October 7, 2007—Thanksgiving Sunday




We have a wonderful series of Thanksgiving services today at church. It’s so good to be back with my friends at Northside. Both, Kelly’s (our eldest daughter) and Max’s (her son who is now 7) birthdays fall on the Thanksgiving weekend, so our turkey dinners are also birthday dinners. Max wanted Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie for his birthday cake! He’s now enjoying grade 2 along with soccer, hockey and piano lessons.
After Max’s celebration, Susan and I gave all the kids gifts we brought home from Europe. They all are Manchester United fans so we bought the boys jersey’s from Italy. When we were there Alex sent me an email to ask if we’d bought them a gift. I emailed him back and said there was a sale on the Turkey Football team jerseys. He was so afraid he’d have to wear their team shirts to school. You should have seen the relief when he opened up his Man U jersey. Madeline and Victoria got “Ciao Bella” t-shirts because they are our princesses.
Office Renos
Before we left for Europe I lost my office at the church because we are expanding our sanctuary to hold another 225 seats. When we purchased our new office space for the National Church I was relieved that I’d have a place to hang my hat—and then we began renos there. Here’s what our new offices looked like last week. The plan is that they will be finished for convention next week! We’ll see! Open House is next Friday, so please pray.
