Happy Thanksgiving

A Happy Thanksgiving to all today. May you be blessed with much turkey and good vittles to eat and plenty of football to watch!

Down But Not Out

Just wanted to put up a quick post to anyone who may wander by as to why no post recently.

Well I spent the last week in the hospital, 3 plus days of which were spent in the ICU unit. I went to my doctor on Friday with aches and fever and he treated me with anti-biotic's and rest. By Sunday I was in the hospital ICU with pneumonia and very close to being put on a respirator.

I am home know continuing to recover and regain my strength. I will post more soon.

I was able to be released in time to be home and watch the Buckeyes defeat Michigan 42 - 39. I love Llllloyd Carr, he's are version of what John Cooper was to Michigan fans. May Michigan keep him for many, many years to come.

Random Stuff

As I said previous that i was sitting with my leg up. I turned it although I did not break it this time while up in Michigan last weekend for the Cloud 9 Vineyard Youth Retreat. What a great time great worship, Matt Massey brought some good teachings and the atmosphere and food was great a fun filled weekend.

So I did spend a lot of the week with my foot up and on crutches. I was able to have a good time going with my youngest daughter and her class to the Columbus Symphany's students preformance it was a lot of fun.

Also had a lot of fun today with my oldest daughter we went down to the local GOP headquarters and volunteered and worked the 72 hour GOTV effort. What a great time as we help to keep this country going in the right direction. We talked with a ton of folks on the phone banks met some statewide office candidates and really enjoyed being invovled in this great and important effort. Suprising that with all of the anti-republican proganda you here on the liberal dominated media a huge majority of people that I and my daughter both talked to were energized and excited about voting this tuesday and voting GOP!

Well now for a little Buckeye domination on ESPN 2 sorry my Illini friends.

Kurt Johnson at Saddleback does a weekend wrapup each weekend and I thought it might be nice to do and take a look back at the weekend what went on in the Rock over the weekend.

We continued in our series on Community, piggy backing with the main church services too. We wanted to give our students more things to help them engage in conversation with parents about what is going on in the bigger church body.

I will try to be more faithful to updating more in consistant to providing updates.
