Whew….busy weekend.  Here we go, update time.  Well, Sarah and I have felt like poop for the last few days, week for me.  I gave her what I got, and now we’re both infected with some sort of tonsilitis/cold/cough thing that keeps me hackin’ up half the night.  Keith Dixon pointed out how nasty it would actually be to cough up a lung.  Hm….gross.

Anyways, Friday I spent most of the day just chillin’, and nursing my throat.  Friday night, we realized Sarah was sick as all get out along with me, so we both just sat and ate soup and crackers all night.  It was romantic.

Saturday we took Sarah to the doctor, and like the screwball I am, didn’t even mention that I was sick.  She got meds, I got jack.  We also met with our lawyer, because Sarah’s school is being quite difficult with letting her go.  Apparently she’s the best teacher in the world, and nobody else in Cedar Rapids would be able to replace her…cause they’re threatening ta’ sue her for all the damages they’ll experience if she leaves.  I don’t wanna put any names, or even the school name on here, cause this could probably be used against me in a court of law….or something.  Anyways, praise God we’re friends with a lawyer who’s helping us out.  Who knows, they may just be bluffing, but it’s better to be prepared, just in case.  I’ll update you if we get served any papers.  It’s amazing to me sometimes how inhumane some people can treat life.  Sarah’s been told by (someone I shouldn’t name) that she’s wrong for putting family first.  Work should be first priority.  Hmm…something’s wrong with this picture.  Anyways, I could go on forever about how idiotic the whole situation is….but that would probably be brought against me someday.  So I just smile, and listen to LA Symphony “Everything’s gonna be alright”.

Sunday…whew.  Pastor Tim has pneumonia, and that trumps my cold thing.  So we had a speaker lined up already sunday morning…praise the Lord.  But I still had to teach childrens’ church…which was actually pretty fun.  I love kids, and I think I might even be good with them.  This is where all parents would probably laugh and say “you know nothing”.  Okay, well, I had fun at least.  Then I taught Sunday school….and everyone stayed awake!! I think, at least.  It went well, I thought.  It was nice ta’ see Tyler Green again…I like that boy.  Sunday night I had to preach, which leads me to unveiling my new invention….

PRAUGHT – to have preached.  Past tense form of preach.  ie. – I “praught” last night, because pastor was sick.  I don’t think praught is officially a word YET, but with your help we can push it!!  Use it as much as possible, and daily spread it to at least one more person.  Eventually Mr. Webster will take notice…and they can trace it all the way back to Chadwick Anderson’s xanga.  Yes, I will get credit for a word.  Moo haha.  Look out scrabble….here I come.

Anyways, I praught on Romans, and the life of Paul.  Who would Paul define himself as?  Pharisee?  Tent weaver? Preacher?  nope..Check out Romans 1 for Paul’s introduction of himself.  It’s the same for each of us….which is really cool.

Anyways, I’m headin out to Iowa City soon, ta’ catch lunch with the Steapp crew and friends.  They got the day off, God bless Martin Luther King Jr.  For some reason, Sarah’s school didn’t get the day off…hmm.  No comment, cause once again, I could have to eat it. (stupid school) Sorry, that one leaked.  Anyways…God bless….and Amen.
