- yes, I cut my hair... don't worry, long hair lovers, it isn't THAT short!
- Melissa and I have placed our house on the market. We don't have anywhere to go, we just know that we have to move. The place is way too small and our 5/1 ARM is up next year. If you know of anyone looking for a cheap house to get into the market, let me know. Likewise, if you know of any nice, cheap 3 bedroom homes, let me know! Either way, we desperately need your prayers.
- One of Melissa's close friends growing up passed away while giving birth. She was 26 years old. The baby is fine, but her husband (Cameron) and her family really need our prayers. Please lift them up when you get the chance. Her name was Pam. She loved the Lord passionately, and is now able to tell Him face to face.
- I've been taking a lot more time to get away from the craziness and read when I get the chance. Right now, I'm finishing up "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. It is a great book documenting the process of coming to faith in Christ. This guy is a great author and a great speaker. I heard him this year at Willow Creek and loved every second. NOTE: I would suggest the book... but you need a clear perspective. This book is not a theological treatise. Nor is it a Christian living book. It has, however, greatly influenced the way I view the body of Christ and our role as believers. Let me tell you... if you read it, prepare to get kicked in the teeth by the truth it contains. I pray I can really love people the way Christ does.- I could use some prayer. I've been kind of crazily running around working on Chapel things as well as side projects and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Please pray that God provides rest and that when He does I take Him up on it.
Until next time...

Praying for you guys as you try to sell your house!
You know, sometimes you just have to take moments that could be busy ones and just use them for rest. That's what I'm learning...
Hey Steve... thanks for sharing the updates about your life. It was great to see ya, even briefly, last Sunday! I'm so excited to hear about all the great things happening at the Chapel, and I know you're a part of that. Like Bekah said, hope you're able to get some rest in as well.
"Blue Like Jazz" was amazing... it's one of the first Christian books I've ever lent to a non-Christian, and she actually liked it! Good stuff.
