Kenneth's Laity Sunday Speech

Laity Sunday is a day when the entire church staff step back and the members organize and conduct the church services. Kenneth was asked to speak about why Grace Avenue is important to him and his family. He did PowerPoint slides that do not show up but he explains them in the speech. We also sang a special anthem with the choir but that's not online. It was such an amazing Sunday and I'm so glad we were a part of it.

If you'd like to hear Kenneth's speech, go to http://www.graceavenue.org/, click "Watch Online" and find the Oct. 26, 2008 sermon under "Latest Archives". He's about 8 minutes in, after the video and between the two ladies that also spoke. They all did a great job and have such interesting stories. Enjoy!

Gig 'em???

We had a blast in College Station! Friday night we went to Midnight Yell Practice...Whooooop! Then Saturday, we had lunch with a bunch of other athletic recruits and their families where we met with a few of the coaches. The Athletic Director and Coach Sherman came in and spoke to the kids. Then we got to go out on to Kyle Field and watch the boys warm up. It was fun to watch the stands fill up with maroon clad Aggies. They even gave us tickets to the game! We sat at the 25 yard line on row 5.

Yes, the Aggies lost but it was still quite an experience...especially for Michael. The schools can't really talk to him "Officially" until after February of next year but they sure seemed excited that he was there and is interested in being an Aggie. So, we'll see what happens and in the mean time, I'm sure there will be other collegiate visits. But, of course, we'd LOVE it if he gets to play for A&M. Gig 'em!!!!!

Quick Update

We're headed down to College Station tonight. Michael has been "unofficially" invited to the game and so they (some Aggie hoo haa's) are taking us to lunch and down onto Kyle Field before the game. Think they want him? We'll see. It'll be a fun weekend anyway. We're going to midnight yell practice tonight and the game tomorrow and just hang out 'til Sunday.

Then Kenneth is sitting on a panel at some conference next week so...darn...we have to go to Vegas. I'll let you know how that goes.

Big News...I got to go play with Baby Aven yesterday. He's sooooooo cute. He was so alert and he's just doing great! (Mom's better, too).

He's just precious.

That's all for now...more later...Suzanne
