June 2009
Wow… An entire month has flown by… So, this post is dedicated to June 2009. You just about killed me… 
Family on Vacation
Susanne and the kids went on vacation without me this summer… no vacation time. 
They had a great time and they all have a tan. I think Jake is darker than I ever was!
Learning from the Best
Susanne and the kids left me for a second week to learn from my good friend John Sharp’s church. North Point Community Church does NICK AT NITE (VBS with a mess!) in Columbia, SC every summer. They were kind enough to let the kids take part and let Susanne learn how they pull it off. The kids talked about how awesome it was so much, they told me they had to go back Sunday for the last day… So I loaded up the truck and joined them… Great stuff going on in North East Columbia.
11 Years
On the 20th of June, Susanne and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. We woke up that Saturday to Sam throwing up. We didn’t get to do anything special that day, but I was able to take her to Carrabba’s last weekend. That is the best place in the world to eat and spend time with the one you love. Question I ask myself… How did she put up with me for 11 years… not sure, just glad she did.
Father’s Day
What a great day. My family made me fried pork chops & tiffy’s taters! Yes, that has to be one of my favorite meals. The honored me with a "World’s Best Father" award which I doubt I deserve, but I accepted. Best of all, the kids did not fuss with each other all day… that is what I wanted for my gift. I get to be the father to the three greatest kids on the face of the earth!
Youth LIFE Group
Starting Wednesday, July 8th, we will be adding a youth LIFE group at Revolution Church!! We would like to welcome Walter Brigman from Charleston Southern University & Journey Church. Walter will be leading this LIFE Group for upcoming 6th through 12th graders, and challenging students in their relationships with Christ. Our youth will operate on the same schedule as the children at FunDayGo. Hang out and eat from 6-7 pm with Bible Study from 7-8pm.
LifeChangers
I had the great honor to be the camp pastor for LifeChangers this year. There were 103 youth serving our city by painting, roofing, and repairing 8 houses. You can read more about it here. I preached three nights and poured my heart out. SIX youth made a decision to follow Christ and put Him first! I am so proud of those youth!
June was busy… tiring… but pretty dang AWESOME!
Hope to see you at Family Fun Night this Wednesday at Timrod Park here in Florence, SC.
