  • good news from Smiletown

    I just got an email from a student in Fivemiletown. He wrote this after their very first “post-Summerserve” coffeehouse. Hey Guys I have just got home from the first NO2 drop in since you left! My sis and I were not knowing what to expect but when the youth kept on going we were happy!…

  • dude, I’m getting a Dell

    I just got done talking to “the guys” on the trustee board. It’s always good when they start off a conversation with “we’re feeling pretty good tonight, let’s spend some money.” This is especially good when they are talking about computers! So, they’ve placed an order for my new laptop. It’s going to have one…

  • back to golf life

    With the golf season underway and my own leagues winding down… Golf seems to be my life right now. Even though I have played very little, I played pretty well last night. I drove the ball fairly well and even managed to snake in 2 long putts for birdie. The first one, on the par…

  • jon retires

    Shot Gun!Yesterday was Jon’s last Light Force road trip. I have to say that I was a bit nostolgic about the trip to Michigan’s Adventure yesterday. It was a trip that is not only a lot of fun… it’s also represented a major “changing of the guard” for our group. As this is our last…

  • Phase 1 update

    When I came back from Northern Ireland on Sunday, I was floored by the amount of work that had been done on the office renovation project at church. If I had to gauge my “pre-construction” expectations on a scale of 1-10 I would have put it at about a 4. I just wasn’t sure that…

  • meaning in the madness

    A couple of things that have been on my mind in the last few days. When I was in Northern Ireland things were much slower. OK, they were really, really slow. But at the same time I was able to really sit around and think through things. The freedom of time [boredom] allowed me the…

  • pop the bubbly, it’s a done deal

    I just heard from our agent. The other party sent in all the paperwork to release the contract. We have ourselves a house! Of course, there is still loads to do. But I am very excited.

  • 99% there on the house

    I did something at Light Force that I never ever do. I checked my voice mail. Something just told me that between water games last night that I needed to check it… so I did. On my phone was a message from our realtor letting us know that everything was now clear for us on…

  • holding our breathe now

    Some good news from the realtor. The seller has agreed to our offer and we are just waiting for the final documents now. The only bad news is that the house is still under contract with another party. If they don’t come up with the money in 24 hours… the deal is sealed! So… please…

  • we are crazy!

    So, I remember something during the breif debreifing time about not making any quick decisions after our trip to Northern Ireland. I threw that out the window! We made an offer on the most coolest house in the world today. We are so excited! We should find out Wednesday afternoon if we get it or…
