Macedonia Church has called Will Martin as their pastor. Bethany will host Brother Will’s ordination tomorrow (Saturday 2/9). Come if you can! We’re very happy for our friends at Macedonia Church, and for Will and Allison.
Same address, new look. This site is based on WordPress tweaked to look less bloggish and more traditional. Makes maintenance easier! I’ll publish more details later on how it was put together in case anyone wants to do something similar. Check out the church history. Watch for news and changes; we plan to keep this one much more dynamic than the old site.
Alex and I went to church this morning and came home in the afternoon. We found that Tori had an OK day: no major events, but still feeling rotten. Drew has periodic bouts of nausea and hot flashes, but has not worsened. His seems a low-grade nuisance right now. All the rest of us are still doing great.
Thanks for all the prayers! The prayer requests and praise reports at Bethany this morning took a full 20 minutes, and praise reports got nearly equal time with requests for prayer. We had some of both, and it was a sweet time. I was very encouraged, and shared the experience with Melissa. I hope we are all back together in church next weekend.
It’s October again. Happens every year, ready or not–Bethany’s annual meeting! Don’t read me wrong, it’s great to have a meeting, but how did it get to be October? Did we skip a month? Time is flying by. The meeting starts Friday night at 7:30. No dinner on Friday night because we have this local custom of staging a giant automobile exhibit every evening on I-285 around dinner time. This static display of idling vehicles is inappropriately named “rush hour,” and it pretty much kills the chances of mustering a crowd to eat.
We’re looking forward to having my parents with us through the weekend, starting tomorrow. So of course tonight Melissa is shopping at Publix until they kick her out. She got a late start, since Matt had an obstinate non-potty kind of evening that required two baths.
I cleaned up the kitchen and read The Hobbit to Drew and Alex. Bilbo just fought off the giant spiders, and the boys laid down jabbering about how many giant spiders they could have killed if they’d been there. Fun! Now I’m paying bills. Really.
