Hello Everyone!
I am in Boston, well Newton to be exact. I have been here for a month now. It is a great place. I am working on pictures right now to post but don't have them yet. Things are progressing well. It is very busy right now with trying to start a new education program at the church. If you want to see the church go to www.fbcnewton.org and you can search to your heart's delight. There will be a biography of me up there soon. I just need someone to write a good one about me. I am preaching for the first time on Sunda, September 3rd!
I just got word that my favorite baseball player Javy Lopez is now a Boston Red Sox. He missed me so much that he had to follow me up to Boston!!! And he is wearing my favorite number too!!! 23 (NO - that is NOT for Michael Jordan)
I have learned a lot here so far. They are proud of the Sox and hate the Yankees. They need to have a Ukrops bad!!! They are very organic food minded. The T is a great way to travel, unless the Sox are in town. There are more than 60 LIGHTHOUSES in Massachusetts!!!! Irish pubs are very popular. Newton is the safest city in the United States. Go figure. I left the 2nd murder capital in the country for the safest city!!! A heat wave up here is considered 92 degrees. Although, we did hit 98 degrees during the week of the country wide heat wave! I have only used the air conditioner twice since I have been here. And would you believe I have only filled my car ONCE since I have been here?!! Everything is so close to where I live. I can walk or be there in five-ten minutes.
I am almost by myself as far as being a Duke cheerleader. They have Boston College here, so I gotta watch out. EVERYONE goes away for the summer. It gets so cold during the winter that they have to jump ship in order to have a break for a couple of months.
Well, I gotta go. Lots to do and it is a BEAUTIFUL DAY here - blue sky and 73 degrees.
