Church talk and a new bed

Hello There Cyberspace,

I know I said I’d try, but I managed to not get in an entry last week. Oh well.

Let me give you an update on where I stand now…I am all moved in at Brad’s, actually I’ve been all moved in for a few days, but by moved in, I mean all my stuff is in the garage and I’m living out of my suitcases in Brad’s guest room. Even though it’s Brad’s guest room, it’s way nicer than my room was in my apartment, some of the biggest differences are…a way bigger bed that’s in way better shape, this room has a door (my room in my apartment was separated from the living room by a set of stairs) and I don’t have to go up and down a set of stairs to get to the bathroom. It was only 3 steps up and 3 steps down, and not a big deal now, but when I was on crutches for months, it was a huge pain.

Less than three weeks till I move back t New Hampshire! I’m pretty excited! I will miss my friends and my church down here, but I’m happy to be able to see folks from New England that I haven’t seen in a while, and very excited to see how God will use me as I minister with Coastlands.

I spoke in church on Sunday and I thought it went very well. I started off with playing a little Bible Ball, some “What’s Wrong with This Picture?” and a Funky Food object lesson. I will hopefully be able to get the recording online soon, I’m still working on the best way to do that.

Not much else is going on, I’m sorting through my stuff to see what else I can get rid of, I’ve already taken 4 boxes of stuff over to the local thrift shop and I imagine more will go over there soon.

I ended up needing to get rid of my bed, it was in pretty terrible shape and it wasn’t worth bringing it with me, so if anyone knows of someone who has a bed available to donate, I would take it off your hands! I’ve been on a twin bed for years, and my bedroom will be kind of small, so a twin bed would probably be best for me. It would be awesome if the bed were in easy driving distance of Manchester, NH also.

Well, I’m going to get going, it’s starting to thunder here and I don’t like to keep my computer on during a thunderstorm.

Have a great day!

Back to technology

Hello Cyberspace,

Can’t write long because I’m in the middle of packing to move, but I wanted to at least get an update out.

I spent last week with my folks at our cottage in Vermont, my friend, Brad and I went up. It was a good week, the weather was cool and sometimes rainy, but I’d actually rather have that than hot and humid. I was mostly without technology the whole week, no internet, not even a cell phone signal at the cottage. I managed to get to Panera Bread on Thursday to at least check e-mail on my iPod. I did have my iPod with me all week, but without internet, all I could do is listen to music and watch movies. I did read, I read 4 books, about 1400 pages. When I finally settle back in New England in August, I think I might not put a TV in my bedroom, I think that’ll cause me to read more.

Probably the biggest news I got last week was that Pam bought a house! Now Coastlands has a ministry base!! Praise God!!! That means that instead of moving to Vermont with my parents, I’ll be moving into the upstairs apartment at the Coastlands house. I’m happy about that. I mean I love my parents and would have happily moved in there, but I wasn’t 100% happy about it. After living on my own for a decade, it would have felt like I was taking a big step backward to move back in with them.

Well, that’s about it from me, Saturday I move in at Brad’s in Souderton, then in August, up to Manchester, NH!

Have a great day!
