Moments

Wow, this was a busy week, but a good one.  Here are just a few of the special moments:

• Thursday Jon and I were able to take in an Indians game.  Go Tribe!  There were two rain delays in the fourth inning.  Finally, after over 5 hours, the Indians beat the Rays.  In fact, it was their first sweep of the season.  Despite the weather, we had a good time.
• We left from there and headed toward Fort Wayne for a Haiti conference.  It was a great father and son weekend.
• We visited a Bass Pro shop.  That was fun.
• Did some geocaching along the way to break up the trip.
• It was great to meet with other people who are passionate about Haiti.  Pastor Touloute and his whole family were there.  It was good to see Jean and the boys.
• Good decisions were made and I look forward to see how we can work together.  There are high hopes for Haiti.
• Jon and I were given tickets to a car show and auction.  It was not quite what we expected.  There were some absolutely beautiful cars.  We saw one sell for $440,000 and a few for over $200,000.  The ranged from Lamborghinis to 1904 racer (which sold for $440,000).  Anyway, I made sure Jon kept his hands in his pockets.  We had a great time.  Now imagine around 800 cars being auctioned that day and it was a four day event.  A lot of money went through that place.  I guess the economy isn’t affecting us all the same.  I think I broke the 10th Commandment.  I had to pray about that.
• We decided to head out very early and go to church in Ohio at the first congregation I served.  Turned out to be confirmation Sunday.  They confirmed three girls, all of whom I baptized.  What a surprise.  It was fun to see them and their families.
• A friend invited us to lunch afterward and to a Corvette car show.  He happens to have one.  I began to detect a theme.  Maybe God is trying to tell me to get a “man” car.  I figure it is useless to fight Him in this.
