REST

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

As many of you know, we are moving this week. As referenced in a previous post, we are making this move because we felt it was time to do something about our debt. As a result, we are now debt free!!

Anyhow, for those of you that have ever moved (which should be just about all of you), you know that it is very exhausting. Thank the Lord that the buyer of our house has allowed us to stay in it for 30 days after closing. That was nothing short of a miracle with our summer schedule. The challenge for us has been to balance hard work with times of rest. There is always a season for hitting it hard! Then, there should also be a season of slowing down. Some of you will be, or have been vacationing this summer. Good for you! If we don't stop to rest every now and then, not only do we just get worn out, but our priorities are all out of wack as well.

Even in the midst of our moving craziness, Lisa & I sat down last night, enjoyed some popcorn & watched a movie. We also have some great friends that took care of the girls for us. That's just one way of living out the Acts church. Friends helping friends!

The moral of this story is simply this; "Hit it hard, but always land soft"...or something like that. Here's a trailer for the movie we watched. I'm a movie buff & this one was really good. ENJOY!

Did at least a dozen people get killed like always happens in movies you recommend to Joe and me? If not, I might rent it sometime!

OK, I did it again. It's gotta be my computer--it COULDN'T be the user!

Anyway, I was wrong! I just remembered that nobody got killed in the golf movie you loaned us!!
