I Rode Home In the Snow!!!

I (Geoff) just had to write and let you know that after a day of work and a seminary class, I rode my bicycle home in the snow tonight around 9pm. 30 degrees, a light gentle snow falling with an inch or two already covering the ground...... glorious!

News update - Escrow again plus......

We appreciate those of you who have been praying for the sale of our house. We are actually solidly back in escrow again with a new buyer and we should close by Dec. 3rd.

In other news Connor got his first report card and his GPA (at least the way they do it out here) is over 97%! And that's with 3 honors classes (one of which he has a 101% in......crazy!!!).

Also, BayLynn will be starting basketball this Monday out of the pressure of some of her friends. She's never really played organized ball before, but she's looking forward to the experience and team camaraderie.

Susan and BayLynn spent a whole lot of time last Saturday at a "Girls Night Out" event from some people from the college and community. That had a great time and we were starting to wonder when they were coming home.

Geoff's done travelling for the most part for the rest of the year (except for one little trip to central PA in December). The camps, churches, youth groups and schools have been a blast. He's done a lot of speaking AND singing and has really enjoyed meeting with a variety of people and students - helping them discover God's call and giftedness in their lives. Last weekend he and Connor were privileged to be part of the music team for the "Growing Leaders Conference" at BBC. There was about 110 high school students who came for this event. Geoff also did a workshop on "Relational Artistry" and being a "Worship Servant," called "So You Wanna Be A Rockstar." Connor attended a workshop on risk that he said was awesome. It had to have been something for him to say that. Fun times, PRAISE GOD!!! Onward.....

Snow Day!!!

Well, some of you perhaps heard about the extraordinarily early snow we had here in Clarks Summit a couple of weeks ago. I (Geoff) just happened to be in Michigan when it hit so I saw none of it in person. BUT, boy, did the kids ever have a ball! We new we'd get some snow days, but not until December at the earliest, most likely more like January. But no, October 28th was the day God chose for our first snow day. Word is there was not snow this early in these parts since the 70's. Regardless, it's just plain fun. Here are some pictures (the one with Connor on the phone is when he's talking to me as I'm driving to an appointment outside of Detroit; pretty ingenius phone holder, eh?).
