Do you have any idea how blessed my family is?

I was reminded just now at just how God takes care of His children – in particular, Stevan, Jess & Ella.

Under my office door just now as I slipped out of 2nd service was a Wal-Mart gift certificate with “Thank You” written on it and addressed to “Pastor Sheets & Family”.

No name, no recognition, no “did you get your gift”, just the gift in an envelope sealed wtih love from someone in the church.

“Thank you” back to whomever sent this just doesn’t seem to mean enough.

Today was gorgeous. Finally had a break in the heat-wave here in Indiana and the sun was shining all day long.

This evening we headed to the VanKirk’s for a cookout with friends. The VanKirks, French’s, Ritter’s, Knepp’s and even Thomas & Bethany came out tonight for some fun and food.

The highlight of the evening was finally seeing Shawn’s new Baja Beetle in all its glory. It’s going to be an amazing addition to an already all-star lineup of vehicles that my buddies drive.

Update on Mom & Dad Sheets – they have arrived safe-and-sound in Pennsylvania with everything they own (minus a few non-essentials that were left behind for Good Will). Dad will preach tomorrow morning before his new congregation! It’s exciting to see their new lives up in Pennsylvania. We’re planning on heading there sometime around Christmas!

Update on Ella – she’s still absolutely amazingly beautiful:

Goodness gracious. I must be busy or something!
