Sunday

What an awesome day of worship, dedication and relationship building. We headed out to Element in Tampa with a few rain showers still lingering around but with temps in the 70's. What a difference a week makes as last week it was down below freezing. This morning would be the first time the kids get to use the new classroom's. We had 30-40 kid's and tons of visitors plus we dedicated 6 new babies and their families. Bobby's message was just inspiring and so right on. Wow what a group of people and Nancy and I feel so blessed to have made so many new relationships. This group of believers are so much like our friends at Cornerstone. The part of showing ownership in a church makes all the differene in how we relate to one another and our walk with CHRIST.

After the service we dedicated the new classrooms, had a shower for the kids and then celebrated with a huge cake(I was strong and didn't eat any). Its amazing what a group of folks can do when we all pull together. We got home around 1 PM and I vegetated watching the NFL except for some brief moments. A couple upsets today I thought with the Cowboys and Chargers losing. Amy, Tyler and Ava came for supper around 6 so I grilled deer burgers for Tyler and myself and hamburgers for the girls. The deer actually tasted better than the ground sirloin Nancy bought at the store, even she agreed. The kids stayed until about 8 as Tyler leads his college group on Sunday night.

Well tomorrow is a stay home day(no pickle ball) as its a holiday so we will just catch up on some little things and then head for Amy and Tyler 's for dinner. It sure was good to see little Annsley today. We are babysitting her this Friday night then we will get together with friends Becky and Jerry Hoffman who live in the Brandon area. They visited us this past fall at the cabin for a couple days. Looking forward to this next busy week and weekend. Nancy's brother Eric fly's in on Wednesday morning from Detroit and then flys out on Friday evening so that means there will be some great family dinner's this week as well. Enclosed are a few pics taken at Element this morning.LATER.
