Guys Night!

           Sitting here blogging after going downtown for drinks with friends. Tried a Gin and Sour for the first time. Wasn't bad at all. Now am sitting here, trying to compose my thoughts. I have a group of Guys that are involved in RUF over every Thursday night for "Guys Night." We have fellowship, and talk about practical ways that we can help each other as Christian guys in a warring world to practically allow Christ to live out His life in us. We have food, provided by my roommates and I, followed by some great fellowship time, and some discussion. The Lord has really been using it to challenge me, and I think the guys get a lot out of it. We had probably our best night for both attendance and subject. Talked on a lot of great stuff, and finished with some great prayer time. I look forward to next Thursday.

           Yeah onto something else, I am going home this weekend. My sister is moving out of her current house into a new one, and needs some help. Should be fun, and I will definitely enjoy seeing people again. I also have to pick up my plane ticket for next week. Am flying out over Fall break, to hopefully catch the birth of my first and only nephew in AZ. I can't describe how much I am looking forward to that. Hopefully he will hold off until I get there, but we will see what the Lord has in mind. My prayer is that he will be as close to Christ throughout his life as his parents are, and grandmother is. II Timothy 1:5 really comes to mind. Paul believed Timothy to have a great faith, much like the one found in his mother Eunice and Grandmother Lois. I believe Bauer will come to a place of great faith, directly because of his mother Kayce Smith, and grandmother Deborah VanDeusen. His association to these women of God notwithstanding, I have every confidence in him as a child of the covenant. These thoughts make me very excited to see how he will influence the world as he grows and matures in Christ, and I can't wait to go along for the ride.
Anyways, got an early class tomorrow, and a long drive home tomorrow night so I am hitting the sack.

In Christ,
Kyle
