Happy Easter! Today was a great day, but not so great for this tree last night. There were really high winds & rain last night & this morning on the way to church there were branches & leaves blown all about. By the donut shop in town this tree was split in half & it definitely made me double take as I drove by.

I found a new friend while I was walking Sadie today. He (or she, you never know) was chilling up on the second floor checking us out.

No more couch or blue chair in the living room. It's weird seeing it so empty in there. Thanks to Lee for helping me move the old couch out.

There are so many wildfire burning around the Big Country & its getting crazy. I woke up this morning & could smell the smoke from the fires in Abilene. Our cars even had ashes from the fires on them. I hope the fires get under control soon or rain comes soon so that no more people will get hurt & no more property/homes/or businesses will get destroyed.

We had to give little Socks back to the SPCA today because of a lot of different reasons. I knew it would be hard, but it was way harder to give him up than I had thought it would be. I really love that little guy & I hope that he can find a good home sometime soon.

Today was a good day. I started it off by preaching at my church in Anson, followed by a great lunch with a very grumpy waitress. Then Liz & I went to the new-look Abilene Zoo & had a blast! The zoo is so awesome! We loved it!

Liz & I heard this really weird noise coming from the laundry room this afternoon & when we went to investigate the sound, it turned out to be Socks stuck behind the washing machine. What a little goober!

Creole for "City of Hope", Cite' Lespwa is a fantastic event organizer by Lindsey Lowry to raise funds & awareness for the 800,000 people in Haiti still living in tents. It has been going on since Tues night & will continue until next Tuesday. I sent some time out there today for RLC lunch & did a little panhandling & it was really awesome seeing how generous the people of Abilene can really be. If you have a chance definitely go check out Cite' Lespwa!

Today was our day without shoes at McMurry & I was blown away with how it went! There were so many people who joined us by going barefoot & there was a great turn out for the prayer walk at 7. We were even in the news on KTAB & KTXS for what we were doing so I got to talk to reporters & they filmed a lot of us during the day which is always neat. We got so much great press for our Cite' Lespwa so I really hopeful that it has a great turnout. God is good!

So the tail gate on this truck had the most "Anti-Obama" collection of stickers & junk that I've seen since the super sketchy gas station that we stopped at on the way home from our MTC retreat in New Mexico. I can understand not always liking the President & different things, but you should at least be respectful to the man since he his running your country. & if you are that upset about him being president then you can always move somewhere else (& then probably complain about the leadership in that country too).

This little house is about 2 blocks away from where we live right now. Liz & I would very much like to live here. Ok good talk.

This is my new friend at McMurry. I have no idea where this little guy came from but he was following me around through the Quad this morning so I stopped & hung out with him for a few mins. He's a pretty "cool cat" ZING!

So here's something that you don't see everyday: a train passing through town about a block down from the intersection of South 11th & Treadaway. It was very, very surprising to turn the corner & see a train chugging along.

I had my first sub job at Clue Elementary School today for a second grade class. It was quite the experience but I enjoyed it very much. The kids seemed to enjoy me too & I got a lot of hugs They liked my name I guess so a few of them wrote me some sticky notes with my name all over them as a going-away present.
