Our Little Firefighter

From 3 different places...Rain boots - Target. Firefighter rain jacket - garage sale. Firefighter hat - Wal-Mart. And an amazing ensemble came together...one that is sure to become a favorite to our little guy. The rain boots have become a favorite to (try to) wear anywhere. I'm sure, as most kids do, he will also go thru a phase where he is very specific to what he wears. Luckily we're not there yet, but I know that he does love wearing these boots...so I wouldn't doubt those will be in the repertoire when that time comes.

GO 'STROS!

Well, the Astros haven't been having a great year so far, but we had to still hit up a game. It's always a fun thing to do as a family. It cracks us up when Brayden sees a hit, he goes, "WOOOOAH!!!!" So fun!

Good Friends, Good Times

It was so great to get to see our good friends, Greg and Becky, this past weekend. We loved having them come stay with us...even though they came down to root against the Astros in the 'Stros vs. Rangers game. Brayden had a blast getting to play with their kids - Reese & Abby. We went down to Discovery Green park and had lunch and let the kids play in the water fountains. What a blast! Thanks for coming down to visit, Stamps!

Beach Retreat Update - Monday

One day down at Beach Retreat 2010, and so far it's been a great time. It was neat today to hear of a leader who got some one-on-one time with a student during free time and led her to Christ. Praise the Lord! We look forward to many more stories like this throughout the week, and wait expectantly for God to move in amazing ways.

We had a great afternoon out in the sun; what a beautiful day it was! Thankfully no oil so far - ha! The students had fun out in the sand playing volleyball and out by the pool.

Tonight, all 5 campuses gathered together at our meeting place - The Wharf - for an amazing time of worship and a great message about how God uses us when we're willing to be dangerous against the status quo and live a bold life for His name and renown.

If you didn't get to see a live streaming of the worship during our service tonight, check it out tomorrow night at 8pm at http://blogs.second.org/brx/live

Keep praying - God is doing amazing things!
