WOW, crazy couple of days. Let me start by saying that whole feeding 4000 and then feeding 5000, pretty darn impressive. My wife and I had to feed 40 people on Sunday and it took just about everything we had. I have to give my wife props, she is a wizard in the kitchen. Chicken in Wine Sauce with Mashed Potatoes (thank you, Paula) and carrots. It was very good. It was also very tiring. I arrived at the church at 7:20AM to setup sound. Then I ran sound for both services, stayed for the annual meeting at 12:30, started setting up for the dinner right after the annual meeting, ran all over the south metro getting last minute supplies ("Corkscrew? The church kitchen doesn't have a corkscrew?!?"), served the dinner at 6:00, washed dishes as they came back (thank you, Cathy), served dessert, washed dishes as they came back, they washed 60+ glasses and 40 coffee cups when the class ended at 9:00. We got out of there at about 10:00. I was in the church, serving, for almost 15 hours. Ago ministro, indeed.

And then Charlie was sick, coughing. He woke up in the middle of the night in bad shape. In the morning, he had dry heaves (he hadn't been eating much). There may be worse things than seeing your 7-year-old have the dry heaves, but I don't want to think about them. Luckily, he sleep all morning and was feeling much better by the afternoon.

Oh, and Friday night Rand had his first lock-in with the youth group, although it took place at Welsh Village. We messed up the time, and so I had to drive him down there and he was about 2 hours late, but he got there just in time for his lesson and he got to hang out with Joe all night, so it worked out really well. I was so happy for him. What a blessing!
