Derek, my brother leaves a week from today to go on his 2nd tour to the war in Iraq. This is really hard on our family but it also feels like we're old pro's at it, all in the same time. i love this boy almost as much as i do my own children. The older he gets, the closer we get, and yeah, maybe it is because he does just 'get it' so much more... but i will never accept any thought of ever leading my life without him in it. I know that God will bring him home to us again... just like he always has!!! God's Speed, bro... I LOVE YOU!
On lighter news, one of my best good friends cooked a great dinner for me the other night... Was really good!!! Bumble Bee Soup... ever heard of that? I had not and to be honest, I was a bit scared... :) but it was awesome, I was HIGHLY impressed. :) Of course, as he cooked, I played around with my camera, 1/2 way into his efforts. i missed all the good part at the beginning. HA!as a plug here... I do have a flicker page, facebook page and I recently became a twitter user (we'll see how long that lasts). I will be posting most of my stuff (photos) on Flicker :) and I keep Facebook pretty updates, all links are there.
SO... MLK day was FUN! I had a good lunch and good company, did some much needed shopping :) and then went to MLK day! Was so awesome!!! And man... what an AWESOME service! I took some pics during rehearsal, and man... just... AWESOME! Anthony Evans was here all weekend. I was not here for Sat/Sun Services, however, I know it was "OFF DA CHAIN!" I saw the videos and heard everyone talking about it, via facebook of course! and i was wishing so much i was home, the whole weekend to be here!!!
I LOVE MY CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anthony's team brought some shirts down to sell, i bought 3 :). They were really funny tho... one, green one, had a bite taken from an apple and said "My bad - Eve" HAAHAHA!! The other says "God loves everyone. but i'm His favorite." is that me or what? i love them!!!
So... Pray for my brother's friend, he's in Arkansas Children's Hospital, on life support b/c of an ATV accident. Pls keep him lifted up!
