It's been too long...




I know, I know! It’s been a while since we last wrote any updates. Please forgive us, but life has been soooooo busy for us lately. It seems that the older Malachi gets, the more he keeps us busy as we try to keep him entertained. So here’s some updates:

1. We’ve moved from Groves to Nederland, Texas to another two bedroom apartment, which is an incredible savings for us. The bedrooms are a little smaller, however, the living room and kitchen is much bigger. The living room is big enough for us to have our Elliptical Machine in there! The landlord even let us paint the apartment, so it really looks nice. Though the apartment is a little further from the church (Impact) by about 15 minutes, it’s much close to Lamar University (where I work).

2. At Impact, we now have two worship services: Sundays at 11am and Tuesdays at 6:30pm. Both services occur on Central Standard Time and can be view on the web at http://www.impactumc.org/ The Tuesday service is called Soul Food Tuesday: Feeding the Body and Soul. We serve a Soul Food dinner every 1st and 3rd Tuesday and on all other Tuesdays, we just serve refreshments. At our very first Soul Food Tuesday, we had approximately 68 people in attendance. The best part about it is that Tuesday is a totally different sermon topic.

3. On Tuesday, November 17, our new Director of Worship Arts will be starting. For the past few weeks we have been worshipping to tracks and worship DVDs. Now don’t get it twisted, we’ve still been getting our praise on. It’s been a real test: Can one still worship without a band or without a worship leader? We found the answer to be YES!

4. Anissa took Malachi to a modeling audition and he did well. She walked him down the runway and everything. Of course he was all smiles and everyone loved him. But, it was just one of the mall model search things, so it was really just for fun. Anissa doesn’t think they are legit.

5. Finally, if you are available to come to watch our worship service on the web on Sunday, we will have a very special guest speaking this Sunday. He is none other than Father, Husband, Brother, Son and Friend of the Year: JERMALE D. EDDIE. Please keep me lifted in prayer during the preparation and delivery of God’s message through me.

The pictures are Malachi in his Halloween costume, and a super cute smile from Malachi at 4 months old.
