It has been a crazy past couple of weeks as we role through the beginning of November. towards the end of October i took a trip with some other pastors from the Evangelical free church to a conference in Michigan. It was a good experience to get to know some new faces and familiarize myself with the EFCA environment. Plus i didn’t have to drive, so that was almost worth it. Almost because the older i get the less flexible i get, the harder it is for me to climb into the back seat of a church van and sit for 4 hours.

Then on October 29, my son turned 7. Holy Crap! where did 1-6 go? He’s riding a bike, he tied his friends shoes at his party and he is figuring out how to work the Dish remote. good news is that he still needs help wiping his own butt. so we still feel needed from time to time. For his birthday we bought him a refurbished 8 gb itouch so he could listen to music or watch a movie on the bus. I brought a tear to my eye to watch him use it (he is a chip off the old block).

The other exciting thing was that we had a bon-fire for Caleb’s birthday and then invited both of the ministries we worked with over the past years out to catch up and hang out. it was a blast to see people again and to watch the 2 groups interact. all in all, good times!

But the reason for the blog title was because i was able to purchase a new macbook pro laptop for myself and i’m SUPER excited about it. i’ve spent the week transfering items from my old work computer, portable hard drive, and our imac. Now i’m trying to organize them and figure out what programs are out there for my mac. size wise, i got the 15“ because it is still portable, but i don’t have to use a magnify glass to see the screen. did i mention that i’m SUPER excited about it? i’ll explain in another blog how i could afford it... thats exciting also.
