The Week That Was: This was my first full week with out school/work in a while. I spent a whole week getting things done in the office and at home. It felt really good to be able to do that. Friday night, I had a wedding rehersal and the Fusion Christmas Party. On Saturday, except for 2 hours where I was gone for the wedding, it was a great family day. Part of that was spent with Erin and Becky, home from college. It was great to visit with them.

Church Review: I preached at the 9:30 and 11:07 service. I think that overall that it went well. I had to change a few things on the fly because one of our teenagers was killed in a car accident the night before. It was a sad morning to say the least.

Where I Am At the Moment: I am waiting for staff meeting to start. I have a busy next two days leading up to Christmas.

On My To-Do List This Week: Let’s see, put 8 services on the computer for projection (4 Christmas Eve services, 4 Sunday Services). Write a Christmas Eve sermon. Go to the Golf Course and use a Gift Certificate. Study the Greek Alphabet for a test on Monday. Oh yeah, Christmas is in there too!

What Abbie is Up To This Week: Abbie has begun to call me “mommy”. I’ve heard that this is a stage that many babies go through. It’s pretty cute overall. She does call my daddy some still. She has also been asking “Where did it go?” with here hands up. It’s so cute. She will be so much fun Christmas morning.

Book I am in the Midst Of: Last week, I finished “The Great Emergence,” while this week, I am hoping to finish N.T. Wright’s “Surprised by Hope.” I have two chapters to go.

Music That Caught My Attention This Week: Christmas Music.

How I Feel About this week: Merry.
