Subscribe to Every Post:Back in the Saddle
My apologies for being out of commission for two weeks away from my blog. After I got back from England we moved less than a week later. Yeah, I timed that right, Kathy did most of the packing while I was away (not to mention she took care of our four kids – three of which are currently in swimming, tennis, and baseball simultaneously). Yes, she is superwoman!
I wanted to share some pictures and a few more stories from England, but I cannot find my camera. It is packed away in a box somewhere. Hopefully, I will find that soon, and will then share more stories.
In the meantime, I am back in the saddle – both on my blog and this Sunday as I return back to teaching. We are moving into I Corinthians chapter 11 in our Messy Church series. This will begin this very interesting and complex discussion about gender roles among men and women (both in home and church), God being the head of Christ, and guys not wearing long hair (how long is long? I interpret that as being no longer than three inches above the waist – so I am still good), and this interesting concept of head coverings for women for the sake of angels and respect for authority. If you know what all this means, please enlighten me before Sunday, so that I can at least look like I know what I am talking about. Hmmm … Should be an interesting Sunday.
Praise God that the Mexico team arrived home safely. The trip went exceptionally well, and not only was sickness significantly minimized from last year, no one even fainted on the plane on the way home (I still contend I did that so that we could have the emergency landing and get off the plane more quickly). As the team this year focused on teens in Mexico, there were unique stories of God’s blessings. We hope to hear more of them soon.
As a reminder to Grace Gathering folks, we will be praying for senior high students and their parents this Sunday publicly in our service. We are going to do it a little differently than we have with the other age groups, and I think it is going to be a special blessing to our teens.
Looking very forward to it!

Welcome back Chris. I was wondering where you disappeared to.
