N-E-G-L-E-C-T

What does that spell? That's right, neglect. I don't want to list a whole bunch of excuses as to why I've been neglecting this dear ol' blog, but that is EXACTLY what I'm going to do. Computer issues, sick kid, traveling, pure laziness and just getting caught up in life have kept me from blogging. However, I'm hoping that is going to change within the next week. It's not going to change today because Noah barfed on me and he won't let me let him go today. Needless to say, it has been a very miserable and gross day! Besides that, our little team is trucking along. David is loving his new job and I just got a new job myself. I haven't started yet, so I'll tell y'all more about it later. We're also hoping to put our house up for sale within the next month or so and we're VERY excited about that! But more on that later as well. So that's a tidbit of what is going on with us. Once Noah isn't clinging to me, I'll be able to update more with pictures.

A Must Read

I have been following a well known Texas pastor named Matt Chandler for quite a while. I discovered him through my college roomie, Holly. His wife (Lauren) and Holly were great friends in high school. Holly always talks about the Christian influence that Lauren and her family had on her. Anyway, recently, the Chandler family has come across some devastating news that Matt has a brain tumor. What is so fascinating about this family is that despite a grim diagnosis/prognosis, they continue to find that God is good in all things...even in cancer. Please read the article below and you'll see what I mean. Also, if you click on the Dwell Deep link to the right you'll be taken to the Pastors page where Matt preaches. There are some videos posted there that are just amazing. I have no doubt that God is using Matt's evangelical gift even in his darkest hour. Please pray for the Chandler family (Matt, Lauren, Audrey, Reid and Nora) and that God will continue to be glorified in this story.
