For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Today began with some EC Dropping and then this post.
Later we will be heading to Nick’s final soccer game of the season. He is really doing well. This is the first sport he has kept excitement about throughout the whole season. Basketball is next starting this Wednesday.
Later today we are heading to the Good Zoo at Oglebay for Boo at the Zoo. The kids get to dress up and walk through the zoo collecting candy along the way. We also ride the train while we are there. It is a great time.
Does not sound busy by the number of things, but it will definitely be a long day.
Donovan has already shown us that he is in his stubborn, insubordinate mood today. Looks like some time out time will be handed out in between the events of the day.
Add a couple of icky sinus issue fighting parents and it makes for a long day.

Saturday evening… cold, rainy, and boring (as usual)
Kim and I took the boys to McDonald’s for their Bakugan
Anywho
We had not been home more than an hour when our Minister calls and asks me how quickly I could set up the portable sound system in an alternate location… Of course I asked him why etc.
It appears our sewer system has a bit of a clog (i.e. we may need to tear up the parking lot) and we might to use the auditorium of what used to be the local elementary school.
This also means that since there is no piano in the auditorium, our praise team would need to come up with songs for the morning service.
It took until about 7 PM to get permission and locate a key to the building, so we will start the timer at 7:30…
7:30 – arrive at the Church and collect the portable sound system
8:00 - arrive at the new location, set up chairs, tables, and sound system
8:30 – back to the Church for the drum kit and other odds and ends
9:00 – take my oldest son home (I am so thankful for him…)
9:10 – back to the new location to choose songs
** so it took about an hour and a half to move and set up – pretty good if you ask me, God is powerful!
we did spend a little time chit chatting about what other concerns this move may bring so not all of
the time was spent moving and setting up…
9:45 – home to make slides
11:45 – 88 powerpoint slides later – BED
Praise God for taking a cold, rain, boring Saturday evening and turning it into an adventure.
Thanks go to Nick (my 9 year old), Jerry, and Kyle for pitching in and getting the job done.
It is my prayer that the people of our Church remember not who moved the stuff, but that by the stuff being moved, that it is not where we have worship but whom we have worship with that makes a church.

p.s. I will try to get some pictures and video from this mornings service…
