Writing without Aim...

   Ever realize that you have't posted in a while and so you sit down and start to write with zero plan? That's what I am going to attempt right now. So...
   We are officially under contract for a house in Liberal. It's been several years since we bought a house. There are a lot of steps to buying a house. Not to mention the fact that every piece of paperwork has numbers with a lot of zeros. It always makes me nervous when I think about committing my finances to a large purchase like this. That being said, I am super excited about having a home to call my own again.
   On a different note...weight loss is not going so well. I tend to stay up late, and when I do I often end up snacking late. This is not good if you are trying to lose weight. However, I have learned that Nutella spread on a warm tortilla is very tasty.
   On a final note...One of the things I stay up late doing recently is watching "No Ordinary Family" on hulu. This show is quite good. I like the story-lines, the family dynamic, and the lack of blood, guts, and sex. If you liked the Pixar movie "The Incredibles", you should check this show out.

I used the "It's Happening" post title one too early...

   So...as many of you have already seen on Facebook, or heard through the grapevine, First Southern Baptist Church has called me to be their new Associate Pastor of Worship and Community! Kathy and I are very excited. I foresee lots of challenges and growth ahead and even more great memories in this church as we strive to minister together in the community of Liberal. Thank you for your prayers during this whole process, and I would ask that you continue to pray as we start looking for a house and preparing to move (I hate packing with a vengeance, so I am not looking forward to the whole moving thing). We felt God's confirmation on Sunday night when Pastor Jack told us that there were 80 votes cast and they all voted for us! I was hoping for at least 85%. I feel like we are headed to the right place at the right time.

   On a separate note...it is waaaaay too cold today! Went and cut meat with Dad this morning at the Grocery store (lots of people buying meat that don't normally shop there...we had a lot to cut this morning). After we finished, we decided that it was not the kind of day that we wanted to get out and work in, so we went to our respective homes. It's been a nice day at home with Kathy and the kids. Too cold to play outside in the snow, but we've had fun together inside. Hope you've survived whatever weather you've encountered today, and that you've noticed the blessings God has given you. Have a great night!
