A good weekend

Some random updates, as posting has been sparse these last few days.

It was a good weekend. Friday night was a good night to relax, as all but one of our kids was out of the house (the girls spent the night at the grandparents, Andrew was at a guys retreat with friends). I crashed in bed – it was awesome to get some sleep.

Saturday opened with a sweet victory by the Giants over our flag-football rival The Texans (7-8 year old league). They are the only team that had beaten us – we had each beaten the other once. We won by a touchdown and we are still savoring the victory and our secured position as the best team in the league. It was my better-half’s idea to treat this game like a homecoming game; the kids all had their hair painted, we had those tough-guy black bars under their eyes, streamers on our cars, slogans on our windows, signs and spirit! That was our edge. Blake played the entire game and did a great job. Who dat say gonna beat dem Giants? Heh.

This morning the 249N band led worship with the following songs in our junior high service:

Failure to Excommunicate (Relient K)

Almighty God (Parachute Band)

Knees to the Earth (Watermark)

Into Your Presence (Canadian Vineyard)

Change Me (Sanctus Real)

The Watermark and Vineyard songs were particularly good – the worship was great! I’m blessed to get to work with this group.

We had a wonderful Mother’s Day and Jill enjoyed her new Brighton watch and Old Navy blouse (she, um, helped me pick them out so I knew she’d like them :-). The day was very rainy so after a great lunch at Pappasitos we came home and watched Phantom of the Opera. Great flick.

I leave you with links to Mr. Standfast’s Christian Identity series. It’s a great series and well worth reading:

Christian, You Are a Child of God

Christian, You Are a Branch of the True Vine

Christian, You Are a Friend of Jesus

Christian, You Are the Light of the World

Hope your weekend was great, and that your week is even better!
