This was what I was worried about...

OK, OK...it's been a while since my last post.

One of the reasons I put off starting this blog was that I was concerned that life would get hectic and I wouldn't be able to keep up as well as I want to. So here we are...

Here's a quick breakdown of my last couple of weeks:

May 29 - work in the am, home with E and Katy in the pm while Anna was at Phillip's school party, parents arrive at SA airport at 11:00pm
May 30 - volunteer at NBHS project graduation from 1:00am-3:00am, last day of school, vacation begins, parents visiting
May 31 - vacation, parents visiting
June 1 - preach FPC Contemporary service, Time Warner taping, river tubing incident

June 3 - vacation, parents visiting
June 4 - vacation, parents visiting
June 5 - vacation, parents depart SA airport at 6:45am

June 13 - day off, tile job almost completed, clean the garage in the am, anniversary celebratory dinner and movie with wife in the evening
June 14 - 11th anniversary, at grocery store by 8:00am with Elijah, hot dog handout at river from 1:00-3:00pm
June 15 - Father's Day, preach FPC 8:00 Traditional service, preach FPC 10:30 Traditional service, Father's Day lunch with Adams' and Coulombe's, nap, watch US Open, watching NBA Finals as I blog this

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Here's the thing. I've got quite a few things to blog about, but my life is hectic right now. I'm going to try to put my best effort in here, but I'm not making any promises. VBS is next week, the youth Colorado trip is right around the corner, and a thousand other things.

Please don't give up on me!

Until next time - RevPhil

That is busy! But letting your "yes" be "yes" is only difficult when you are really busy, right?

The most concrete way to tell my kids I love them is for me to say "no" to other obligations, even "righteous" obligations.

Phil:

I will take any amount of RevPhil I can get!

You are a busy man with all of your obligations and I know it must be hard to commit to another one and not want to let any one of them suffer, especially the family ones. You can only do what you can do. Although, I check this page at least twice a day to see if there is something new, this blog should be towards the bottom of the priority list.

You are an awesome person. I know I speak for Kimberly and myself when I say that our lives are more fulfilled knowing you and your family. Kim and I struggled for a long time to find a church home, but with every passing week we know that we have definitely found a family to grow with. The time we have spent with the Browns and Coulumbe's has been great so far and we look forward to any time we get together.

In summation:

-You and your family are Awesome!
-Let the blog slide sometimes.
-I will take any amount of RevPhil I can. (Even if I give you a hard time about it. I'm probably just a little low on my Phil fix. Nothin but love!)
-Our Softball Team Rocks!!!

It's good to have you back. This is my second-best source of keeping up with the TX contingent of the Browns.
