Happy Groundhog Day

Bill Murray...Isn't he great?

Well, it's now February and I thought it would be good to give everyone a friendly update.

Things are truckin' along for me and our student ministry at BRAC. We just got done with a slew of planning/review related activities at church and now that it is already the second month of the year, I think we can finally look forward to 2006 and what it has to offer.

Things at BRAC Youth have been going well. We have several new students that I am having a good time getting to know. We are still improving our new youth room with hopes of eventually having a full service cafe counter along with tables, new lighting, and a new A/V system. Continue to pray with me for God to provide the money and supplies we need to move in this new direction.

Next Wednesday I start the first of two weeks of leading our middle school's First Priority program. I'm looking forward to sharing with the 80 or so teens that normally attend. Although this doesn't happen all the time, I believe God has something specific to share with the teens and I'm anticipating how they will respond to God's word. I'll let you know how it goes.

Today I filed for my 2005 taxes - they are done!!! I think this is the earliest I've completed my taxes. I'm really excited about what I will be spending my tax money on...A new DV camcorder! Now I'll be able to use video more in our church and student ministry (and post them online for all of you to see). If anyone knows of a good camcorder for $800 or less - let me know ok?
