Highs and Lows

From Mike:
Aside from working, eating, sleeping, and working out, not a lot has happened in the past two weeks. Here are the highlights (and lowlights?):

Last Monday, we went to Heather and Daniel’s house for dinner and a little quality time. While Heather and Kelly stayed upstairs and chatted, Daniel and I were in the basement playing Resident Evil 5 on the Playstation 3, which is actually a fairly decent game! I didn’t realize until later that evening that I completely failed to live up to my Lent promise of not playing Playstation 3 for 40 days…whoops! God shall surely smite me for that one…

Saturday we drove down to the Glenmoor Country Club in Cherry Hills for the wedding reception of our friends Greg and Misty. They had the ceremony in Maui, so we were glad they decided to cater to their less affluent friends and family by having the reception a little closer to home. We enjoyed the cocktail hour and open bar, but the best part was the dinner. They served us Filet Oscar which was amazing. I had never heard of it before, but the filet mignon, crab meat, and asparagus drenched in béarnaise sauce was pretty much the most delicious food combination I have ever eaten in my entire life!

On a much more serious note, some of you may know that our good friend Beth’s uncle, Randy, has been fighting cancer for awhile now. Well, sadly, his fight ended Tuesday night. Please be in prayer for Beth and her family as they cope with their loss. It’s always hard to lose a loved one, especially when it’s well before they’re time, so our thoughts and prayers are with them.

That’s pretty much it…God bless you all this weekend as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, His precious gift of salvation, and His victory over sin and death!
