White Water Rafting

So many of you may know that I'm the Senior High Youth Director at Bible Baptist Church in Hamilton NJ... I think I might have mentioned it once or twice, the reason why I bring it up again is because Tuesday will be the first event that I have planned since being at the church. Now I might have made the mistake of expecting a lot of kids to be interested in White Water Rafting because I paid for 20 of them to go, and now it looks like I'll only have 12 or 13 which leaves me short. I really need prayer on this, so that I'm able to come close to "breaking even" with the church when this is said and done. But if I don't then I guess I live and I learn. So new things with me have been, nothing really. I'm starting to realize how soon my wedding is and how much still needs to be done for it, but I have faith in Corrie... it should all be alright. I booked the honeymoon, but I'm not allowed to tell you where, cause Corrie might be looking at this right now. I just need to find some cheap tickets so we can actually get there.

Well that's all I have to say for right now, pray that I'll be able to get too many kids on Tuesday, because too many is better then not enough. ok bye.

Summer Days halfway over... YES!!!

So it's been a while since I've written in this wonderful connection to the outside world. I last updated in the beginning of June and said that my grandmother was real sick, the next weekend she passed away. That has been a difficult thing for me to handle... Actually I haven't been sure how to handle it, but I guess it'll get easier as time goes on.

I finished my summer classes shortly after the wake and funeral for my grandmother, and am happy to say that I have only 14 credits left in my College career, at least for the undergraduate work... I don't know if I'll go on to get my Masters but the thought has crossed my mind a couple of times. I do although have to write some papers for the group dynamics class that I took in the very beginning of the summer, but I'll probably hold that off until the last second...

Some of you who read this may know that I am now the Senior High Youth Director at Bible Baptist Church in Hamilton NJ. The experience has been a good one thus far. I've made some minor changes and some more major changes for the group since starting there in March or April (I'm not sure the exact date). The most major change that I've made is the institution of Small Groups which we will be starting on Wednesday, so I'll update on how that went later on.

Summer has been going well for me so far. I got to go to Ocean City for the week a couple weeks ago, that was good that I got to spend time with Corrie and her family. Sometimes it's good to just be able to get away from things, even though I didn't get totally way from everything it was still good.

Well I think that's all I have to say about that for now. I would like to mention that I am a die hard Mets fan and they are playing pretty well right now, and for that I'm pretty excited. I'm even more excited that I'll be going to the Mets vs. Padres game at Shea on the 8th of August. I'll get to see the Mets and the return of Piazza to Shea, so it should be an event to remember.

I'll leave you with some more pictures of my nephew Elliott and all of his baby chubbiness (I'm not sure of that spelling). Ok bye.

P.S. - The reason I'm excited that summer days are almost over is because my wedding is less then six months away. YES!!!
