Random Thoughts

- This week marks 8 years that we have lived in Macon. Our first Sunday at the church was October 8, 2000. It seems as if we have always lived here.

-Zack shot his first deer Saturday morning. His dad was much more excited than he was.

-Paul Jr. took the SAT on Saturday and is waiting for his results to see which colleges he will apply to.

-Sam seems to be over his cold/cough, but Ben's is hanging on. He is still very congested.

-Paul preached a powerful message this morning out of Romans 6-7 on the flesh and the freedom we have in Christ. Both boys were quiet so I was actually able to listen. I need to hear it again because there was such fundamental truth in it that I need to be reminded of over and over.

-Paul looked very handsome this morning and very skinny! He's lost about 25 pounds and you can really tell.

-My dad is very sick. Please pray for him as he can't seem to get well. He's been in bed all week and even missed church today- a rarity for him. I don't think I can ever remember him missing before.

-I rear ended a lady yesterday while I was at a stop sign. I was looking down and saw the traffic move out of the corner of my eye, so I took my foot off the gas and rammed right into the back of her car. I was immediately mad at myself for doing something so stupid and apprehensive of her reaction. I got out and looked at her car and didn't see any damage. She got out and asked me if I was alright, and then looked at her car and said, "I don't see any damage, but as long as you are alright, that is what is most important." Wow. I was impressed with her reaction. I, of course, was apologizing all over myself, and her only response was concern for my well being, after I hit her! She must have been a follower of Chrst!

-Paul Jr. gets his last 2 wisdom teeth out tomorrow. Keep him in your prayers.

-Have a great week!
