A Stone's Throw

Well, we are currently the owners of TWO HOUSES now . . . for just a few more days!  We closed on our house in Carthage and will move in on Friday and Saturday!  We close on our house in Ozark on August 12th at the latest.  Thank you Lord for really working this stuff all out so smoothly!

I was just sitting here processing the whole real estate closing process this morning as it all happened so quickly.  That is pretty amazing all of the forms and signatures. The worst thing is the final several documents that you sign that show how much you are “really” spending on your loan if you just pay the payment the entire period of the loan.  Boy, we need to get on it and apply extra to that principle!

Go ahead and sing along to the Lynyrd Skynyrd tune! . . . That was nice!!

We will hopefully have the keys to our new house tomorrow around NOON!!  We are really excited to get moved this weekend!  We have the truck rented for Friday and Saturday.  I am really grateful to the folks who are going to help us on Friday and Saturday!

Will sent some pics tomorrow!!

We are continuing our Extreme Makeover series this weekend with a message from the Book of Haggai called “Rebuilding.”  I will be preaching at the Carthage campus and I am REALLY excited about this message!  Pastor John will be joining us at the Carthage campus to help us with our baptisms that we are having in both services!

The baptism service is going to be extra special for me as I am going to have the privilege of baptizing Taylor! We are really proud of him and all of the awesome things that God is going to do in his life!  A whole bunch of our family and friends are going to be down to celebrate this awesome day with us!

Then later on in the evening, Pastor John and I are teaching the 1st Base, Discovering Forest Park Class.  Wow, lots of stuff!  You don’t want to miss this Sunday at Forest Park Carthage!!  See you there!
