CRAZY BUSY

That pretty much sums up life around here lately. We are slammed. How does it happen so quickly? I am crazy busy at work. The foreclosure buyers are out in huge numbers. The "flippers" have been bored to tears for two years and are itching to get back in the game. A few of the properties are a lower dollar value . . . ha . . in S. Florida that means they are under 200K. I have met some sweet people and some crazies as well. Today I am juggling and negotiating 5 contracts. That is a praise as early in the year I was uncomfortably quiet. Dale is slammed as well. He has lighting jobs backed up to April at this point and is working in Palm Beach on some entertainment lighting.

Another praise is the new church we have been visiting. Treasure Coast Presb. Church is a small PCA church in a little historic building in the downtown area near the water. We Love It!! It took awhile to find it but God is good and led us there at the right time and for the right reasons. The youth, both middle school and high school are pretty strong. C wants to be there all the time. They are going on a mission trip to the Gulf Coast hurricane hit area to minister to areas that are still in need, neighborhood ministry, clean up, etc. M feels a bit left out as his age does not have as much going on at this point. Small world. The pastor and his wife were married at CSPC and her parents still live in Village Green. I think this church has been the missing peice for the last couple years here in S. Fl.

One last note and I have to run. My sis-in-law has started aggressive chemo. She is a stage 4 with her cancer and rather than double post, we started a blog for her updates. They have friends and family all over the country and a blog seemed to be the best answer for updates. Please check it out regularly and pray for her and her family as they walk through this part of her "story". http://www.sharonjewett.blogspot.com/ and feel free to post and introduce yourself. Her department at the hospital had a prayer meeting for her in the hospital chapel. Keep in mind that even though we are in the "south" part of the US . . S. Fl is FAR removed from the Bible Belt. God is very much at work through this illness in Sharon's life.

Have a great week.
