Just Chillin'

While we are reminded of the great sacrifices of those who have gone before us on Memorial Day,(or as Addi says, "Memorio Day") it is also great to have a day to just pretty much chill out.
The last couple of weeks proved pretty stressful, because of the busy time, appointing new church leaders and Mom's fall. With appointing new church elders and deacons, all went great. But some past experiences, as well as the experience of others have made me a little gun shy about it. We have 2 new elders at Sylvan Springs. I know that Marty Glenn and Mark Wylie will do a great job. They both have the knowledge, love for God and his people, and the heart to do it. 3 new deacons include Brian Maddox, Paul Kelsey, and Josh Courington. These guys are have already been taking a lead in the church and are hard workers. We are fortunate to have them. Congratulations to all of you guys.
Another factor in last weeks stress was Mom took a bad fall on Wednesday. A terrible knot on the head resulted, but a catscan showed no serious injury. Her face was about 75% black by Saturday. I have seen many serious car wreck victims that looked better, but thankfully there were no breaks. Actually, she and Dad seemed to be doing pretty good by weeks end.
The swimming pool is ready, the grands are coming over, pork chops and fish that Josh caught last week at the gulf are in the plans- just chillin' is great.
