Hey Everybody!
Yes. The rumors are true. I yet live! Breathing still. Active as all get out. And most of the time, entirely too busy to even get online. Work, family, and everything else tends to be rather time consuming these days.
Bob,
I and my family are doing well. Courtney just turned
9 yesterday! It's a shame. She shouldn't be that old - EVER. But, we're blessed with her. She can be a hard headed little girl, but she's got a heart for Jesus and that heart is often seen. She can be quite the rebuke to her father from time to time too!
Caity will be 6 in May, and she's giving us a run for our money! Let's just say she's more in tune with her sin nature than her sister is. And yet, I can still see her growing. She was saved almost a year ago, and has her moments too. Trying to help her older sister out when she was afraid to try a new gymnastics...thing
, she tells her, "You know Cohtney, you can do what I do when I get scared! Just...trust in the Lohd!" If you know Caity, the comment was suspect
, but as they say, "out of the mouth of babes..."
Christy, my wife, is doing well too! Work has her running every which way but loose at times (as does mine), but we're making do. We've spent alot of time reflecting on the past and planning for the future these days. We're learning, begrudgingly, but learning nonetheless, to be content with where we are and what we have. God's been good to us, and we're building a more thankful outlook on life.
Our church family is growing and doing great! I still get stuck at work on the weekends off and on, but when I'm free, we have a great time each Sunday morning. One of our pastors finished up Romans in our worship service, and is now preaching through John. Two of our pastors are teaching in our ABF: one on the book of Job, the other on the book of Ezekiel. Our family is in the Ezekiel study now, and for what parts I've been able to make, have learned alot. The biggest for me being, to remember God. Sounds funny, but really, that's the problem we face when we choose to sin. We choose to forget God and follow our own desires. It's when we're faced with the choice that we're to purposefully remember Him, and in so doing, not fulfill our own wants and wishes. When we "fall" into sin and feel we simply forgot God...it's time to check out
why we forgot Him. It's easier to forget Him if He's not on your mind. Life has a way of making us get so busy and caught up in our own agendas, good or bad, that we forget Him. And in forgetting Him, we open ourselves up to wrong choices. In the end, it's still a conscious choice. We chose to be busy and exclude God, to our own detriment.
Our church is also about ready to begin moving into our own building! We're in the purchasing phase of an existing business center, that we'll remodel and move into sometime in the summer/fall of 2007. Suffice to say that everything God has done to make this move possible is a resounding affirmative of His will in this matter. Our church is also growing in numbers. A few more families have joined, and many more are visiting. Most of those families have young children/are about to have
really young children!
It's nice to see a good mix of age in our body, but also to have a strong core.
My dog...is getting old. And fat. Kinda like me!
That's how things are going here in Indy...that and that my...
Ahem. So...how's NASCAR?
Tom,
'Sup wit chu? I trust that you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I also hope that this finds you in good health Brother. Yup. You're still in my prayers even if I'm not still actively in the forum.
Everybody else,
HI!!!! Miss y'all! I'd be checking my PM's more often if they were working yet! (I jest and fully understand). Remember the phrase of the day:
His,
Kevin (aka Allinall)
