Sick and Tired

Man...

Been one heck of a week. Sam started off with the croup. Then Amy got sick...real sick. Then I started getting sick. Then Sam got better. Amy stayed sick. I stayed sick. Sam got sick again. Sam starting to feel a bit better with mom and dad still struggling in their old age.

If it weren't for the help of grandparents I'm not sure what we would have done over the last two weeks. I feel blessed to have them. When they die life will totally suck...for a number of reasons :).

Had an opportunity to preach at Penn Avenue this morning. Fighting through the snot was not too much fun...but we made it work. Preached on Luke 1:26-38. Even sang a bit. Kind of fun...don't get to do that enough these days. Have a great Christmas week. I'll be back.

It's been a while....

It's been a while. Over three months counts for more than a while, I guess. But, I'm back. We're back. And glad to be back. Lot's going on.

Yes, we're expecting. June 6th is the date. We think it's a girl. Sam does too. If so, we're probably going with "Ellie." If not, Sam will be very confused!

We've had much going on and so much to be thankful for in these days. We've recently gotten through a very busy, but productive season at OKC Compassion. We just celebrated the ten year anniversary at OKC Compassion, had a huge banquet, raised awareness and some money at the same time.

Amy and I are currently overloaded with the weight and responsibility of running the residential recovery program. This just recently became our responsibility, within the week. We are excited and completely overwhelmed all at the same time. But, we've been there before. Our goal is to find people to help who have a whole lot more knowledge than we do and hand off ministry as God allows.

We hope you are doing well. I'll be in touch a bit sooner! Love from the Hall's!
