Ever heard of anyone having too much fun? I did this weekend. Fishing Thursday and a party that night, "Tidal Wave" pool party with my youth group for the last time Friday night, Crabbing (Thanks Ron and Kevin...btw, Kevin, this is a blog. Someone tell him to read this.) on Saturday morning and dinner with SRC and Keith Edwards that night. Sunday was the Creme de la Creme (little french lingo for you Ariel) I was totally surprised with the trailer. We got a 7 x 16' trailer donated from a group of church planters and a ministry trust fund. Unreal. It's gorgeous, and will look fantastic with the lettering on the side in reflective tape.
I found out Saturday that Keith lined up a partner church for me. A church from our section who is in for $125.00 a month. Praise the Lord. We're at about 1825.00 a month deficit now. So we're making progress. Please continue to pray. I have lunches with several pastors over the next two weeks, and hope that after hearing our need will come on board.
Thanks to everyone who made this week so awesome. I appreciate you and am very thankful.

The trailer definitly looked sweet! Its always nice to see someone like Ben actually suprised. You seem the like the kinda guy who always knows the suprise is coming. Except yesterday.
That's true, I am seldom surprised. I figured out my 16th b-day party, and pretty much everything else in my life. I like surprises though. Sydney's gender was a great one (we didn't find out before she was born), Then the week they had the yardsale and gave me $700.00 for SRC, and then yesterday was a great surprise. It was awesome.

I find it really funny that you can not only count but remember all instances of suprise. I think you need to be suprised more often.
Drew, it's hard to surprise him. He's always taken the shotgun approch to anticipation trying to conceive every possible scenario so he'll be ready for it when it comes.
It was a great weekend! Laurie and I just went out yesterday evening and bought our cots for the trailer, our "temporary housing solution." Those storage units are air-conditioned, right?
