blogging about life is *so* cliche ;)

Someone pointed out that i seldom blog about what's going in my life. so, here we go.

Laura and I are *loving* life together. I’m working at Tetrick & Barlett, so i now cut my hair short, shave, and buy dress clothes. we travel day-audits enough to keep it interesting, but we only have to travel overnight 4-5 weeks out of the year (thank ya Jesus!)

I’m also serving as executive pastor at Crossroads, which is an amazing community of believers more intent to be involved than any other church i've seen. Our project currently is building a feeding center in the Dominican Republic for these kids that literally have orange hair and swollen stomachs due to emaciation.

My lovely wife, Laura, is singing on the worship team, nannying until November, and starting classes in Biblical counseling.

As you can tell by my latest blogs, we're growing discontent with our lack of involvement in alleviating suffering. God's convicting us to try to give a voice and aide to those that don’t have one—orphans, abused kids, homeless, etc. No idea where that will take us as we struggle through it, but we're fed up with complacency.

My brother/hero in Chicago, Craig, is putting feet on this through a benefit rock concert to build an orphanage in Tajikistan. I'm *super* stoked about this. Please pray about support this great work for the suffering in Tajikistan.

This weekend was truly amazing, we got to hang out with some of our great friends, Camichelle, Josh and Ian, and just catch up and play music. I think that was the first weekend we've gotten to do that since we got married, actually.

Sunday morning, church was amazing. Pastor Shane preached about the responsibility of priviledge. There were many new faces, so i'm very excited about getting the visitors plugged into our life groups so we can get to know them better.

Laura woke up monday too sick to go to work. She slept for 19 hours straight Sunday night, so please pray for her. I hate it when she feels bad, and I would take it for her if i could.

We officially moved into our master bedroom, so we now have a guest room available and a music room... now we just need more people to come visit. ::hint hint::
