An awesome thing happend to us the other day. Where I work is very close to Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI). Just down the road from my office is an observation area where you can watch the planes land and take off. I go there for lunch often to get out of the office and relax. It also has a playground for kids and bike trails for the bigger kids. About 2 weeks ago Misty brought the boys there so we could all have lunch together. Out of the blue a young guy, around 20-25, approached us and immediately started telling us about the evening he had and the various drinks he partook of. I interjected and told him about the "living water" I had the night before. No sooner was I done with my sentence did he walk away and find someone else to converse with. Just this past Monday, Misty and the boys came to have lunch with me again. Low and behold the same young man was there and approached us again. After exchanging names I brought up our past brief discussion and he remembered it. The seed had been planted. I asked him why he walked away and he said he didn't know. I proceeded to tell him what the "living water" was, that I had mentioned last time, and after sharing with him for about 20 minutes he accepted Christ into his life. Praise God! Hopefully God will cross our paths again so I can continue to share with him and see what God can do in his life. No seed is too small that God can't produce amazing fruit from it...Amen!?

Misty and I were able to attend the Marriage Getaway in Gettysburg, PA this past weekend. It was great to get away and fellowship with other married couples. There were many thought provoking sessions and a great question and answer time. One of the most memorable things was a skit that took place about "carnal weapons". It was very funny but was full of real life "weapons" that could be used in the midst of those conversations that we hope the neighbors don't hear. It really made one stop and think about how we converse with our spouse in and out of those times. The weekend for Misty and I, I can say, was really more about preventative medicine. Often times that is the most effective. I think we left there with a deeper appreciation for each other and really recognizing how blessed, by God, we are to have each other.

Well...I just took my Mid-term for my Biblical Psychology class. I think I did pretty well on it. I was fairly nervous. It was the first test I had taken in a few years. I can't wait to see the results of the test and what the rest of the semester has for me. I really feel like I'm back in the swing of things as a student and I have a great expectation of God for my time here at MBC&S.

Misty continues to be amazing. The women's seminar was a couple weeks ago and she had a great time being built up in the word and fellowshipping with friends. She out did herself again baking for the college students. She has been invited to help plan/coordinate some upcoming musical events here at the church. I know she'll do great and will enjoy taking on the task.

The boys are wonderful as always. Here are a few recent pictures of them. They are so amazing! Just having the opportunity to watch them grow and learning to interact is so cool. They are really neat little people. Reese, I think, is going to hold us true to the "If I had this one first...I wouldn't have had another" comment. No...he's not that bad but there is no mistaking the differences between the two of them. He will be 1 year old in November. How time flies! He loves his big brother. They get along very well. Grant does a great job "reading" to Reese and telling us all his infamous bear, snake, dinosaur and whatever else, stories.

Well...I guess that is all for now. Thank you for your continued prays and edifying comments. Oh yeah...hope you like the new format. That would be the woman's touch. I have to admit, it is a lot more appealing to the eye. We love you all!
