Noobs in New Bern. the end of week one

It really was a good first week in New Bern. I have met a bunch of really great people that have a heart for Jesus and that want to serve.

I was in the office just about everyday this week for a few hours or more (I need to go in today and put together a bookshelf so I can get rid of some boxes) and one of the best things, I am already getting to the point that I don't need my GPS with me! Now that is something for a directionally challenged person.

The girls are finally getting settled in. The house has been an adjustment for them because in the town house you could stand in the living room or the kitchen and see that there was someone in the other room (this was a comfort for the girls). Now, if Katie is in the bedroom, or the kitchen, the girls call for her to make sure she is still there, or they go running to find her. They met Dave and Bonnie's girls and for Gracie, it was like they had always known each other. Claire is doing very well. She follows Gracie around everywhere still, and she is still climbing up everything.

Our first Sunday was great. One of the big differences is that I now have to be up at 6:30 to be at Epiphany School by 7:30 to set up for service. The set up is no big thing, it's getting up so early. I guess it's a good thing I have been getting up that early anyway.

Mike and the worship team did a great job, and Dave's sermon was on point. (If you don't already, you can subscribe to the podcast on itunes or go to www.tworiverschurch.com and there is a link to take you to the audio).

I did get a chance to play golf with Dave and two other guys from church. We had a great time... even though it was wet and cold. I played terribly, but fun none the less. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and thoughts. We still haven't sold our house in Y-town, so please be in prayer for that.
