Adventures in Following

So here is the plan.  I am going to have two blogs.  Murphy's 3rd Law and Adventures in Following.
Murphy's 3rd Law will be for posting pictures and all the crazy adventures we Murphys find our selves on.  Adventures in Following will be a collection of thinking and processing what God is at work doing in me, around me, and through me.  I hope these will become places of connection with family and friends that Jesus has blessed us with.  Join us for the adventure.

hard to describe....

Here are some snippets from the beginning of the transition.

Met a wonderful person at the hotel because of a room mix up. We end up praying in the hotel lobby, then later on she hands us some money to help us on our journey.

The drive up was not bad at all, we were very ready to get out of the cars. 

The apartment is great.

About an hour after getting there. The pastor, Mark Stephens, his wife and a couple of families from the church brought us pizza and some nice gifts welcoming us.  We are all very excited about getting to know each other and serving together.

The cross and flame necklace the Trinity staff has given me has started more conversations than I would have expected.  I met our next door neighbor, Matt LeRoy, who pointed out the cross and come to find out he is a pastor at Love Chapel Hill and his wife, Sarah.  They are expecting twins.  We are looking forward to having them as great neighbors.

 I have been overwhelmed by the amount of love and support we have received from everyone. Thank you.

We ended the night by praying in every room in the house, then story time as we camped out on air mattresses. 

Now we are waiting for our stuff to show up so we can make the house a home.

Just add pressure

Mom and Dad gave us this water bottle rocket launcher years ago, and it is still offering up hours of fun. We have gotten brave and started just holding it instead of mounting the launcher in the ground.

Ethan's Baseball season dramatic close


Ethan's team, Ponchatoulas, won their semi final game and then played against Ruston Locker Room for the championship.  After the 2nd inning it was tied up and they had to play another inning. We were winning for a little bit and then held it to a tie game all the way to their last batter. Then their last batter knocked in the winning run. So Ethan's team finished 2nd. It was a fun game and the kids did great!

He was tired when we got home after 9pm. when the first game was at 6.
