being jake wood

THE WEEK THAT WAS:
The first part of the week started out busy and then we got hammered with snow on Friday night and all of a sudden we were snowbound in the house. It turned out really good. Some time to relax, watch a movie, read and of course eat bad food with an excuse. Because of being snowed in I was able to get a lot of reading done and future planning.

March Madness. March Madness. March Madness…. oh and our student leadership retreat is this weekend. Lot’s to do!:)

THE WEEK THAT WAS:
This last week was a busy one. I was in desperate need of some recharging. So Friday and Saturday my family did absolutely NOTHING. We watched movies, Biggest Loser, read books and just had fun with each other. I didn’t even bother showering Saturday… it was glorious and much needed.

One of the funniest shows on TV now is Modern Family… we love it. Here’s a clip.

There is a lot of preparing for March Madness next month and looking for to preaching Wednesday night from our new series “Identity Theft”.

THE WEEK THAT WAS:
This last week was a busy week, but an exciting week. Casting lots of vision for this next year always gets me excited. Kim is still out, but doing much better from her back surgery. Thanks to the church family and Kim’s parents for helping out with meals, kids and more. I ended this last week by eating as much unhealthy food as possible before my 21 day fast started. Here’s to sugar and cheese!

MEDICINE OF THE WEEK:

Definitely Dayquil for me, as I’ve been suffering from eternal nasal congestion (and horse tranquilizers for Kim)

ON MY TO-DO LIST THIS WEEK: This week my mind is on preparing my message for Sunday morning and getting our youth missions trip finalized. Lot’s of leadership meetings and of course the items at home that I’ve needed to put on Ebay for almost a year now.
