I feel as though I haven't posted anything in a while; oh, wait, I haven't! I'm going to use this time to ramble on a few things and catch you up to speed on what's been happening to me. This may take a little while. Consider this a potpourri post!
The kids have been sick over Christmas. Conner and Chandler both caught some viral bug, but Conner had the tougher route. He wound up being admitted into the hospital on Monday, December 21. His oxygen levels were not what they needed to be as he has asthma, so he had to have oxygen for a while in the hospital. In fact, he didn't get to come home until Christmas morning. To make a long story short, both of the boys are better, and everybody's fine now.
I am delayed on posting some sermons, and I posted two today: The Sin Leading to Death and The Handwriting on the Wall. Check them out if you get a chance, and I've got one more from this previous Sunday I need to add when I get around to it. We've had some short weeks in the church office, so my time has been limited on getting around to these. I have had some other areas needing more urgent attention.
Chris Lockhart and I did a little squirrel hunting on New Year's Day, but we only managed to bag a couple of those tree-hanging rodents. Chris was shooting a Stevens 12 gauge that nearly made me come unglued; I don't know that I've ever heard a 12 gauge that was as loud as his. Anyway, it was fun. I've squeezed in a little deer hunting as well, the latest being yesterday evening. However, I haven't done any good as nothing moved last night while I was there. I'm going for the last time tomorrow evening when we are supposed to get a few inches of snow, so it may be really interesting. I'm trying to decide whether to go squirrel hunting again or bowhunting for deer. I'll figure that out tomorrow.
Turkey season will be right around the corner. Craig Evans, a friend of mine, recently accepted the preaching position at the Spring Hill Church of Christ, and I'm looking forward to him coming down not only to work with that great congregation, but also so he can go turkey hunting with me. It's great being able to hunt with friends, especially turkey hunting. It's such an exciting time of year when you can hear those gobblers sounding out their thunderous calls.
One of the things I'm grateful for with my job is the ability to preach at the Bridge on Sunday evenings. They really look forward to the service on Sundays, and I'm uplifted by their spirits when I'm in their presence. They are truly a blessing to me. Not only does it give me the opportunity to preach, but it lets me spend time with them. Ray Garrett does a fantastic job leading us in singing, and I'm grateful he is there with us.
I told you this would be random.
