SuperStars!

These pictures were taken at the 'Silver Chair' Premiere in which I starred as Prince Rilian; Nathan starred as Aslan; Caleb starred as a giant(somehow that strikes me as hilarious. :D) and an earthman; and Alexa starred as a giant(s), an earthman, a crazy school marm, and the rear-end of a centaur.

So we got to get all dressed up like superstars and stuff.

Here's the family picture

...the goofy picture
.,..and the weirdo who played Rilian.
See ya later!

They're Gonna hava Baby!

Yes, it's true. Nathan and Colleen Sleadd are already expecting their first child! They surprised us all at church yesterday with the thrilling news.


So during announcements at church, Mr. Nathan stands up, with this goofy, yet subtle grin that seemed to say, "I know something you don't!"

Alexa and I both had a hunch that there was something out of the ordinary when he stood up with that hidden smile. So he starts thanking everyone who helped make the wedding happen and for all the support he and Colleen received.

And then he goes,
"...and now that the wedding is over we're looking forward to getting lots of free dinners in 9 months."

There was a brief silence and I was thinking, "Huh? Why would they be getting free dinners? And why in 9 months? Wait... 9 months? Isn't that how long....? NO WAY!!"

It took everyone a few milliseconds to process what Nathan had said... but when we figured it out we got all excited and congratulated them both.

Alexa was sitting next to me and she burst out in tears at the exciting news. And then several people got up and gave Nathan and Colleen nice big hugs.

Wow. In a matter of weeks my brother has gone from living at home with his parents, to living alone as a bachelor, to getting married, to becoming a dad. Wow. No fair. :)

God is Faithful!

2 Timothy 2:11-13

It is a trustworthy statement: for if we died with Him(Christ), we will also live with Him; If we endure we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

The Attack of the Mighty Bachelors!!!

My Beautiful Bucket of Bolts

I Got Me a Car

It's a 1994 Toyota Tercel. It gets 25-30 miles per gallon, a nice improvement to the Mark VII's 18 miles per gallon. The engine is in good condition and it runs well. The body's a little dinged up in places but nothing significant. It was a great deal that I was lucky to get. Now I just can't wait to drive it!

Seeing that I've never driven a 'stick-shift' before, I'm gonna hafta learn to before I can drive it anywhere. The plates also need to be renewed, so I just have to be patient until it's all fixed up for me to drive.



Note: These pictures are from the owner. I'll post some better photos later.

The Best Movie in the World!

We have finally seen Fireproof! What an excellent, excellent movie! It displays what genuine, sacrificial love really looks like; not only in a marriage setting but also in our relationship with Christ.

Romans 5:8- "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Praise God for Sherwood productions! May they continue to make good movies that will impact the church and the culture for God's kingdom and glory!
