Fun with Friends

Got the chance to go back to Marion after the holidays... The trip was quite enjoyable. I spent Friday and Saturday with my good friends the Campbell family. Todd Bushong, Jacob Bills, Ryan Hutchinson and the whole Boivin family were there for a Friday night gathering. It was like Bodyshop reruns from about 5 years ago. It was wonderful to see them all. Check out Dan's bands CD when it drops in March "Death of Fashion". Of go to their website for more info. On Saturday I had the chance to see my good friends the Crisps house. Paul has been a great friend of mine over the years that has gotten me out of so many jams I can't even tell you. Paul is the kind of guy that would do anything to help a friend. He's a great guy and his family has been blessed with an amazing home. It's like God saying good things can happen to those that serve him.

On Sunday I went to Exit 59 church in Gas City, IN. If you are in the Grant County area and have a Sunday available you should check out a service. You even get to have Latte's in the sanctuary (which if you like coffee is cool, if you're like me and hate coffee the service is still cool to attend). In the evening I went to a totally different kind of chuch in Indianapolis simply called Trinity. A gathering of people getting to know Christ better. It was also very cool and another friend of mine is a Pastor their. David Zigler, if you know him, is a great guy from the Indy area that I had the pleasure of knowing in College. He and his wife allowed me to stay with them Sunday and Monday night. That was a blast. Zig and I even got to watch the Colts game from Champs downtown. And let me tell you this. Watching the game in a sportsbar in Indy as opposed to a basement in Michigan is wonderful. Go Colts.

Tuesday I had to leave Indiana and come back here to Michigan. Which was sad to leave friends again, but it was alright since I had to leave my best friend here. One thing I've realized as I've gone through all I've gone through the past few months is that friends are more important than anything else in this world. Also I am the luckiest man in the world for having found the greatest girl in the world to spend my life with. I don't know where I would be without Lynnette. She seems to make any situation better. Even being unemployed and homeless. I know things can always get worse, and our situation isn't the best right now, but I'm thankful for my wife and family and friends all over this world we live in.

Thanks to all that made my Indiana trip so wonderful. I miss you all. And to all my friend elsewhere in the world, I miss you too and wish you were here.
