Sunset

Last night there was this amazing sunset! There was even a rainbow in the southeast. The way the sun reflected on the clouds made it look like the sky was on fire! When I got home I ran out and got a few pictures before the sun dropped! Unfortunately the rainbow was gone by the time I got these pictures.

The Guy On The Couch!!!

Yesterday I got the chance to hang out with a friend that lived with Micah and me for about a year a few years back. He is now in the Army and living in Tennessee going to college. It was great to catch up and see where God has led him in life and ministry over the past year. Since he lived with us and slept on our couch he was the first person to be termed the guy on the couch! My cousin Joel filled that role a couple of years ago for a summer also! Fun times. It was nice to remember some of the old jokes and good times that we had. All those inside jokes that you start remembering after a little while!!!

Matthew and I! Hmmmm, don't ask!!!

Attempt at a serious picture!

Matthew and Micah, not sure on this one either!

Good times! Matthew's actually bigger than Micah the picture is quite deceptive!

Another Wedding!

Weddings seem to be cropping up more and more! I know of six that have happened since July. This past Saturday my cousin Joanna got married. It was a great time hanging out with family and just catching up with everyone! We are all so busy now it is sometimes hard to get together except on big occasions.

The happy couple: Chris and Joanna

Happenings...

This past weekend was great. Perfect Fall weather, good morning training run and friends! On Friday night I went to a high school football game with some friends. That was fun, but it is always interesting observing the high school culture. Something completely different from normal life!!!

How Much??...

Sunday at church I heard a statement that keeps popping up in my head so I thought I would share it with everyone! The pastor said: "I love Jesus as much as the person that I love the least".

This statement has caused me to consider how much I truly love Jesus at certain times and in certain situations. In Matthew 25:35-40 it tells us that what we do for those that are destitute, strangers, outcasts, etc... we also do for Him. I often wonder how many times I, with my preconceived notions and judgments, miss the opportunity that was set before me to serve and draw someone into the saving light of Christ?

Wedding!

Yesterday my dad got married. It was a small wedding with just family and a few close friends. It was a good time to see family and celebrate with them. Here are a few pics. Yes, I know to see me in a suit is the last thing expected, but it is fun and does happen at times!!!

Volleyball

This evening I went to a volleyball game between Center Grove and Warren Central. Samantha Wathen plays on Warren Central's JV team and my cousin, Bethany Irwin, plays on Center Grove's Varsity team. They were good games. Both of them did well and have improved since I have last seen them play!
