Fun Stuff

You haven't heard from me in a while and for good reason. I have been like a cat in a rocking chair convention recently moving from thing to thing. A lot of good stuff happened recently including 1)Debbi's garden is bearing fruit...big fruit. Everyday we pick tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos and zucchini squash and CORN which is some of the sweetest I have ever tasted. 2) Sam and I went tent camping at Guntersville Lake State Park. True to tradition it rained on us and we had to leave early and also true to tradition we ate at McDonald's to get out of the rain. Davis and Logan joined us for our adventure and we caught a nice bunch of bream off the dock. I taught them to fillet the fish and we cooked and ate them Sunday night at youth group. Our youth group kids were amazed and kept walking over to the stove while I was cooking and saying, "You are really gonna eat that?" 3) Maddi and I are walking 2 miles every morning. It is good to get out there and tear up the asphalt with her. She keeps an Ipod in so as not to have to listen to me spinning yarns about the good ole days. She likes it even though she acts like she is dying. 4) Maddi turns 14 tomorrow. I cannot express in words how unbelievable that is. It just doesn't seem possible. 5) We finished our last big youth event for the summer yesterday with our Middle school trip to Point Mallard Water park. We had 25 kids most of which were new 6th graders. It has been a good summer of ministry and our interns Davis Sweatt and Amanda Leggett did an outstanding job. They deserve a lot more than the money they make each week. Kids start school next week and then we will enter another exciting season. God has blessed us this summer more than we or especially I deserve. I hope the same can be said for you and yours. Praying that that is the case.
