they come baring gifts...

My pastor from my home church in Texas, Keith Spurgin, is the speaker this week. He doesn’t really have a title for what he is speaking on. It’s somewhat on Leadership, somewhat on Relationships. He shared practical lessons for any relationships that you might have - how to handle conflict, 4 levels of communication, how to build lasting and life changing relationships. Very practical things to know. I’ve actually heard him speak on this before, but it’s been a reminder.

It’s always nice to see a friend that you haven’t seen in a while, but it’s even better if you know that they are baring gifts! My family sent some gifts with Keith for me. They don’t have chocolate chips in South Africa, so I asked my mom to send some and she sent SIX bags. Holy-moly! They also sent some DVDs that I asked for. I’ve been reading Lord of the Rings and it made me want to watch them, so they sent them and a few others. I think Kathryn (Hodge) put it best when she said (while we were opening the dvds), “I love your family!” I agree, I love my family… and not just for sending me Lord of the Rings!
