Happy Birthday


Tonight my family went to Colton's restaurant to celebrate my mothers birthday. I also got to see my brother-in-law for only the second time in a year and a half. No, Jeremy does not live in some distant state or foreign land he lives in Memphis. You would think that I would get to see him more often than that, but I don't. You see Jeremy is in his fourth year of an orthopedic surgery residency at Campbell Clinic. Campbell Clinic wrote the book on orthopedic surgery and Jeremy is being trained by the best. But being trained by the best has its cost, namely not having time off when other people do. Last year he had to work most holidays and so I did not get to see him. That being said, Jeremy will be the man to see for your orthopedic needs in about a year. He will be one of the best!

This Sunday I am being called on to preach again. There is beginning to be a habit forming here. I still haven't decided what I am going to talk about. I am just waiting and praying for an idea. I want to speak out to the half of our congregation that does not regularly get involved in most activities. I am wanting to speak to the part of our congregation that does not come to class and does not come on Sunday or Wednesday night. I am wanting to encourage them to give it a try. I think they will like it. I am looking for the perfect Sunday morning sermon. One that challenges but does not drive anyone away. Stay tuned to see how it goes.

How 'bout them Cardinals. It is a whole team effort with those guys. I have enjoyed it a lot. Now back to New York.
