Today's blessings

All of our house guests got off to the airport this morning. It was nice to have family visiting (we got to play cards several times, went to Galveston one day, even all pitched in for some heavy-duty house-cleaning), but now we can get things kind of back to normal. Actually, we're trying to get things in tip-top-shape so that we can put our house on the market.

Seemed like a great time of worship Sunday (especially during 2nd service). The video testimony of Jeff Pleshek was especially heart-touching and inspiring. Jeff has some sort of untreatable or incurable brain cancer, but also has a great faith in God!

Wherever I go, I'm sure gonna miss the excellent video production done by Cindy Cochran. She typically produces two special videos per week (writing scripts, shooting the footage, then editing/mixing the finished product) and they are incredibly well done!

Our church staff ate lunch today at the new Red Robin here in The Woodlands. Red Robin was one of our favorite restaurants back in Portland (in fact, Lani & I ate our first meal together there as a married couple -- we were going to eat at a fancy restaurant, but opted at the last minute to go to a favorite place where we were comfortable). Sitting in this new Red Robin (it opened two days ago), I was reminded of many other times, places, & people that I've eaten with at Red Robin. It was a good flood of memories!
