Today has been a bittersweet day of sorts, our friends Mark and Tere are cutting out this week to San Antonio so there will be a massive void we’ll no way be able to fill. Further our Life Group buddy Paul is leaving tomorrow for PA and we’ve had a great time getting to know him as well and will certainly miss him. It seems like the Life Group is breaking up, we’re a little scattered at the moment but we’ll get it together. Was supposed to have the group meet last night because of the awsome Quince party for Andy and Gricelda’s daughter Christa. Got to say little A.J. looks pretty fly in a tux. We hung out at Charles and Bea’s house and just chewed the fat and our daughter and their daughter have hit it off pretty well and like spending time with each other. It was nice just to hang out and talk about stuff with other adults.
Church was very good today, Paul Hollifield preached and did a most excellent job I thought. The messages have been extremely up lifting and encouraging. Last week on Father’s day Travis said we all need to go through suffering. This week he told he might go to jail, and Paul said we’re all gonna die. Please join us next week when there will be an inspiring message on “accidental death and dismemberment” as part of the “Got Funk?” series (just kidding, can’t remember what it’ll be). The band sounded really good today, the vocalist are really coming into their own and Michael did his usual awsome job on the drums. Jesse was dancing and having a ball, I got to play bass with out Phil being there and it was very enjoyable.
Seems I’m the first one in today on the blog so haven’t heard if Travis is clanging the tin cup on the bars for being a radical anarchist pastor. Can’t wait to see how things went at the baptism today.

Life-Pointe showed in numbers, a dozen or so got baptized, County Parks and Rec Dept blinked, so Trav didn’t get busted. Trav’s next sermon series could be especially for County Parks/Rec Bureaucrats—”Got Baptisms?”
I was kinda let down about it. I was looking for a court ruling that would henceforth and forevermore put it writing that the County was as wrong as a “maybe” answer to a true or false question. Kelly was relieved not to have a jailbird for a hubbie for sure.
All in all, it was a smashing victory for freedom in Miami-Dade County and proved wrong the adage that you can’t fight City Hall…er in this case Metro County Government.

EXCELLENT!! We don’t always have to make big news to make a big impact.
