Sorry for the week of no blogging! Last week was a wild one. Everything was hard and fast. 2 Sundays ago, I took a group of 22 to the Westover Hills church of Christ in Austin for the annual Intersection area wide youth rally. It was great! We praised God in song and were blessed to hear and see one of the shepherds of the congregation as he made some beautiful jars and pots and spoke about the heavenly Potter that shapes us and molds us into the vessels He wants us to be. A really nice night with the teens and Stan, Holly and Ellie Sue Whittle!

The very next morning, El, J-Boo and I woke up at 5:15 and drove to the Austin-Bergstrom airport to fly out into Little Rock for some house hunting and a visit to the Wells Fargo in Benton. We looked at seven houses and found one that looked great to us. While in the area we were able to partake of a meal with some of our dearest friends, Philip and Stephanie Howell. It is always great to be with them. We also got to take a look at the unfinished Youth Loft in the Outreach Building and have walked away with some great ideas and are already drawing up prelim designs. We then came back on Wednesday with a delayed flight and even longer delayed luggage! But, if we had not been there at that time we would not have met who we met. (Will be posted on a later blog).

Came back tired and ready to get back to work here.

Last night, Todd Lewis and I took a group of 20 to attend a youth rally and see ACAPELLA in concert. It was awesome!!! Their bass singer is low and rumbly and the lead tenor is great as well.

Be back later with my newest celebrity encounter.
