Guests
In which Chris and Mark fall victim to the distinction of being our first non-family guests
Worship an' folk ... yea baby
"We three kings of orient are ..."
"I want to live in a house like that where love wears out our welcome mat" - Donovan Chapman
Yeah, I'm STILL unpacking
Stuff
My gallant wife tackling Quick Books. I'm impressed!
Ah ... tis the season
Things start to come together
Money stuff
Does doing your finances every make you feel like a lowly dungeon keeper?
The keeper in peril
What?A Sunday Afternoon
My summary of Mark Itterman's message on Philipians 2
Companion of destiny
Following their recent trip to Russia, Josh & Matthew come back laden with gifts, chocolate and stories of God's work in that tired land.
A captive audience (amazing how a couple pieces of chocolate can boost audience attentiveness)
Very attentive!
Gifts
Matthew unlocks my passion. One of the few "junk food" things I'll eat. BUT, if it's any less then 75% cocoa ... it's TOO sweet.
The eyes ... definitely the eyes.
The stinging reality of brotherly affection
A blessed birch broach (ok, ok a necklace to be sure, but since necklace starts with N, I'd 'ave had to of said something like a Nifty Nerdy Necklace and that just isn't working for me)
"You should put this on your dresser so that you don't lose it" - Wisdom from a 4 year old
Sharing from their diaries
Artistic attentiveness
A duly blotted entry
Fantastic Footage for the Fanatic (after 3 hours, I ceased to be a fanatic and fixed Marscel's airsoft gun with him) - In all seriousness, their trip blessed them as much or more then those they went to bless. They were challenged. I think the biggest challenge they all faced was, as good and necessary as this trip was, what needs are HERE? Are we missing the opportunity's at the tip of our own noses.
Well folks, that's all for now, y'all come again, ya hear?

Hello Folks,
.
I hope all is well in the great wide world.
.
I am enjoying unpacking. There is still so much to do. Today, we started to learn about how we will do our finances. Isn't money fun to deal with? Well, maybe if Quickbooks is thing. Which is good since I like Quickbooks.
.
Please do keep us in prayer! I don't think I've ever thought about so many things at once.
.
As always,
Love In Christ Jesus,
Michael & Rebekah Thomas

Trying to maintin self control with a meal that is simply tantalizing
