Trick or Treat @ Common Grounds

Friday at Common Grounds we had two students from Bubai share about their culture and themselves. This is a pic of Mo sharing about his artwork.

Saturday Night we had our Family Fall Fest. Our team did an amazing job giving the kids and families an incredible night of fun.

Ramblings, and more ramblings...

Yep, I've sucked at blogging lately. Blame it on a busy month at church, blame it on twitter, blame it on Facebook, or blame it on online TV capabilities... i just haven't had it in me to write on my blog.

So here are some random thoughts swimming around in my noggin:

- I'm excited about our Halloween family activities this year for our families. We'll host our Family Fall Fest this Friday, and then be at Common Grounds on Halloween passing out candy and offering some kids activities.

- Local band Muddy Grove will be playing at The Fields at Common Grounds THIS SATURDAY. Very cool!! See you at 707. Come early for some of their music.

- Our basement walls are now red. Yep, I came home after a long day of work last Saturday and found red walls in the basement. Looks good. (I know you didn't really need to hear about that one. like i said..ramblings)

- I've lost more than eight pounds in two weeks watching my calories and exercising. Pretty PUMPED about the strong start to this "getting healthier" thing. I use www.livestrong.com for online help.

- Lots of new families at The Fields. If you're new... We want to have lunch or dinner with you! Let's schedule something!!

- My dog ran out of the backyard today and down the block. I was trying to get all the boys in the van. I was ticked. I'll be honest, I was getting ready to introduce the dog to Jesus. Does Jesus have pets in heaven? Do they obey Him? Did dogs start disobeying at the fall of man in the garden? (More random stuff flying out of my head.)

- I'm going to Story in Chicago next week. Really excited about that.

- We have INCREDIBLE guest speakers, interviews, videos, and chats lined up over the next two weekends at The Fields as we talk about God's heart and our mission for people all around the world.

- I need a haircut.

OK.... that's all for now.
