Hey girls! It's good to be back at home and in touch! Spending last weekend at my parents' house with dial up internet (oh my gosh!), I realized how spoiled I am to be able to stay in touch with you guys through this blog, email and the likes! It was an interesting weekend - thought I'd tell you a bit about it. For those of you who don't know, I returned to the "mother-ship" this weekend for the 125th annivesary celebration of my home church. Several old high school buds and my high school youth pastor were there. We had a lot of fun catching up on each other's lives.
It was also neat to see that my little hometown church of around 200 members is doing something outside the four walls of the church. They have begun ministering to the Laotian population of the county and are sponsoring a mission church for the Laotion people. The Laotians come and use the church building on Sunday afternoons to have a Laotion speaking church service. Their congregation joined in on the big noontime "potluck" and they brought along some fabulous egg rolls and fried rice! Yum!
One of the old friends that was there was my first "real" boyfriend. It was interesting to visit with him, but doing so definitely reinforced the fact that God led me to the perfect mate! (Not that I needed that affirmation, of course, but you know what I mean!) So now, here I am, back at home, so happy to be here, in Plano, with my awesome family and my fabulous friends, enjoying watching new leaves appear on the trees each day.
Forever grateful for Him, them and you,
KJ

Dial-up Internet...whoa...now THAT will make one a grateful person. Whew...you might as well go ahead and commit me if I had to do that every day. But then, maybe not...I mean, I wouldn't know the difference and the pace of life has got to be likened to a snail, I'm sure. So I'd probably be ok now that I think of it.
Anywho...so glad you are back. I laughed when I read your comment about your old "boyfriend". I just had that experience myself...sort of. I've been doing that searching for worship pastor's e-mails thing for Suz at the church and long story short, came across a church in Minnesota. When I went to pastor's, I noticed an old 8th grade crush's name. Mind you, he was a looker...in today's terms "hot"...the jock...and popular. When I saw his picture, I about died. The only thing recognizable on him were his eyes. Bald as an eagle and a bit heftier. I'm sure he is a wonderful man, and I don't want to seem shallow, but I was thanking Jesus for the man I am crazy for! That would be Ro. :) Glad you had a good time, KJ!
Love ya, c
He's your perfect mate because HE BOUGHT YOU A FREAKIN' COOL CAR! LOVE, V
