anniversary

so it’s been a while since the last post. my usual, write in spurts behavior.

our anniversary trip to British Columbia was awesome, great skiing, smooth travels, great food and above all, wonderful company. it really was refreshing to celebrate 10 years with my wonderful wife, who teaches me so much, challenges me with her big heart and keeps me connected to challenge to live the Kingdom right where we are.

so i’ve been pretty preoccupied over the past weeks getting ready for our Leadership Training Program out at Carolina Beach, NC this summer. our family will be out there for the startup of it all, which will be fun. it will be great to get to know some of the v-tech staff team and enjoy the beach with our kids and the crew that’s out there.

lots going through my brain of late, some of which i hope to get up here soon.

in some quick news:
- we had a recent scare with my dad and cancer, but he’s a-ok and all is looking good for him and the future, so that’s a relief.
- tommy is playing soccer which is fun, you can check out jayne’s blog for pics.
- we’re in finals week here, so things are winding down. great semester, always so good to look back on what the Lord has done over the past school year.
- i’m heading to Philly this weekend to help a friend load up a truck and move his family, should be a good trip.
- i’m re-motivated for our bathroom (thanks Nick) and hope to get that thing finished up this summer, but we’ve got a long ways to go.

slowin it…

One cannot be free from the stresses of a speed- and size- obsessed culture until you are free from the materialistic addictions, time-famine mind-set, and comparative impulses that created it in the first place… Learn to slow down. Get lost intentionally. Observe how you judge yourself and those around you. Chances are it’s been awhile. (Ferriss 236)
