Back to the Grind...

Forgive me for not posting anything sooner.  I returned from Guatemala late Saturday night and I have been slow to get back into the swing of things.  The good part was that my Mom stayed until Tuesday and I didn't have to work on Monday, so I got to spend a little extra time with her.  And I only had to work one day this week. I am  out of sorts from being away on such an intense trip for 9 days.  So its starting to feel like I'm getting back to the grind of everyday life.  I guess next week, with a regular schedule, should help.

IMG_9281 For those of you wondering, Guatemala was beautiful!  Here is a picture with 2 other team members, Julie and Carrie, overlooking the valley on the way to Chipel, the aldea our sister church was located in.   I plan to post a lengthier blog entry with a lot more details/highlights of the trip this weekend, so be on the lookout!  I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Tessa woke up this morning with the yuckiest croupy cough (funny how quickly it started, she was fine last night) and she's had a pretty bad diaper rash for a week now (her first!) so we are off to the doctor this afternoon.  So its definitely back to the daily grind of life. Believe it or not, I like the regular routine of things.  I just have to get myself back into that routine!

Our Great God

Astronomers have stumbled upon a tremendous hole in the universe. That's got them scratching their heads about what's just not there. The cosmic blank spot has no stray stars, no galaxies, no sucking black holes, not even mysterious dark matter. It is 1 billion light years across of nothing. That's an expanse of nearly 6 billion trillion miles of emptiness, a University of Minnesota team announced Thursday."
Very interesting. Click here for the full story.



"He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17

Future Preacher!


I went to camp this week in Quakertown, PA. I had a ton of fun but the best was a preaching contest. In the beginning of the week my cabin went on a hike through the woods and we came across several huge boulders. They didn't look like they belonged there. I preached about how the only way these boulders could have been moved there was with water current and that the flood could have moved them there. I talked about how even a walk through the woods can prove creation. - Christopher

Honeymooners come home!

3:30 AM, 8/12/07, 31 Hrs. in transit. Left Athens to Paris, got there and a service car ran into the plane and the flight was cancelled. Now had to wait many hours for flight to NY. Then van ride for 3 Hrs. to Phila. Mom and Dad went to pick up and deliver home or they would have another 5 hour wait for train service. Still turned out to be a 12 hr. delay. They looked tired but happy. Becca got in their house and said at 4:45, "I'm wide awake." Brian goes back to work 8:00 on Monday morning. See what they say then. If you can go throught that and still smile, good start!

Brian and Becca


We are all still in the process of going through all the pictures everybody took at the wedding, but I wanted to upload at least one. This picture was taken at the reception. You can also go to the photographers site to see a few pictures they have uploaded. http://www.stringerphotography.net/
