Over a year

It's been a year since my last blog, just not sure if I should use my time this way. But I have time today so since last year, Austin got his first deer, and we continue to enjoy fishing together, he is a freshman, and is doing very well grade wise, and I am very proud. Colin is back playing soccer, had a great year in baseball, made all stars, and is a very good player. He is a natural athlete, and excels in most sports. Surprise of the year Michigan and the Bengals. Spiritually I love my church my Pastors, and most importantly God. Hopefully someone will read this if not oh well.

Keeping up

Well football season has started, and after the first half of the Miichigan game I felt like fishing, and did. Colin is playing football, and is playing catch up since he hasn't played since 2nd grade.
I think he makes progress every practice, and has good instincts, he'll be ok by the end of this year and beginning of next year. Austin is making an extreme effort in school starting off the year, we've made a deal that if he keeps straight A's, we would get a dog. He's also gearing up for hunting season and I need to find a place where he can hunt. Anyway heres hoping the Bengals have a good season, I feel like princess leia in star wars, help me Carson Palmer your my only hope.

peace out, Sean

More stuff

Well football season has started and let the games begin, go penguins. School started and our lives continue to be busy, Kris is still healing and teaching jr's and sr's for the time being so she is pulling her hair out, then again around 45 teenage girls will do that.

God Bless, peace out

can't be last

Busy with football, had a great to Michigan with my boy's, caught lots of fish. Played two very nice golf courses, great views, well maintained, and public, would love to take a group of guys up next spring, or this fall. Kris started school with her new students, please pray for her as she is still recovering from surgery, and won't obey doctors orders.

peace out, Sean

Long time no blog!

Well it has been a busy summer, between fishing, baseball, and golf. . Colin made the 9 yr old allstar team, so baseball lingers on, but he is getting some good coaching, especially when it comes to pitching, something I never did. Colin and I have also been doing some golfing together, he is fairly natural at it, so it's fun, even if sometimes his scorekeeping gets a little imaginative. I am looking forward to taking a fishing trip with the boys, up to the greatest state in the nation Michigan. It will be a nice chance for just the guys to be together, I pray it's a trip we will remember for a long time. Heres praying things are going well for any who stumble upon this blog.

Peace out homies

What to blog about?

Well, busy is he word, one Soccer game, and two Baseball Games Saturday, and another Baseball game Sunday. Soccer practice Monday after my workout, speedo season is coming you know, Tuesday, baseball practice after a workout. Wednesday Soccer practice, Thursday two more Soccer practices, calgon take me away. I still had time to compete in competitive lawn care though, ha,ha. Kris is busy as well with school, and then school, and all the things that go along with the end of the year. Thankfully Soccer is almost over and then it's just baseball but lots of it,
I do cherish these days though, as the boys are growing up to fast, I can't believe Austin is almost 14, and Colin is almost 10, where does time go. Oh well I need to rest so I can be ready for the rest of the week and weekend.

peace out.

Spring finally sprung.

I am so glad for warmer weather even if just for a few days. The first week of soccer was freezing, and baseball has been so cold we have only hit once. Both boys are playing soccer,
and Colin is playing soccer, and baseball, busy, busy, busy, but it keeps me out of the trouble, and off the couch. Fishing season is also upon us, and the boys have already been out several times, and yep the drag me with them. It's ok though, there is something very peaceful about being out away from it all just sitting there relaxing. Nothing much has been biting, at least my line, Austin has caught plenty already. With warmer weather comes one of my favorite sports,
competitive lawn mowing, Ha,Ha, I mean golf , can't wait to hit the links. Alot of my friends have new clubs now I just need to buy them some talent, again Ha,Ha just kidding I love getting out with my Church friends. I am excited about the change on Wednesday nights. Our Church has been to this point three times since I have been a member, the point where we are doing well,
and we decide to relax, it's time to take it to the next level. Let's get busy for God and be obedient to what he wants, not what we want.

Peace out!

Spring finally sprung.

Well what a great time of year fantersprummer all of the seasons all rolled into one, basketball,
is over and now it's soccer/baseball. Don't get me wrong I love my kids being involved, it's just alot of time and running. Then I think I better enjoy it while it lasts, kids grow up so fast. Looking forward to Golf starting soon, one of my favorite things to do with my friends. Hopefully we can have a couple of outings for the Church. It will be hard, as people will have to pay up front this time, because of the no shows last summer. However I think it will be a different story this time after all our yes is supposed to be yes, something even I need to work on sometimes.
If we aren't different, how will the world know we are.

Woooooooohoooooooo!

It's over finally, upwards that is, not that I don't enjoy upwards I love it. It is a few weeks off though, before soccer/baseball. Awards night tommorow night if you want to help, show up,
I am sure there is something to do. Both boys teams went undefeated, they had good teams and good coaches. It really isn't just about that but that is a fringe benefit. If you see Mark Kifer
thank him for the way he ran the courts at Heath, lots of imagination during the introductions,
on time games, great organization and passion about the program. Well my blushing Bride joined me in the forties, I am so Glad God blessed me with such a wonderful wife. Our missionaries to Kenya came home and have given great news about what God did while they were there, may God bless them for thier obedience, and sacrifice.

Peace out

One week to go!

Well the upwards season is coming to an end, seems like it just started, other than all the running. Must have something to do with not having anything to be ashamed of, you know like being thrown out of an upwards game. Both boys have had successful seasons, good coaches and good teammates. I have had a lot of fun working with Mark Kifer, his passion energized me, and I am sure others also. I pray that more men will get involved as refs, and coaches, from our Church, each coach, and ref, should be a Christian, IMO. I also pray that God will open doors for people to be led to Christ through this program. Pray for those who will help in the awards ceremony, and we could still use more help, if you read this please consider.

The Kenya team is on the way home, Pray for thier safety. I look forward with great inticipation to what they have to share. Many have come to know Christ according to the E-mails, and blogs I have read. The teams obedience has been rewarded, we should not be suprised. God is Good all the time, all the time God is Good. Praise his name today!!!!!!

Peace out

ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!

6 games into the upward season, and I still have kept my composure, and you know, it is a God thing. You see, I pray that I will not blow my witness, and God who is always faithful has helped me. It hasn't been easy I am still a very competitive person, but I am getting better in that respect also, thank you God for your patience. I have been very excited to here that things in Kenya have been going so well, so many salvations, praise God, for he is worthy to be praised. It is nice to see how faithful God is when we are obedient. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ, that God will continue to reveal himself. Colin just came upstairs and handed me this,
God loves you and gave his sons life for you, and only a true friend hero and Dad would do that for you. So remember trust in the Lord with all your heart, and know that he is the son of God, and will never leave your side. So peeps what did we learn today? If you can't remember just look at the last two paragraphs I made for you, and really know that it is true. God really loves you or else you probably be the devils bounty hunter like in Ghost Rider. Out of the mouths of babes.

peace out

Upwards and Stuff

First, let me just praise God for helping me get control over my overcompetitivness, three games and no yelling at refs, wooooooooooh! As you can tell upwards has started, all seems to be going well, well we could use a few more volunteers on saturdays to ref. It is such a great outreach to the community, Mark Kifer is doing a great job of organizing things, what a blessing it is to have him. Things at home are busy with Kris going to school again, it is hard to balance everything, with both boys having practice on the night she go's to school it is hard to help keep things afloat at home. Kris will be 40 on february 22nd so make sure you remind her, fianally my honey joins mein the 40's club, she and Michael George both, make sure to mention that to Michael also. I really feel blessed to be a part of our church, Great staff, great lay people, great friends. peace out.

Time to catch up!

Well since Thanksgiving things continue to get more busy, Colin is almost done with indoor soccer, and he, and Austin have both started upwards practice. This has been our busiest fall by far. The Christmas drama was a great success, all who participated did a great job, the choir was awesome and it was neat to see Michael and Jenae doing the lines. With Michaels busy work schedule, Jenae was actually feeding him lines during some practices. What an awesome family they have Julia and Johnathon also took part and did a wonderful job. As did Joshua Ryan Smith and Andrew Rafferty. It was also nice to see so many youth get involved. The more I get to know Pastor Dear, and Pastor Shawn the more I am glad God brought them and thier families to the Church. They join two of my favorite people who were already here. Anyway May God Bless you this Christmas season, and remember the reason we celebrate. P.S. Thank you Gina for doing a great job with Pastor Shawn in getting everything ready.

Thanksgiving

What a great thanksgiving, spent with friends and family. My lovely wife, and I spent early friday morning shopping for the boys, it was so much fun. Friday evening we hada couple of people over to watch a basketball game, about halfway through the evening I started feeling a little ill, by midnight, I was deep in the throws of possibly the worst virus I have ever had, it is Sunday morning and I am just starting to feel somewhat normal. My prayer is for nobody else to get this wicked virus, and if you should end up with it I pray for quick heeling. My fantasy football team has had a tough year, but I have won two in a row Jeff. In any case I pray that this Christmas season finds you and yours in good spirits, and may we all remember the reason for the season. May we draw near to he who was born to save us.

Hello it's me

Hello all, sorry it took so long to update, soccer is over not, colin will be playing indoor now. And then there is upwards, for both boys. Austin got to go hunting with Brandon Salyer, didn't get anything but almost, what a great guy, Austin really looks up to Corey and Brandon, a couple of great young men, great upbringing. Have really enjoyed Marks teaching in Jeffs class he has been a great sub. Sam, I have been thinking of you, and your procedure hope your healing well.
I read the Pastors last couple of Blogs, and couldn't agree more, as if kids that age didn't have enough to struggle with. I can't wait for the visitation program to start, it is a great way to reach people who visit quickly, and let them know we care, a former Pastor did this with great results.
I am so thankful for a Pastor who cares so much about reaching people.

Catching up!!

Well, revival went well, what a blessing to be a part of such a God honoring church, with God honoring leadership. Looking forward to what God is gonna do through those of us who choose to be obedient, and humble ouselves and pray. Got to play golf this last weekend, and what great weather. Played by myself on Friday and it was good, I found myself praying at different times during the round as I waited to hit my next shot, just talking to God, and doing what I don't always do best listening. God revealed himself that day through a peace he gave me, the breeze coming off the lake, the sonshine, the birds. The next day I had the priveledge to play with Pastor Shawn, and we took our sons along, and although it took awhile with the boys along, what a blast. A great time was had at the Salyers tail gate party, Sam and Jim won the cornhole championship, I think a rematch is in order. Then Sunday, great services and seeing my friend
Troy accept the call to be our youth Pastor. What are the chances of all these awesome things happening, with God 100%. Pray for LLoyd Carr, Michigans coach, he needs it, I glad I've come to the point in my life where I understand it is just football. That being said Go Blue, Go Akron.

Revival!!!!!

Revival is coming pray,pray,pray! May we humble ourselves and pray. Pray for lives to be changed eternally. Pray that it will be the start of something big here and abroad, If we are simply Obedient, God will do grat things next week. If you haven't signed up to play golf, please do and invite an unsaved friend.

Theres gonna be a revival!

Thanksgiving

I am in such awe, of how God is working in our church, I'm thankful for the leadership team God has put in Place. The past, is just that, past, and my family and I look forward to what God is going to do. Kris and I, and the boys, are thankful that Haley Smiths injury wasn't as bad as was first thought. There has been such a sweet spirit in service lately, and God is working in our midst. The youth group continues to grow in spiritual maturity, and God has provided some great youth workers to support a great Youth Pastor. His passion for teens is so evident, and yet when you hear him speak he is equally passionate about adults coming to know the Lord. Pray for Stefanie as she is looking for full time work, and pray for her transportation situation.
Michael, and Donna Georges nephew led in worship before Sunday School this morning, it was an awesome way to start the day, and Taylor is truly talented. Shawn, and Penny, with Zach, and Brianna, are finally all here and together. To me it seems as though they have been a part of our family for years. They have just fit in so nicely, and are so easy to get to know. God has inspired me to get more invloved in recreational areas in the Church, and I am organizing a golf outing, please pray that God will guide me in this endeavor. Isn't it nice that God has been adding some already spiritually mature Christians to our Church and how they are stepping up and leading, It is also nice to see Christians mature from within and step up and serve. May we continue to strive and focus on glorifying Gods name.

Thank you God, Sean
