Torn Iris

Today is a gloomy day.  The clouds are covering the sky and it is cold and damp.  Oh well.  Once again it has been awhile since my last blog and there has been alot going on in my life since.  I will try not to write such a long blog.  As for last time I did not get many comments, prolly because people were tired of reading it before they finished.  Just in case you don't know, I LOVE comments on my blogs, if there is one way that I am loved it is by words and people responding to what I have to say.  Just a side note to encourage ya'll to leave comments!  Haha.

Last week our cat and dog were messing around and the cat somehow scratch or bit the dogs eye.  He ended up needing to get emergency eye surgery.  Lucky for us there is only one vet qualified in the state of KY and she practices in Louisville.  Anyways, it cost alot of money and all I get out of is a dog with a cone on his head that has been puking all over the place.  As well as laying down a "log" or two.  Makes me wish we didn't have the dog.  I do love that darn dog, but I am a little frustrated right now with the situation if you can't tell.

In less than two weeks we will be heading back up to MI for a friends wedding.  I can't wait to see all my old friends again!  What a time it will be. 

Just wanted to also write a blip about our friends blog, she has all these pictures and nice writing in her blog...I was very impressed.  Don't expect such great things out of me. haha

Last weekend we also joined a church for the first time for both of us.  It has been a blessing to go through the process and the people have been so kind to us.  We do look forward to serving in what ever ministry God has for us.  

Speaking of serving in a church, Kirstin and I both took a spirtual gifts inventory.  It was interesting to say the least.  According to the inventory my gifts are: Giving, Serving, Shepharding, Hospitality, Leading, and Discernment.  Those of you who know me, what do you think?  Does that match what you know about me?  Part of me was hoping for one of those gifts that everybody sees and knows about like prayer or preaching or something, but that is not the case.  God knows I prolly would not handle all the attention very well so He gave me more behind the scene gifts.  Really though, I am happy for such gifts if they are true of me.  We wanted to get a little direction before we starting serving in the church.  We will see how it all works out.

Anyways, I will end this for now.  I don't want to make another really long blog.
