We rewired over 60 data locations in just 3 Monday nights, and the work couldn’t have been done without our awesome volunteers.  I just wanted to say thanks again to Steve T, Wayne T, Gene S, Mark B, John S, and Bob P.  Guys your heart for kingdom ministry is awesome and with out your help we couldn’t do what we do!  Ceiling Tile Dust and carting around ladders is more fun with you guys around!

A couple crazy photos from our work nights:

This is a prime example of why we decided to re-wire! Scotch locks on Data wiring NOOOO!

Steve has a history of wanting to drive… granted there have been a few accidents, but when it was time to clean up we had something special for him to drive that was fairly accident proof.

Thanks to our volunteers our VOIP migration has an end in site.

I baptized several people in each of the services but one individual was most ‘memorable’. 

This particularly ‘memorable’ baptism made me think back to my practical ministry class in college where we all went to the pool and practiced dunking each of our classmates so we would know how to baptize people without falling over or leaving the person under the water etc.  But one thing they didn’t teach usin that class was to watch out for wild flying punches.

One of the guys I was baptizing who will remain nameless (to protect the not so innocent) was so excited when he came out of the water he jumped up with both fists in the air.  Well both fists were in the air AFTER one made contact squarely on my left eye.  After seeing a few stars, turned my back to the crowd not knowing what my face looked like and assured my wet friend everything was ok.  I was just happy I didn’t fall over knocked out cold.

I spent the next few hours wondering if I would wake up on Monday with a black eye as a Baptism weekend souvenir.  Luckily I didn’t have such a souvenir.

During the baptism services photographers were snapping shots to catch the exciting moments for each of those being baptized and they caught this action shot.
