Home Stretch


Well, we are in the homestretch. Only about 4.5 weeks until the baby is born. As I shared in yesterdays sermon, we are pretty set for the arrival. Just a few final preparations to make.
1. Stock up on diapers
2. Get the bassinet ready
3. Decide on a name

It is hard to believe that it is almost July already.
It has been a busy summer already.
Since school let out on June 5th, we have had a weeks vacation in the Catskills, the boys had a phenomenal run in the playoffs. There team made it all the way to the Championship Game (They lost), but Benjamin won the clinching game to get them there. He also hit his first homerun, a 3 run shot off the other teams ace to seal the win. Joshua had a really good year, going from a sub last year to a full time starter and regular contributor. He has one more year left in the Majors, could be a tough lefty pitcher with a little work.

After that crazy week, the boys and I went to Youth Camp for a week. There were 37 total from Praise. What an amazing week of fun, laughs and God. We had students baptized in the HS, some really took there worship to a new level and others left camp challenged and invigorated to take their relationship with God more seriously. Plus the Praise kids dominated Bible Quiz and
were on 4 of the top 5 teams in the final points standings.

June is ending with the older kids in NYC spending a week with their grandparents and cousins and Kristi and I using the time to get some stuff done around the house.

All in all a great start to summer and a wild time to be getting ready for a baby.
