At our youth service on Sunday night we did a “Night of One-Thousand Thanks”. We invited parents to this event and had more than 10 sets of parents come to join us for the worship experience. We ended the evening with communion and acoustic worship. It was an intimate time and a great expression of our gratitude to the One who gives us life.

More pictures from the event are here.

Here I sit at the Bluffton Public Library loving their free Wireless ‘net!

We’ve been here since Saturday night and are having a great time already!

We’ll be heading to Pennsylvania before we know it and enjoy visiting a whole new set of family!

Here’s a shot of the Garrett/Sheets/Halt family:

Because I’m Daddy.

More here, of course.

Tonight Jess and I enjoyed the Mukwonago High School rendition of “The Miracle Worker” – the story of Helen Keller, who I’m not sure why but during the perfomance tonight I realized I had a childhood fascination with this story. Anyone in my family want to clue me into the “why”?

Anyways, as any good youth pastor would do, i snapped a large number of photos during the performance (only one flash, oops!) and some of them turned out! Click the image below to see the album.
