Great Weekend

I enjoyed a great weekend with my family and friends. Friday evening our family went downtown to watch WVU's homecoming parade on High Street. This parade is probably the best one you'll find in Morgantown thruout the year. We enjoyed trying out DP Dough, a shop that specializes in calzones, then got some chocolate at Slight Indulgence across the street.

I got two 45 yard line, row 9 tickets from a friend for the WVU/Miss St game Saturday afternoon. Aaron Johnson came over and our section introduced him to West Virginia football. He took some ribbing for being from SEC country, but I think he had a great time. WVU 38 MSU 13.

Our small groups are firing on all cylinders and it is spilling over to Sunday mornings. Several people are being introduced to StoneBridge thru small groups and we had several come for the first time to a Sunday service yesterday. We had 60 in attendance and there was a good spirit in the house. If we could eliminate our monthly "mulligan" Sunday for attendance, our averages would look much better, spiking up to the mid 60's instead of the 50's. Talked to Tommy Duke at ICC about this phonomenon today, as he is experiencing the same thing. If anyone has ideas on how to avoid attendance craters, let me know.

We celebrated my daughter Janna's 6th birthday yesterday. There were kids everywhere at our house, and we had a blast. I had made a deal with Janna a few weeks ago, where she agreed to stay 5 forever, but it looks like she is going to break our pact. Bummer.
