Week in Review 11/13/09

What Did Your Pastor Do This Week?
This week was a splendid week. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my close friends and get work done at the same time! Yesterday night I had the blessing of spending time with my sister eating dinner and hanging out with the Lee's. In case you do not know who the Lee's are, Seil Lee is the man for whom I stood as the best man. Him and his wife have been dear friends of mine in the Lord ever since freshmen year of college. The time we spent together yesterday was a wonderful time just eating and watching random tv shows. The presence of many friends has helped me to understand how blessed I am in the Lord. It is a joyful thing to be in the company of friends who love you.

I was thankful this week that my small group members at CCS were starting to get more serious about the time we had together. This week we were going over the trinity. Usually our group will be loud and off topic, but they have been maturing. I am very thankful for that and hopeful that they will grow to love the study of the Word. Some are already!

This weekend seems to be quite busy as there will be many meetings to go to. However, it is quite thrilling and exciting. It is also the first weekend that our assistant pastor will be gone. It was his last week the past Sunday. We'll have to fill his shoes. Please pray for our church!

Interesting Happenings
I went to my favorite McDonald's (favorite because it is close by), and found out that it is closed for some time. I never thought I'd be so sad.
