Plugging the Leak

Last Saturday, I noticed water coming up out of the ground close to our driveway. I knew immediately what was going on, because this was now the third time in two weeks this has happened on our street - water main break. So, I called the city. They came out and got to work. But as you can see, they had to take out part of my driveway as well. The good news is, I can use a new driveway; and the city should be responsible for it, because they were the ones to dig it up. The bad news is all they've done so far is fill it with a fine gravel. Stay tuned to see what happens next.

Emma's Surgery Tomorrow

On Thursday, Emma will have surgery to put tubes in her ears and remove her adnoids. Procedure is supposed to take about a half hour. Abby will be at a friends house so Sheri and I can focus on Emma. We talked to her about it, but she doesn't seem worried or even cares. Let's see when we get to the hospital tomorrow! Pray for the surgeon's skill and wisdom and for a quick recovery.

About Time

I happened to wander back to my blog and noticed I haven't posted for over three weeks! So here's just some headlines to bring you up to speed:
Last week was busy. Girls were in VBS and I was working in VBS. That Thursday, I flew to Dallas to represent Hope Lutheran Church for the 58th Convention of the Texas District of the LCMS. Rather tame convention. Good preaching throughout.
This week, we found out from a specialist that Emma will have to have tubes in her ears and her adnoids removed. Doing that will help reduce the number of ear and sinus infections she gets. Procedure will be July 9th.
Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Ordination into the Office of the Holy Ministry and Installation as Associate Pastor at Hope. That was a quick three years. Looking forward to more.
That's the news from Friendswood.
