Well, it has been way too long since I've had a chance, read that to mean energy, to post. The girls--and boy--are on vacation and I can actually find my two brain cells long enough to get them to spark a little. Since the last post, the biggest news has been the addition of our latest. William LeGrand Steele IV was born June 17, 2007. You can read the full, harrowing story at Kerri's blog (check the links). We have been adjusting to this ever since.

Of note was getting to see Josh Young worship and John Paul Jackson talk last night and this morning. I had contacted Josh a few months back about a musican I heard at church. He said to say hey when he came to town. I actually stayed home from vacation so I could go to the Streams night of worship. It was a hard decision but I was so determined to go to the night of worship, it was not much of a choice.

Anyhow, the worship was amazing. I knew Josh had a powerful presence of the Spirit on him, but, I've been longing for great worship for months and hearing him play was so refreshing! Praise God for good worship.

John Paul talked this morning on faith. It was a good sermon for me. Like so many other things lately, his teaching helped to crystalize some ideas very soundly in my mind. Below is a general outline of what he taught on. It was refreshing for me and it gave me a chance to see some things I believe will help through the next couple of weeks (read that to mean "season").
