Today was a transitional morning for us.  School started for Emmy, Bailey, Drew, and Grace.  Wow!  They were so excited.  Somehow I don’t remember being so excited for school…then again there is the issue of the school I went to, but that is a post for another day.  The kids did great and Michelle didn’t do too bad either.  This will be a bittersweet day for her I’m sure.  She has homeschooled some or all of our kids for the last 10 years.  I’m excited for her and a little nervous at the same time.  She is a pretty incredible mommy.  We walked our youngest two kids to the bus stop but the older two didn’t want us around…Nice!

We had a great and relaxing Labor Day.  Pulled pork, wings, and good friends.  Doesn’t get much better than that.  I’m looking forward to a great week as we ramp up for our Elevate series beginning on Sunday.  I love the story of Nehemiah and I’m looking forward to teaching through it.

I thought Sunday was a nice close to our “side effect” series.  I was moved by our worship…loved the flute!  It was a good crowd for a holiday week but now it’s time to ramp it up for the fall.  I’m convinced that this will be the greatest fall in the history of Fellowship church.
