Okay everyone….whew…what a couple weeks it has been!!!
I was in Atlanta, GA for training with Pitney Bowes, and am on my way to becoming a Certified Postal Consultant! Who would’ve thought, eh? Well, if you have any questions on document creation, mailpiece production, mail discounts and rates, and shipping/recieving issues….I’m your man.
Anyways, after a couple weeks of lectures/notes/projects…I finished the week strong with a 99% on my final exam. Why, you might ask, didn’t I get such a good grade back in college? Hmm…I have only one excuse.
You can hold knowledge of the USPS in your brain.
Knowledge/thoughts on God are a bit harder to figure out.
I realize that’s a bad excuse…but deal with it. hehe.
I also turned 24 while I was gone, here’s an update on my birthday list:
Mom got me a phat coffee maker that grinds AND brews.
Sarah got me The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Through Painted Deserts, Seinfeld Season 4, Really good granola, and……
2 TICKETS TO SEE THE WINGS BEAT THE HAWKS ON OCTOBER 29th!!!! WHOO HOO!!!! That’s right, my incredibly phenomenal see right through me wife looked right past my official birthday list and got me something I’ll never forget!!! I may have to take her shopping in Chicago that day to prepare her for hockey…but I don’t care…:) I’m so excited!!!
One last thing…got a letter from a teen today. A girl we had in youth group back in Iowa, who had made some bad choices. It’s great to hear she’s doing well. It’s a gift from God to know my time there had an impact on her life. It’s a gift of HOPE for every single tomorrow, knowing the time spent with any given teenager can be multiplied by the infinite through Christ…and can impact His Kingdom greatly.

Any recommendations would be appreciated for reading, plus i don’t think i can be on the computer saturday for that nhl draft thing, so just do it for me if you can? I’d appreciate it! Love you much!
