Absent

I've been gone for a while...I don't think I've blogged in a few months. Not much new other than God's grace every morning.....below is my attempt at an update or random facts from the last few months.

Update:

-praying for and giving to Haiti

-listening to William Fitzsimmons pretty much non stop (for the last year)

-love Adrienne more today than last time I blogged

-love my kids ALOT

-the church is the only institution God promises to bless

-Jesus and His church are sure things, and that's about it

-reading is my 3rd favorite thing

-I don't day dream about moving to another city any more

-the church has to BE the mission of God

-when not listening to William Fitzsimmons, I'm listening to other sad folk music

-I love pizza ALOT (not as much as my kids, but ALOT)

-I'm wiser today at 30 than I was at 29 and pretty sure this pattern will continue

-God freaking loves me and He freaking loves you, so talk to Him

-beer is proof God loves us. :)

-I like music

-I have fallen in love all over again with reading the scriptures.

-I miss my brother

-I miss my sister

-I miss my mom

-I miss my dad (Sept 13th, 1999)

-even though I don't day dream about moving anymore, I still think about New York ALOT

-I've learned that character is way more important than reputation

-even my closest friends and I have a hard time getting together on a regular basis, which is sad

-I want to be a good dad. somedays I am, and somedays I'm not

well, that's it for now. I know those thoughts were random, but it was good for me to get them out.

grace and peace,

matt
