Very late start this morning-up on and off through the night. Now setting my mind on things above. # Well my computer would not start this morning-it just started now. Whew! I’ve got some last minute prep for a finance meeting then church. # Good night of fellowship with the Lord’s people at church. Now to help get the kids to sleep. # To bed. I’m done. # Up to begin the day-but barely. This is why Monday is never a day off-who wants to feel this bad on their day off? # It is very quiet here tonight-about to enjoy a pizza with Kel and Brie. # Had a fun time at the park this afternoon-what a gorgeous day! http://twitpic.com/1b30l # Headed to bed to get a good night’s rest ahead of tomorrow’s events. # Pt 1-Thanks to all for their prayers today. Kel and I are headed to court, very confident in the goodness of the Lord # Pt 2-pray for the kids-they will be at court today. # Headed in-I don’t have access to Twitter while in the building-so we’ll tweet when it’s over. # Hearing has gone for over an hour-broke for lunch-I will be on the witness stand and examined by 5 attorneys-only one on our side. Pray. # Just out of court-no ruling-wevhave to come back tomorrow for the judge to rule. Girls are with us for tonight. # Getting my lesson work finished for tonight as well as prep for a few meetings beforehand-then to relax before heading to the hearing. # Headed back to court to hear the judge’s ruling. Very...

Many of you know that Kelly and I have been involved in fostering children over the past two years. Since we began this journey, we have had five children in our home. Our first, Brie, is now our own. Six months after receiving Brie, we received Lizzy, she was five days old. We were told it would only be a one week stay. One week has turned to over a year and a half. A month and a half ago, we received her older sister into our home. The Lord was very kind to give us opportunity to thoroughly share the gospel on more than one occasion with the birth father. Until this week, our relationship with him has been very positive. Due to our concerns about an immediate return of the children to his care, we did retain an attorney and wanted the court to hear our concerns. We have known that the county social workers and attorneys were pushing for an immediate return of the children to the birth father without transition. Yesterday we had our day in court. Today the Judge gave his ruling. Here is the note we just sent to our church family in regard to our recent court activity to retain our foster daughters Lizzy and Jade. Thank you all for your wonderful encouragement and prayers. Today the Judge presiding over Lizzy and Jade”™s future ordered that both of the girls be immediately placed with their birth father under what is called a Family Maintenance plan. This means the children will remain dependents of the county, but under the full time and constant...

A little under the weather this morning-the plan is to drink orange juice and read-nothing else-that should help. # Sluggish this morning, but I’m up-prepping for a long day ahead. # Headed to church for the first service. # Had an enjoyable Lord’s day morning around the Lord’s Table-then a good planning session for future Sunday School ministry-now for a nap. # so much for a nap-watched part iv of HBO’s John Adams-this is a GREAT series. # Finished a good day with God’s people. Now to get the kids down and have a bite to eat with Kel. The girls NEED to go to bed NOW # Slept in a bit this morning-but ready to get the day started. Looks to be a full day of meetings and admin. # Off to the Pastors’ Council meeting, my first this year. We’ll review sermons, pray for our members and discuss ministry for the week. # Headed to lunch with our deacons overseeing benevolence. # Back at the office to catch up on a mountain of admin work from the past two weeks-wow, I’m so far behind. # Home for some family time # Didn’t sleep too well-maybe I’m anxious about the inauguration-naw-I think it was the cough and sneezing. # In the word and prayer this morning – praying for incoming President Obama and outgoing President Bush. Grateful for our country. # Headed in to the office-admin then two back to back meetings. # Kel is at Bible study-I just put the girls down. Will they stay down?
