Getting back in touch

As I posted in a blog a couple months ago...its been a tough last year.  Between losing my brother and Jessica having a miscariage, the last year was pretty rough.  And for me who is a people person, it has been tough.  I pretty much went into hiding.  Part of it was good and part was bad.  I had no idea how to deal with things so I cut myself off from a lot of people.  It has also been hard for me in ministry.  Its been hard to be my cheerful self.  And I just want to appologize for that.  I know that I have not been available at times.  I know that sometimes I havent returned calls, txts, or emails.  But I had to do what I had to do.  I just have had to take time to myself.  I needed time to heal.  I needed to deal with things.  I never thought this would be me, but after all this time, I finally am starting to get back to my old self.  So I hope that I havent offended or hurt anyone by this.  But please understand...I've never been through anything like this and had no idea how to deal and cope with it.   But if I have please contact me.

Winter Jam 2009

Yesterday, we took our students to Winter Jam 2009 at Time Warner Arena in downtown Charlotte.  It was a great concert with Tobymac, Hawk Nelson, Brandon Heath, Newsong, Francesca Battistelli, Tony Nolan, Stephanie Smith, and PureNRG.   We took the Charlotte Transit Train downtown after a good lunch at Steak and Shake....and then the fun began.


For the past two years we had several of us get in line early and save seats.   We had six of us get in early and save seats for 38....well that didnt turn out too well...we ended up being short on seats due to the ushers not allowing us to save seats.  But for some reason, they allowed other groups to do so.  I'm all about being fair...but I don't understand why the ushers made our folks give up 10+ seats and let other groups reserve.  It was almost a disaster having part of our group split up.  But in the end the students all had a great time.   Next year, we will just all eat downtown and get in line early and not worry about it...
