It's 7:35 PM and I think I did enough work today so that tomorrow I will be able to finish in time to take my dad to the airport at 10PM.  That's what happens when an understaffed IT department has a technician out with a broken rib and I get to do all their work.  Are there any "techies" out there looking for a job?  We're looking to hire.

Well there is more to my life than work.

Two weekends ago seven of us from FOCUS went to Long Beach for The Resolved Conference.

We saw a lot of familiar heads (like this guy on the far right)

It was four straight days of sermons, worship music, and good eats!  John Piper said when he first arrived he thought this was an "Asian" conference.  For more pics, click here.

We got home on Monday night, but there was hardly time to rest because ...

Young Couples ski trip in Kirkwood.

We came up Friday night, skied, boarded, and tubed on Saturday, and had game nights on Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday a car wouldn't start, I got sick, and all the roads were closed.  Not to mention a tow truck couldn't come because the roads were closed.  So the guys shoveled the car out of the snow, pushed it up an incline and jumped it, all while holding up traffic.  We had no idea how long we'd be stuck, but God provided a way out.  One of the roads opened up Monday morning, and after a 5 hour drive through blizzard conditions we made it safely home.  There were moments when we couldn't see anything in front of us, not even the road.  There were moments when one of our cars would spin out (once in front of an on-coming snow plow!).  But we made it back safely.  Praise God!
