Updates

I have several updates to share with you so here goes:

1. The house - we had a showing on Saturday afternoon. The feedback was both good and bad. The good was that the potential buyers liked the house, the realtor commented that it was a great floorplan and was very clean and organized, that it showed well. The bad was that her clients did not like the location, they want to have easier access to I-20 for their commute to work. So, there is nothing we can do about that - we take the positive feedback from the 2 showings that we had and just know that we have done everything we can do to this point and now it's a matter of just the right buyer wanting it. So, we covet your prayers in two ways - one that the house would sell and two that we would wait on the Lord in the mean time and trust His sovereignty.

2. The Byron Nelson - we went on Saturday morning. We got to the course (after riding the shuttle from Texas Stadium) around 10 a.m. The weather was BEAUTIFUL. We walked around a bit and then found a great spot on #17. It's a par 3 so we sat at the green but could watch the tee box too especially with our binoculars. I wish I had pics but no cell phones and no cameras were allowed. The course was beautiful and we had a wonderful day. We did go to the Kids Zone at the end and played a game of putt-putt with Kelsie and we had fun doing that - I had two holes in one and so therefore beat both of the golfers in the family and I am not a golfer at all - beginners luck.

3. The clock inscription - The sad inscription on the back of the clock says From Your "last choir" Wedgwood Baptist Church and then the dates we were there. It's sad b/c it's a reference Wayne made in rehearsal - he told the choir they would always be so special to him b/c they were likely the last choir we would have. But, while that is sad enough - what is really behind that is the fact that we weren't just a choir that meets once a week to sing together. We are a family! We still think of the choir, band, media, etc as that - our Wedgworship Family. We love you and always will - remember that.

4. FBC Prosper - Today was our first day with Wayne being the "Celebration Pastor" at FBC. Wayne did not lead worship today, he spent the morning observing things like greeters, rehearsal, sound during the services, etc. The church honored Dr. Toney (the music interim) for the job he has done filling in - he really has a sweet spirit and has done a great job keeping the team together and moving forward. Kelsie and I only made it to the second service b/c we had to drive this a.m. but they were working on the house today so we could stay there next week and won't have to drive on Sunday mornings. Kelsie found a few of her little friends and they sat together while Wayne and I sat more toward the back together. After church, they had a taco lunch youth fundraiser so we went to that and had a good time visiting with different people. Also, they auctioned off desserts and some went for $200 to which Kelsie was shocked. She thought that was overpriced for a pie or cake until I explained it to her. I'm sure she was sitting there thinking at these prices she was never going to get brownies, cake or pie ever again! After lunch, we went to Ikea to get Wayne a bookshelf and some chairs for his office. We found a book shelf that would work and took it back to the church to be put together at a later date. We had to rush out of there after that b/c the Apple store in Plano closed at 6 and Wayne needed to pick up his computers after they have transferred files this last week. Hopefully we can get his iphone up and running tomorrow and he will be fully functional with computer and phone.

That's the latest. I will keep you posted on the house. Keep praying for us during this transition - it's been a difficult one in many ways. Also, as I mentioned before, just that God would protect our hearts from doubt and weariness and that He would continue giving us the strength to finish strong here - Kelsie's school and my job. More later.
