sermon

i had a great time preaching this past weekend. if you're interested, the sermon audio and notes are available under "recent sermons" at http://www.annarborvineyard.org/media/sermon_music.htm

julie and i went up to jim & shannon niedzinski's parent's place on Shannon Lake up north near Fenton. truly a blast... swimming, basketball (in the rain), good food, lots of friends... very nice.

i've seen 'war of the worlds' twice now... once with julie, once with jesse. loved it! awesome sound, special effects, constant action. definitely two thumbs up, four stars. only possible complaint (and it's a minor one) is that the ending is somewhat anticlimactic.

the baby is kicking like crazy... can't wait to meet her. i saw a commercial for disposable baby washcloths--how cute!! were babies always this cute, or is it just because i'm expecting my own?!
