shot! But we continue to see people confess Jesus as Lord and walk through the waters of baptism.
-I'm getting ready to take some "Time Off" for awhile...I'll blog about this later, but I'll tell you this, I am very stoked!
-Cardinal Football is off and running 1-1 so far. The loss to UK was tough, but what a game! I'm thinking the Cards could be in contention once again in a year or two...even with Kragthorpe!
To sum it all up...
God has been so good and faithful to me. He's been teaching and stretching me more than ever, not sure what He is preparing me for, but I'm excited.

你好！
It's good to read this. Being able to know how things are going for you and your family is great!
I'm glad you are loving all that God is doing in your family, including First Baptist.
I'm starting to long for mission opportunities here - and boy are they available! But I'm going to be praying for the mosaic class - that God will bring about some passionate followers in the lives of the college students. I know they are there - and that class will be a great way for them to grow and get back on the right track - focused on Christ.
Lookin' forward to the next update
再见！
