The weekend

I had a great weekend, somewhat slow for my taste but nice. I got to do the BIble study and meal with the football team at Pedro, I got to see them rally from down 12 points in the first quarter to winning by the score of 24-12. I got to see the coaches make adjustments and the players adjust well to those adjustments. SO we now control our own destiny, if we win this Thursday against Atlantic and again next Friday against Clay we are in teh playoffs. If we lose either of those games we will be at home watching the playoffs. It doesn't take too much talking to motivate the gusy for that plan.
Saturday I got moving alittle bit slow, took the medication and we were off and running. We took the girls to Ancient City Kids Day at Francis Field and let them run around and make things. They made ghosts out of lolipops, masks out of plates and even got to roll around in a huge bubble wrap type of set up. The girls had a blast, then we went home and I got to work on my race car trailer. You know, to avoid the whole ticket situation from happening again. So we got teh lights all re-wired on the trailer and got that done in the afternoon. MEanwhile, P.J. was once again teaching herself to ride a bike. She had mastered riding without training wheels, but not turning or stopping, or starting on her own. Now, she is all over the place riding around the neighborhood uninhibited whatsoever. It's so neat to watch them experience something like that and go from dependent to independent inside of a few hours. As soon as she felt she had it under control it turned into racing all the neighborhood kids and Alexa. What can I say? She's my racer for sure.
We settled in for the night catching some baseball and some football.
Then, Sunday morning I got up ready to face a new day. This Sunday was a little bit different as Bobby Crum from Anastasia Baptist Church had agreed to come and lead worship for us, and what an amazing job he did. Bobby is a very talented individual who has been the major force behind the transformation ANastasia Baptist Church has seen over the past decade. He was actually a youth pastor there about 12 years ago when I started in the ministry. He has climbed up the ranks building a large youth ministry, then college ministry and now COntemporary worship crowd on Saturday nights. God has used him in amazing ways and I was glad to have him come and be a part of our ministries for sure.
SO that's it, we survived the kidney stone scare and we're back to wide open! Thanks for reading and remember to keep Suzanne Squires in your prayers today!
