Jay and the Dog!


Well, we haven't posted anything in awhile, so I thought I would update you on some things. This is Jay and someone else's dog. The staff were getting their pictures done at this lady's house and this was one of them...I thought it was cute, so I'm putting it on here. I know it's not Andrew, but it's the next best thing! :) We are doing well. Andrew is still not walking! I'm doing the motherly thing and worrying about it constantly, but he'll do it when he's ready. He walks around the house holding onto the walls and furniture, so I know he can do it, he just isn't ready to let go. However, he did feed himself mashed potatoes with a spoon the other day...it was a major breakthrough. But now he's reverted back to just playing with them. Oh well-he's 17 months old, what can you expect? We are planning our Texas trip for the middle of November and we can't wait to see everyone! Hope you all are doing well!

A little taste...

First of all, let me say that I had a wonderful trip and it's so good to be back. My time at the National Youth Workers Convention was wonderful. The quality of preaching, worship and pracitcal seminars is unbelievable. I also went to a critical concerns course on 3Story Evangelism that was incredible. Please check it out!
I also had a chance to spend 2 days in San Francisco doing a pre-site visit for our mission trip there next summer. It was incredible. God instantly gave me a heart for the area in doing ministry there. Rigth after he took away my incredible fear and claustrophobia of it being so packed! I didn't see any of the cool touristy pictured things that you see on television or ads. I saw the heart and pain of the city. The needs. I greatly look forward to God stretching me personally and the youth ministry here in Joelton. I'd love for you to check out CSM's website and be in prayer for them and us as we partner with them. And it was wonderful to be able to hang out with Holly and Brandon, too.
Hope everyone is doing well and we'd love to hear from you! Send us an email or leave a comment. Love you all!
Jay
