Some of you may be wondering how it's going with my article on Exodus 22:18. Well, I'm still writing. I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to devote as much time to it, but it's coming along!
I'll keep you posted...

House Showing...Again!
Well, the same people that looked at our house yesterday came back to look again. Well, not everyone...the young man didn't bring his wife and child, but brought his dad along to look our house over.
They arrived about 5:45pm and spent about an hour in the house and asked lots of questions. I think that everything went well and hope that this will be the couple that buys our house.
I'll keep you updated!

Pastors Just Work On Sundays and Wednesdays?
As a continuing process for my internship/mentor program for the KSOM, I met my pastor at our church this morning at 8:30am. I thought that he was just going to speak with me for thirty minutes or so and then I would head back home. Wrong! Pastor asked me what I had going on until around 2:00pm. I said, "oh, nothing." So he said I could just hang out with him and shadow him to get a taste of what he does on a typical day. For fun, I decided to log everything that happened for the day. Our day was packed...take a look!

If anyone thinks that a pastor just sits around with his feet propped up and just works for a couple of hours on Sunday and Wednesday should definitely hang out with a pastor for a couple of hours to find out the truth!
