Hey Crown Alums,
Is anyone way psyched about Christmas. I am. This has been the first year that my wife and I really started to decorate around the house. We bought an 8 ft real tree. It is awesome. My side of the family comes over to our house this weekend to celebrate. It is cool to be hosting a family get together. Chris, we have got to get together sometime. Every time I see the Timberwolvies play I want to go to a BW3's or Old Chi Town's and watch the game with you. Seriously you should move to the twin cities. If you ever need a friend to accompany you to a Gopher game, I am that friend. (And so much more!)
So let me update you all about my life as a parent. It seriously is the most rewarding aspect to my life. Seeing my little girls growing up and learning new things never fails to bring a joyful smile to my face. Never. They have mastered walking and are learning how to communicate through so many different ways. Everyday they can do something new. It is particularly fun to see them mimic me. If I cough they fake cough. If I wrinkle my nose them give me the cutest wrinkled nose back. They constantly want my attention and although that can get tiresome, the truth is it makes me feel like the king of the world. (Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you... Titanic flashback) Life is clearly not a bead of roses, but it sure is a blessing to live with such a wonderful family.
Church life is going good. We are in the midst of building a half-gym addition. This will not only be great for our size constraints, but it will allow me to showcase my immense basketball ability. This alone will probably bring a few hundred people to our church. This fat man can play! We also have a pretty crazy possibility of a church merging with us. This is only a slight possibility, but if it happened it would double our church size. That would be sweet. So things are going good. A book that I have recommended before and do so again would be Pursuit of God, by Tozer. I am reading it again for ordination and it challenges me so much. It is one of my all time favorites and if you have not read it in a while or ever pick one up. They are inexpensive and it is short, but it is cool water to a thirsty soul.
