March 2022 Update

As I looked at my pictures from this past month, I only have a picture of an interesting bird Krista and I saw in our back yard a couple of weeks ago. Is that worth posting? We decided it was probably a Cooper’s Hawk, maybe a juvenile. He was just sitting on the grass in our back yard, and then he flew away.

It seems like it was a pretty uneventful month. Krista, Jem, and I have formally joined the church we have been attending, First Bible Baptist, and we are contemplating how God wants us to be involved there. It’s a big church, which I never thought I’d want to be a part of, but I have been blessed by their focus on God’s Word and many opportunities to be a part of their family.

As an example, last Saturday, Kevin and I went to a men’s prayer breakfast there. We had a great breakfast as a large group (over 100 men!), and then we broke into smaller groups to pray for our church and each other. We ended up with two other men, one who had been at FBBC for many years, and one who just started coming. It was great to get fellowship with and get to know some people a little better.

Then that night, Cody and I joined a euchre tournament the church had. There were 43 teams, so 86 people for the tournament. It was lots of fun again meeting people, talking with them, and playing euchre. We started out strong, winning our first two games, but it was all downhill from there. We ended up near the bottom of the group, but we both had fun, and we’d do it again.

The five of us at home (Krista and I, Zach, Jem, and Levi) celebrated Pi day (3/14) with cottage pie for supper (like shepherd’s pie, but with ground beef), and a chocolate cream pie from Wegmans. Really it was just a good excuse to eat pie.

Yeah, I guess that’s about it. Maybe next month will be more exciting, but don’t count on it.
