Spoons on Sunday

Sorry for my lack of posts this past week! I’ll try to do a better job of blogging this week. This past week was a busy week. It started with a early flight out on Monday to the Exponential Conference in Orlando. It was an incredible conference with an emphasis on church planting. I took 12 pages of notes during the conference. Now I need to sort through my notes and try to digest some of the information.

We had a great service today. It was great to see so many stay for the Newcomer luncheon after church.

After church we got together with some friends and played the most intense game of spoons that I’ve ever seen. All I’ve got to say is we’ve got some very competitive people at Elk Creek Church! Eric got clocked in the nose(sorry dude, but you were in my way). Several people got scratched, clawed, & gouged. We laughed like crazy! It was honestly one of the most fun days I’ve had in a while. At the end of the day, we had some bent spoons, a few scratches on our dining room table, but it was all worth it. Thanks guys!

I’m beat…time to hit the sack

Cruel Games at the Playground

OK…it’s down to two contestants on both sides. Not that it matters much. If we were at the playground on a “teeter totter” or “see saw”, Dave would be the one up in the air legs dangling, and I’d be the one playing the cruel joke of letting my side hit the ground hard causing Dave to go airborne.

I was a little surprised that Carly got the boot with that performance. Is it because she mentioned the name of Jesus? :)
