Random thoughts of a typical weekend

Last night we had some old friends over for dinner. It was nice to spend time with them and catch up with the details of their lives. We shared a delicious meal, if I do say so myself and drank some very nice wine. All in all it was a pleasant evening and reminded me of how important friends are in our lives.

Sunday we headed off to church early. There are lots of people that we have not seen at church lately so I thought that they may go to a different service than we do. Sure enough we ran into some friends that we had not seen for a while. During the service I began thinking that I need to get more involved with our church again. There was a time that I was busy with church things three times a week . I miss that and although I am not sure that I want to be quite so involved, perhaps I need to be more involved than I am now. I am seriously considering hosting a couples bible study at our house, so I have decided to pray about this and see what direction God wants me to move on this.

After lunch I felt the need to hit the road, so I donned the bike gear and headed out for a good long ride. I felt jubilant when I was able to make it home without stopping except when I got caught at a light near the end. I can see that I am improving and I like that. This week I am going to begin lifting again. Not sure where I am going to fit this into the schedule, but it has been a while and I am ready to push myself and take this to the next level.

Today we received the official invitation to Christmas dinner with the Tait's. We will need to made some decisions fairly soon on this otherwise we may not get the best flights. I have never spent a Christmas at home and although we had intended to head south, I am now thinking that north may be the best option. In a perfect world we would go north for Christmas and south for New Year's....hmmm if only we were really, really rich!

This is a photo of David with some friends at Church today. He will be 14 on Tuesday. Where has the time gone? Notice the hair! About a month ago these three kids had long hair now they all have short hair. At least David has hair since the other dudes look like they got the prison cut.
