return from the infirmary

Hello from the near dead...

I spent the last two weeks getting close to the beyond with a sickness that was beyond words. I didn't go to the doctor, but i think i caught whatever cold was going around the church. And I caught it at the worst time too, right before Sonya came into town and then, also, right before our BIG WEEKEND of the Make Room conference. I felt so bad, so i drugged myself up on 4 pills every 4 hours, plus "Emergen-C" as well (which is REALLY GREAT by the way) and i got about 12 hrs sleep from Friday to Monday. it was a rather crazy, but awesome weekend. We found out tonight that over 150 lives were impacted for God last weekend from our services. i mean, wow... that is FABULOUS!!!!! I got a great night's sleep Monday night and i felt like a brand new person, the meds kept me going i think, but the sleep (and prayer) made all the difference in the world.

I did find out this week that we lost a great friend and co-worker last weekend. it's been a rather difficult time for our whole department. This fella, who was from Europe, was in my role just a couple of years ago. He was so talented, such a great resource and someone i respected dearly and enjoyed working with. we will miss him dearly... and wish his family all the best and send all our love. Barnabas, you will be missed...

I had another busy weekend again... but i got to do a photoshoot with some photography friends!!! yay!!!!!!!! had such a great time!!!!!!!!!! Here's one of the pictures... my kids are so awesome!!!! they did so good, we shot them for a while, and man... did 2 hrs FLY BY or what!!?? it was crazy!!! it seemed like we just got there and then it was over. but the kiddos posed for us perfectly. then we got some great family shots! i haven't had pics taken of us since Emma was 6 months old! can ya'll believe that !!??? They're total hams! and I LOVE THEM!!! (Tim Harris, yes, odd, huh? Took the pic on the left, i took the one on right)

Had another awesome weekend during Wide Open! Tonight was GREAT! and now i must get rest before i leave on Thursday, for me to go to Minneapolis! :) i am mega excited!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!! Oh, i did talk to Sonya Saturday. She had a great week, just a lot of work. Lets pray for a May Graduation for her! :) i can't wait for her to come home!!!!!!!!!!
