so i haven't blogged for a while, unless twitter counts. Which I guess it does count because it is a micro-blogging community. anyway, I wanted to get on and share a bit!!

first.. Congrats to my brother (jackandersonjr on twitter) and his wife janice for the birth of Madelyn (I hope I didn't spell it wrong this time). She is the first girl on this side of the family (parents had three boys, all of our kids have been boys until now :)) excluding, of course all of our lovely wives.

second.. I was really excited for one of our leaders yesterday he braved many flights and arrived in Baton Rouge to see his nephew start on the mound for the Tigers... but during warm-ups Randy Zeigler hurt his arm (elbow I think) and after some time with the docs they think he may need surgery. Our prayers are with the Zeiglers' especially Randy, and we are praying for God's healing for him!

third.. I'm so excited about easter. It is always exciting, because it is a day that we see so many show up to worship. I'm praying for our pastor!! What an amazing burden he has to share Christ with the lost, I know that God has something big in store this easter! I get so broken when I think about and realize the amazing sacrifice that was made for us on calvary and how amazing Grace is.

fourth.. i started a few books and am actually steadily chopping away at all of them. I used to hardly ever read.. go me!!

finally.. I'm really excited about the week-end with my family. Jonathan has been asking a bunch of questions about Jesus and church and the bible and dinosaurs and swimming and cars and mythbusters and... well you get the picture. Kristi is an amazing wife and mom and tyler gets whatever he wants just by being so cute... I think I'm going to cut his hair again. Don't tell Kristi!

Happy easter every one!!
