Im going to be leaving My Job....

After a long time of praying and waiting, the right time has come for me to quit working at Baldwins Automotive. It has been a very good job, and God definately put us in the right place at the right time. Now he has led us to persue our Advantage Conferences business, and Green Cylinder Heads on a full time basis. God has also shown me some areas of ministry that I will be able to do with a more flexible schedule, and more time.
Our life over the past year has been a whirlwind, but I can honestly say that Ive grown in Christ more this year than in my entire life. My understanding of who God is, how He works, and what faith is really all about has really changed.
Please pray for us, it is very exciting, and we are boldly walking forward in Christ.

Im a Binge reader

When it comes to novels, I confess that Im a binge reader. For example: Angie has been telling me for quite a while that I needed to read Ted Dekkers "Black, Red, and White" series of books. Friday evening after the kids were tucked in, Angie was sitting down to read a book, so I picked up "Black" and started to read. I crawled into bed around 3:30 am, having read all but a chapter. I would have finished it but I was having trouble focusing and I was out of coffee. Saturday evening, Angie wasnt feeling well, So I sat by her in bed and read over half of "red". Sunday was the same story, but I havent quite finished "Red" yet.
Im sure tonight ill read some more, and the series will be finished in the next several days.
Its excellent, by the way. If you like CS Lewis alegory, combined with a modern suspense/thriller, you will love these books.

Winter has arrived!

We finally have had some cold weather and snow. I was beginning to wonder:). We have had several inches of snow in the past 10 days and the temps this week have been in the single digits to teens.

The girls have started going to Good News Club every Thursday afternoon. Our church started it this month as a new outreach for the community. It has been going very well, with plenty of kids. While the girls are gone, Angie gets to spend some one on one time with Caleb. They both really enjoy it.
Thats all for now....

Friends dont let friends go to Jiffy Lube!!

This is why I always cringe when someone tells me they take their cars to quick lube shops. Please take your car to a real mechanic, even for an oil change. Its not worth saving a few dollars, or at least you think you are. We get cars in all the time that were "serviced" by Quick lube shops, and we have to clean up the mess.
