This morning Tim is preaching from Joshua 3&4 as we officially begin this closing season at Otter Creek. He's using the story of Joshua leading the people through the Jordan and into their new home. It's a GREAT metaphor for where we currently are. The series will be called "Crossing the Creek". We have a short 3 more Sundays together here at this building and then the real party starts!

Yesterday we went and celebrated again with Geof and Amanda at their Nashville wedding reception. It was a lot of fun--catered by Blue Coast Burrito (a.k.a. Baja Burrito franchised). I was in need of some good Mexican food!

Last night I took Maddie and Ella over to my mom's. She needed help getting the Christmas tree down and the girls LOVE going over there. Sam was ready for bed so Sheryl stayed home with him. The girls played "tea party" with Aunt Maude's old tea set (my grandmother's sister who would probably cringe at the thought. Her furniture even had plastic covers). They jumped on the bed (only at Nonnie's house) and they had fruities. I'm so glad they love going.

This afternoon we begin a two week period of tours through the new building. I'm stationed in the sanctuary today charged with casting a vision for what things might look like and feel like in there. It will be a neat day.

Blessings to all--
