This week has been amazing. As I look back it really started last Wed night at youth with one of the best nights we have had all year in my opinion. Friday at the prayer service was excellent and it gave Coach and I an opportunity to brag on our youth and praise GOD for what he is doing with them, especially the seniors. Sunday service was great ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how many of you are still on LJ, but I'll make sure the information gets to MySpace too. I just got an email saying that Mrs. Simms went home to be with Jesus at 11 AM today. She was at her earthly home when this happened, which was her wish. I appreciated the prayers lifted up by Josh and Jonathan on their LJ's. PLEASE everyone ( Read more... )

It felt a lil weird not going to church tonight, but from the faces I saw at Coach's and Jaimee's house it appeared that youth group went on as normal. It looked like everyone had a great time, and I didn't have to bail anyone out of jail so that's great too. I hope everyone is thankful for everything GOD has provided. I know that as I hang out ( Read more... )

As I sit here and reflect on the night I find myself so very thankful to JESUS for allowing me to be apart of the Youth Department at FBCPP. I am constantly amazed at our youth and tonight was a humdingger. I received so many positive comments about the youth and the service it was hard to keep track. The nearly 30 youth that showed up was a ( Read more... )

Well, our weekend was extremely busy. After working all Friday night and getting off at 7AM on Saturday morning we slept a few hours and headed for the church to start working on our entry for the Pinellas Park Christmas Parade. Our help started arriving shortly after we did, everyone pitched in and made it a HUGE success. It was a little ( Read more... )

What a POWERFUL youth group last night!!! I can't stop singing the Praise songs and thinking about the students sitting there absorbing what God had to say through JJ. It was totally amazing. We haven't written in a while so I thought I would let you guys know how privileged we feel to be around you. There have been students lately who have ( Read more... )

Another busy day, but it keeps us out of trouble. Got in around 7-ish, woke Jon up to go to the Ridge Center to help out with VBS, and showed him the pics of him in the police car ride at Wal-Mart on SillyShoes LJ, that was hysterical!!! He got ready to go and we went to sleep (after a few minutes of Fox News - I knew the Mrs would be surprised) ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been almost a week since I posted. I'm not sure where the time is going. We had a busy weekend, getting Jon back home from camp, taking care of Dan's dog, teaching our class and work - the time just flew by. I got the rest of the green painted in our spare room, and started on the trim/baseboards and it looked very very good. I'm ( Read more... )

The 8th was a GREAT day. We got about 7 hours of sleep - in a row!!! Murray had an appointment at 3:30 so we went to that, then to Dan/Sara's to take care of Clifford and the fish (sorry, snake still on his own). From there we went to All Children's Hospital to check on Daniel. He had just gotten back into bed after sitting up in the chair, so ( Read more... )

I ran out of time to post for Wednesday, so here goes the condensed version. Murray worked late, finished at 10:00 AM, went to All Children's Hospital and sat with Daniel's parents through his surgery (GREAT NEWS THERE!!), went home about 2, took a nap till 5, went to youth, went to Dan's house to take care of Clifford, back home to sit for a few ( Read more... )
