Reasons To Be Happy

I am head over heals for my daughter
My little girl was getting sick yesterday and started to sound like she was getting laryngitis. I felt bad for her yet everytime she opened her mouth to talk, I thought she was the cutest thing in the world. She woke up this morning feeling great so I'm happy for that. My parents are in North Carolina now and the cutest thing she says happens after I mention that they're coming...she says, "I like Grandpa Ebeling" with this endearing look. I can't hardly stand it.

Speaking of Grandpa, he's taking us to the circus
It's been a while since I've been to a circus so I'm actually excited, maybe even more so than my kids. They were hoping Grandpa was going to bring some guns they could shoot, not take them to the circus. We all love animals though, so being close to lions and tigers and elephants will still be cool.

It looks like some help might be on the way
I can't say too much yet because there are still questions that need to be answered and a process to follow, but at this stage it looks like we may very likely be helping to start a new church and "hiring" one or even two new people for the Discovery Church team. The two potential positions would be a Connection Pastor and a Student Pastor. I'm so excited about this and hope that we can work everything out. They both know that since we're only three weeks old, actually presenting them with a job offer and package is not really a possibility and they'll need to raise most if not all of their own support. The fact that we're still even talking is reason enough to be happy....I mean, you have to be crazy to do this, right?

Anyhow, have a great day. I know I will.
