A very eventful and interesting few days. We got most of our stuff moved into the new apartment and are pleased with it. However, the air conditioning is not working! They're putting in a new unit today so we'll be good to go but we couldn't sleep in it again last night. We packed up the car and "camped out" in the house we've been living in. Yep, air mattress, sheets, a few clothes and of course, enough coffee for Jen's morning fix. It was a pleasant night's sleep though so worth it.
Yesterday at church it was announced that I'll be serving as the interim minister. I think the congregation is pleased and we're all excited about the next few months together at Harvest. I'll also be teaching a class on Wednesday nights entitled, "grasping God's word," which will focus on how to study the Bible rather than on a book or a theme. The elders and leadership agreed that this would be great for the whole congregation to share in and I'm very excited about leading it. So, I'll get opportunities to teach and preach, gaining valuable experience and learning along the way.
Today here at the coffee shop, in between customers I've been watching the live video feed from the CBS affiliate in New Orleans as hurricane Katrina blasts that area. There are already lots of sad stories coming in and I hope that in response there will be much compassion and love as people help put lives back together. Guess that's all for now. Stay in touch.
