Church Planting

New churches often connect new people with the message of Jesus. Since connecting new people with the message of Jesus is one of my main passions, we have decided to plant a new church. After putting off doing a solo church plant a few months ago. We are very glad that we have waited to find the North Richland Hills Church of Christ as our church plant’s mother church. So after Avery is born in a few weeks, we will move to Fort Worth, TX to work with Richland Hills for six months or so until we plant our new church. Please keep us in your prayers during this time of transition.

Having a new baby isn’t stressful enough, right? So why not add selling a house, moving and starting a new job at the same time?

Cardboard Testimonies

Suitors problems and The Stache

I’ve had plenty of people make comments about their child dating Avery, but I came face to face with the enemy for the first time this week. While he seems like a nice kid, that doesn’t change the fact that he is trying to steal my daughter from me. So when he asked upon his evil father’s nudging,
“Mr. Luke, Will you introduce me to Avery?”
I quickly informed him that he would never meet her, ever. I felt pretty good about the interaction, but I think when I unintentionally grabbed a knife it might have been a little bit over the top.

Jason Giambi of the Yankees has been wearing a massive caterpillar on his upper lip and he is playing much better since its arrival. Despite this masculine display the lip fur couldn’t get him in the all-star game. Maybe Barry Bonds should grow one and he could actually get signed to play for a big league team this season.

Church Signs

Today my sister-in-law texted me this line she saw written on a church sign in Zepher, TX-

Don't like church? What will you do in Heaven?

It goes next to the other popular church billboard lines-

Eternity- smoking or non-smoking?
CH- CH- What's missing? UR

We have all seen some pretty funny/horrible stuff written on church billboards, so what are some of the more memorable church signs that you have seen?

Chlo-zac

Preparing for Avery's arrival next month has affected all of us in the Norsworthy household. I have been reading my What to Expect When Your Expecting and learning many things which I never thought I would have to know about. Lindsay has been, well, caring around Avery in her stomach for eight months. And now our dogs, at least one of them, wants to participate in the preparation. Our female, Chloe, has decided (or has been decided for her) that her pre-partum depression is too much for her to deal with on her own and so she is now on a K-9 version of Prozac. I am sure there are some Tom Cruise-ish readers out there who will scoff at her anxiety problem, but it is quite common for dogs to have anxiety problems.

I will keep you all updated on Chlozac's response to her medication.

Anniversary

On Saturday Lindsay and I celebrated our fifth anniversary. It seems like just yesterday Lindsay walked down the isle in downtown Austin as Jeff Berry played the piano. But in these five years we have experienced a lot, and I know that soon we will experience a great deal more of life. In these years I see that I am one of the lucky ones that married someone better than I deserve. But as you all know marriage takes work and sacrifice. It sure is easier to work on your relationship when you see the other person is working just as hard as you or even harder. I truly am lucky to have such a great partner who will share life with me.
