Yeah, I didnt post any numbers 4 ya

I am still in Florida and don't really have any numbers...OH Wait, I did hear the attendance! Are you ready? are you sitting down? OK, God blessed us with 189 in service this weekend! I think they must have know I wasn't going to be there :)

Anyway, Sheila and I are heading back on Thursday, I know its turkey day but we figured it was the best day for traveling. Nobody going to work and everyone to stuffed to drive. We made it here in about 10 hours thanks to Sheila and her...creative driving skills! I think I may let her drive home!

Hey you want to see some Christmas lights?


Yeah, I know, Its Tampa traffic again. It only gets this way when you are trying to get somewhere!

STOP COMPLAINING

about the so called 5:00 traffic on Firetower and Evens! You do not have a traffic problem, you are not backed up and you dont need another lane! When I come back to Florida I laugh at our little Greenville traffic. It doesn't take long to remember how bad the roads are here. No matter where you are going, you better plan on at least an hour to get there,



But look at that skyline. Remember, I was raised in New Bern. These are the first "big buildings" I ever saw. I actually got to work in one of them on the 38th out of 42 floors. Man was that high! and they sway to the wind too.

the left behinds

ok, you you N.C. people know us as the N.C. church plant but here is a little look at what we left behind:
here is Chelsea, David on drums and Nathan on base. These guys are my x-Awana kids and Jasons X-youth. We watch these guys grow up into young adults and now they are leading youth praise. We really miss them and love seeing them when we come down for work. When we pull up, they almost tackle us to the ground with hugs. I cant believe how much they have grown. Most of them are Driving cars!

anyway here's a few blurry phone pics



BTW, Blame Jason for the decorating! OK people, he's GONE PAINT ALREADY!!!

Little more time

I have been prying a little more "Claude Time" out of my week here lately. I have been getting a lot of stuff done, I worked on the truck, helped a friend with his 67 Mustang and got started on the children's church install stuff. It all sounds like work but to me this stuff is relaxing (when NOT rushed). I even got a little time to just lay out on the swing. It was nice out and the clouds were refreashing to see:

anyway, just keep this between us, if Jason finds out he will either give me more to do or want to come play. So lets keep this on the down low.

Ok, Change of subject: Since I posted the sky, I was reminded of the other night at Youth Group, someone called us outside to see something and everyone ran out there. We were greeted by such an awesome sky that I had to take a picture of it. Disclaimer: [Not for me...I am a MAN and don't get into "pretty sky's and stuff" and things in general just arnt "pretty"] but I took it for you, my fans who just may not be as manly as I am, and just may find stuff pretty.

camera phone and dog w/a bone

I gave Jack Jack his first real bone...Dog went wild! You whould have though it his last meal.





Sorry bout the fuzzy pics but the dog would not be still.
