So I’m not usually the type to believe the “all things happen for a reason” type of theology, and I’m not saying it was God’s plan to have me lock my keys in the car today, but instead it may have been exactly what I was asking God to show me....

I wrote this back in may and forgot to post it so here we go:

So lately I have had a huge list of articles in my “to-read” list as it was but it exploded when this Osama thing happened.

This topic has also been a huge topic on both Facebook and Twitter. I have been seeing responses both incredibly inspiring and …otherwise I wanted to post my response.

Thanks Glen!

Our friend Glen from the Avenue is an amazing artist, he both paints and plays guitar and loves to give gifts. He gave us this sunflower painting that we hung in our bedroom, and will look great when we get the new house hanging somewhere where everyone can see it. Glen also did a seahorse painting for my mom's birthday specifically for her. We are blessed to have such great friends as him. Also in this photo I cut my hair. Photo after the fold

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

The Avenue had a big celebration during service sunday honoring mothers - mothers of young children came up and had a baby dedication. Ben prayed for the children including his own Claire who they adopted less than a year ago. Check out the photos below and contact me at abezuska@gmail.com if you want a Hi-Res copy of any of the photos my talented wife Melissa took!

The weather is great - lets meet in the park

Our app group (application group) is the small group we meet with each week from our church, we normally meet at Karl and Jill Halverson's house and have breakfast - and everyone brings something. We normally talk about the weeks theme at the Avenue and go over the verses that Ben will be speaking about.
