It's Been A While

Well, I guess it's high time I made use of this web log. I've been back from California for about a week now. The weather has cooled off since I left, and we are enjoying the autumn season for the first time in many years. The cool days, colorful leaves, and windy afternoons are welcome changes. Taylor is thinking already that it's cold, but I'm afraid he has no idea what cold really is! Since his last winter was at age four, he's having a hard time remembering just how cold winter will be. He is looking forward to learning to snowboard, and I hope we'll get up to Bogus Basin a couple times this winter. He's only got two more football games this season, and it's not as light or as warm at practice any more. He continues to do well with football, but I'm not sure he'll want to do it again this year. I'm glad he played this year, and it's been a positive learning experience for him.

The boys continue to do very well in school. Both are making excellent grades, and have adjusted well to some very dramatic changes. I'm really looking forward to living in the new house, so we don't have to drive them to school each day. That is taking quite a bit of time and gas money, but we feel it is very well worth it to keep them in the same school all year long.

We continue to attend the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Boise. I'm going to the men's Thursday morning Bible study, and Ellyn is attending a two-year long Bible class on Wednesday evenings. We've had a chance to share with the missions team what we are doing with MAF, and we're hoping before too long that we'll be able to share with the congregation. We getting closer to our support raising goals, and we still need more people to join our team. We're excited about the progress we've seen so far, and we continue asking the Lord to allow us to reach our full support goal by December.
