What's Up Wednesday --- October 1st

1) Next week Jen's brother (Jason) is getting married in Florida. We will be taking a train from Altoona PA, to Jacksonville, FL (24 hour trip) next Wednesday and won't return until the following Wednesday. So I will also be taking a 2-week vacation from blogging starting on Monday. Since it is Jason's big week...I'll share something about him on Family/Friend Friday this week.

2) Since it is looking more and more like Jen and I will be leaving Ashland soon, we are doing a shift of leadership for our class at the church (All-4-1). Tonight I will be meeting with a potential new leader for the class along with one of the pastors. We are hoping for a change to take place by November 1st.

3) Also tonight I have elder's meeting in which we will be looking at and hopefully approving next year's budget (which may include a part-time pastor position) as well as finishing our discussion on the book Trusting God.

4) Finishing up a busy night will be an attempted trip to the detention home to visit a girl named Courtney. She has been abandoned by her mom and is there waiting for a foster family to take her in and never gets any visitors during visiting hours. To be allowed to have a 1-to-1 visit, you have to have parent/guardian permission which is obviously an issue since she doesn't have anyone. They have been trying to get permission for us from the mom but she is not returning calls...so hopefully we can get in to visit with her tonight!

5) We also got to see the new Fireproof movie over the weekend. Great movie! Go see it if you get the chance.
