Sunday.  The Lord’s Day. A great day!

Experienced some outstanding family time.  Our children are enjoying the day camp here at College Week.  This is amazing.  Madison really enjoys her classmates and teachers.  We were walking as a family from the Chuckwagon to our room and Madison saw one of her friends and out of no where they just hugged!  It was awesome!

Jennifer and I enjoyed some time together as well.  We chilled in the coffeehouse type place.  Which is a dream of mine, that my wife and I would enjoy coffeehouses together.  We shared meals together and were just by each others side the entire time.

A huge highlight was being able to talk to Epic Church via cell phone.  I am so humbled at all the people who have sacrificed time from their busy scheudle to pray for me and my healing.  I so missed being at the Epic Church Gathering and Community Group. I really missed being at my home when the group met and BROKE my child’s trampoline!  Good times!

Spiritually, an outstanding day.  I was able to experience some outstanding biblical communication.  Although there was little application presented I was able to walk away with a lot ot chew on.  Here is a small hit list:

• What does Jesus need?
• Does Jesus really need us to accept him?
• Why is it when Jesus had large crowds he dropped the hammer?  “Hate your mother, father, wife, children” , “Eat my flesh and drink my blood”
• Why does Jesus seem, “OK” with talking people out of following him? (Luke 9)
• Do I really understand that God doesn’t NEED us?

And I am getting a little more sore walking around here.  I used an ice pack last night and I see it in my future again tonight.  And I am really looking forward to finishing our family moive in our room, “High School Musical”!
