Catching up from the last 8 months

So here is my chance to catch everyone up one what has been going since the last time I posted...

1) Obama won the election and we are now broke as a government (not morally, well we are morally bankrupt but I mean, literally we are broke, busted, out-o-money).
2) Jessica and I welcomed Delaney Goodwin into the world on April 29, 2009 and she has been a wonderful addition to our family.
3) Started a paper route in September and so far have kept throwing papers every stinking morning since then, also I substitute taught in the Spring and now have a new found respect for public school teachers and the importance of sleep.
4) I read all the Narnia books, Twilight books, a biography on Clarence Thomas, The Shack, and am halfway through Mark Levin's book Tyranny and Freedom. My only comment is that The Shack should be changed to The Out-House because it is full of.......
5) I have been seriously trying to talk myself into buying P90X so I can sculpt my body into that statue of David like image, but I don't want to hurt myself either. Tough one I know!
6) Cherrywood Baptist Church is doing well and has been blessed by two new families that have become very active participants in our church. One family has 5 children and a 6th on the way, and the other has 4 children all in their teens.
7) I had a fantastic time cheering the Razorbacks baseball team on during their current College World Series run, but was ultimately kicked in the mid-section (you know what I mean wrAstling fans) by lOsuERS winning the national championship. I think that more than makes up for the whole Hurricane Katrina debacle now.
8) For the summer months I have been preaching through the book of Philippians expositing Paul's emphasis of the word Joy throughout his letter to the church at Philippi.
9)Witnessed one of the most incredible hail, hale or hell storms of my life last Tuesday, and in return got some money from my insurance company to fix all the dents in my van this week.
10) Because my wife and kids have been traveling all over the South this summer catching up with family and friends it has given me a chance to hang out with my life long pal Thad. We've laughed, watched old movies, eaten good food, played basketball, and had a really rad time these past few weeks. I just hope all this bonding has finally allowed him to forgive me for making him try to climb up onto the roof of his house when we were kids to get that wiffle ball bat and then dropping him on his head, thereby stunting his growth for the rest of his life. Sorry bro.!

Well those are just some of the things that have been preoccupying my time these last few months, let me know what you've been up to, and what you think I should start writing on as I pick my blogging back up.
