Busy Life!

• Did a wedding on Friday night at Lake Arrowhead. It was outside, right on the water and was absolutely beautiful.
  
• Spent Saturday cleaning out the rest of the garage and started on the basement. The basement is filled with sound and a/v equipment from the church. It was a big task. Took most of the day. Joe and Joe knocked a couple of other tasks off our list and Pattie was also hard at work. We got a lot done and our to-do list got much shorter.
• They started our roof late Friday afternoon and worked till they ran out of shingles on Sat. Finally finished on Monday. It looks great.
• Sunday, we installed a dishwasher. I say "we" but I mainly watched my friend, Jim Warrington, do most of the work.
• Monday, Pattie and I took Ben to Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, GA. It's about 2 hours away. Ben has a basketball scholarship there. Nice but small school. He was able to get an apartment which is as close to the school as most of the dorms. It's good to see him back at school and pursuing his dreams.
• Jim and I were going to take Ben's bed and desk to him tonight since his apartment is unfurnished. But the rain made us put that off until tomorrow.
• Pressure washer guy is coming Thursday and hopefully we will have a sign in the yard by the weekend.
  
• My friend, Dwayne, told me that I should stop working on the house and just put a sign up. He says God wants to sell my house but all my fix-it stuff is holding up progress. I'm starting to believe that.
• And in the midst of all this, the other things of life are happening. I'm still pastoring a small group and driving a bus twice a day and getting my ice coffee. Plus trying to plan for Denver.
  
• You all can put your violins away now, I know that you are busy, too.
