what up kate z.  this is a shout out to my friend that recently went over seas...if are checking the web while you're over there, let us know...if not, you'll catch this when you arrive back in the u.s.

leaving

so i'm leaving for colorado in a couple of hours.  i'm a little stressed out.  some things that should have been ironed out were not, so they are being figured out in the last 24 hours, it's not as organized as i would like, and we are driving through the night, which i've never done before.  please pray we stay on the road. 

there are four students and one adult from my church going, and i'm looking forward to seeing how God works in us at this conference...

sugar water

brennan hadn't pooped in over two days.

last week we had this discussion about why babies aren't supposed to have sugar.  diabetes?  hypoglycemic? hyperglycemic?  we didn't really know.  i didn't see the big deal with brennan having a taste of ice cream or something like that, but cyn didn't want him to have sugar, so i was fine with it.

this morning we called the doctor about b's constipation, and he said to give him a bottle of sugar water. 

so now you know, sugar water cures constipation.

another day

well, i was a bit discouraged yesterday when only one student showed up to a swim day that we had planned.  i called about 10-12 students and some of them said they would probably come, and i knew of some junior highers that said they might come, and then there was only one, and we canceled.  thanks kathryn for coming.

so i spent the afternoon chilling, did a little reading, threw some discs, and then friday night i got to lead worship.  i had a great time leading worship, since i haven't really had the op at faith yet, and it will be a while before the kids are ready.

i'm just discouraged.  but something cool happened friday night.  i began playing a song i had written and almost everyone knew it.  it was cool.  i didn't know half the people there, but even some of them knew it.  i guess that brandon plays it, and copies of some of my recordings have gotten circulated, so that was cool.  it helped me feel like i had been used by God.

so today is another day.  so our swim day got canceled, but i just need to take things one day at a time...you know...it's hard, but that's the way it is.

patriotic baby

july 3rd...and brennan is making a patriotic statement.  i'm not talking about the flag outfit, i'm talking about the sleeping...naps are an american past time...every, this is what i want you to do...tomorrow on july 4th, take a nap.

impala

we have a new car.  this past week we bought a '03 chevy impala, minus the spoiler and make it sparkly brown and this is our car!  we got it for 2600 under kelley blue book value and the dealer took my piece of junk hatchback off my hands.  the breaks sqeek, so i'm having those looked at on tuesday, but over all we are very happy.
