School, Church, and other stuff

Back to school, back to school, that is everyone that is in school. Casey started seminary classes back up this week. He likes all of his classes and was so happy to get reacquainted with friends. He will be done with his Master's come May. Then, who knows what is in store for us. Kind of excited to see what is next, if there is any immediate change at all.

Sometimes I want to move closer to home as soon as Casey is finished with school. Then there are times when I want to stay right where we are because I have grown to love the area, the church, and the people we are close to. I guess it just depends on the day. I will say that wherever we end up, it is because God has called us there to minister, and that I can be sure of!

Church went really well last night. Casey talked about a verse in Romans. The verse was Romans 1:21-23. He focused a lot on how we as Christians trade God in for images made to look like Him, when we know the actual truth of what is right from wrong. For example, t.v shows. We know what is appropriate to watch and what is not, but sometimes we take the inappropriate route because it is easier to just do it and worry about it later. Or maybe when we hang out with a group of friends that talk about something we know is not good to discuss, such as gossip, but we ignore that it isn't right just for a while and do it anyway. It was a good lesson, and it was neat to see the kids in the youth respond the way they did. It really opened my eyes to some things in my life too.

Casey is performing his first baptism this coming Sunday. He will be baptizing two of the youth members in our church that accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior this summer at church camp. It is an exciting event and another step for these youth members. It is a blessing to me to be able to walk with these kids in their Christian life. Seeing them grow spiritually is an amazing thing, and watching Casey teach them and love them is even more rewarding.

On another note, I thought I'd change my layout. I wanted something different. I like the colors a lot! And, it was slow at work...So I thought I'd be creative. What do you think? :)
