I was up until 2:30 last night grouting the tile.  So now we have a floor back in the kitchen.  Yeah!  That means I can get the cabinets installed and we can move the things that go in the cabinets out of the garage and into the kitchen.  Yeah!!  It also means we can have a sink in the kitchen and bring in the dishwasher from the back porch and not wash dishes in the bathroom anymore.  Yeah!!!

So all this started when we thought a construction crew was coming.  We started getting things ready for them so they could open up our kitchen/dining/living room areas.  This was driven by the need for good ministry space.

Well, the construction crew didn’t come and so we became the construction crew.  It is not good timing for such things, since we have been in the middle of a semester, but the damage had been done.  So things get done during free moments -  of which there are not many. I won’t quite make the thanksgiving deadline, but should be almost there.  maybe all but the countertops.

If you need any thoughts on kitchen stuff, I might have some.

I admit readily that I am a bad blogger.  I think about it quite a bit.  The little blog elves that are supposed to read my thoughts and turn them into meaningful blog entries have left the house since we started redoing our kitchen.

Ministry has been moving at full pace.  Table talk Tuesdays have been up and down, but today we looked at how the Bible we read was put together.  Our next topic will be ‘does God hear the prayers of non-believers?’   We have been going through 2 Timothy at our weekly meetings and I spoke last week and will speak tomorrow.

the freshmen bible study has also been really good.  they group of guys we have is a good group to have and build on.  Kind of like a great freshmen recruiting class.  I wish I could redshirt some of them.

Pray for the several students who are around and close to following Jesus - R. and M. especially.  They are very close to being ready to commit to Jesus.
