Finally Back

Well, I think it's time I begin writing on this thing again. I know many of you have long since given up on checking for updates, but it's good for me to write all the same. So, here is what's happening with me these days.

Church has been great. Paul is speaking through the minor prophets, we just began small groups every other week, and I'm teaching through Acts with the youth in Sunday school. Everything seems to be running smoothly and I can't wait for spring to finally get here. I have been enjoying my discipleship group's study through Romans. We'll be continuing that tomorrow. It is always nice to get back into that theologically rich book and see what God has in store for our minds each week. We just got back from camp a week ago and I have to say it is my favorite Winter Camp I've ever been to. The combination of sweet worship, impactful teaching, and great spiritual fellowship amongst the students made it a very special weekend. I'm hoping we can get the same speaker back for next year.

Family time hasn't been easy to set aside, but Moriah and I are managing. We guard our Monday nights pretty closely. Charis is growing up so fast. She's now saying things like go, wow, hi, bye-bye, and map (from Dora the Explorer). Thankfully, she hasn't discovered "no" yet, but we know that is coming. She will be joined by a new baby sister in just a few weeks. Selah Joy Huff is due March 20, but could come at any time. We are so excited.

Personally I feel energized for the upcoming year. A lot is happening in 2008. A new baby is coming, my position at FVBC is being evaluated and determined for the future, we're getting a new pastor, and the Cubs are going to win the World Series. I've set a goal to be proficient at the guitar and drum set by the end of this year, and so far, things are going well. Ethan H. is a great drum teacher and I'm picking it up pretty quickly.

Well, that's it for now. More to come soon hopefully.

P.S. I just love that new book by Joel Osteen. I'll talk a bit more about that next time.
