a great day off

yesterday was timmy's day off.  i think he finally got caught up on sleep, we've been doing so much stuff the last few weeks, i dont know if he ever got all the way caught up until yesterday...

i started working through this study by beth moore over the disciple john yesterday.  we're going to go through the book of john in refuge, our high school girls bible study, so i thought that this would be helpful for my teaching.

last night, timmy wanted to go out to the crossing (a church some of our occ friends work at, about 30 minutes from here) so we called our friends who work at burnside and they met us there.  it was fun to be around friends!  even though we're still getting to know each other, i think it was just encouraging to talk with other young ministers.  i'm really thankful that they're here in the area.

i love getting to just relax and enjoy a church service.  our friend brig from burnside and his wife jamie were like, "we forgot how to just participate in a service..." i think all ministers need a chance to just worship once in a while, its hard to do that when you're serving, maybe over time it gets easier...  maybe we just all need a retreat once in a while...

on another note.  i miss having a target in town.  i've started browsing things online.  one of my favorite pass times in joplin was walking around stores and browsing.  something about it is really relaxing to me.  online browsing is sort of a good substitute.  and im less likely to buy things online than when im just walking around the store.

also, our poor honda has something wrong with it.  it seems like there is always something wrong with one of our cars, but we're thankful that when one breaks, the other one seems to work for that time.  its nice, we've got what we need.

love.
