Crazy Weekend

This past weekend was a very emotional and busy weekend. My week started by finding out Dave Jester, the father of one of my best friends, Adam, was not doing well. Dave had been battling cancer for around 5 years, and passed away last week. So Keshia and I headed up to Michigan friday for the visitation, and I stayed Saturday for the funeral. It was nice to see some old friends, but an emotional time saying goodbye to Dave, and hurting for my friend Adam and his family.
Also Saturday night we had a Fusion Girls Night, which was a huge success. Over 50 girls came, and had a great time. I am so proud of my female volunteers for pulling of a great  night, and for taking the opportunity to connect with our girl students. Some great conversations happened that night. I was unable to make it there due to the funeral, which I was sad about but obviously my priority was in Michigan.

Then we had to switch from grieving to celebrating because Keshia graduated with her Masters on Sunday! It was a great day of celebration. Both of our parents and Keshias brother and girlfriend came down. We got to hang out and have dinner later that night together. I am so proud of Keshia for this accomplishment, she has worked extremely hard to make this happen. Going to school full time, working full time, and dealing with me full time was not easy. I am so proud to be her husband. God is definitely working in her life. Please be praying for us and we figure out what comes next. She has some meetings and interviews coming soon. We will keep everyone updated.

Thanks everyone for your support! All of this would not be possible without you. Thank you sooooo much!

Ninja Night

This past Saturday we had a Fusion Dude Night, with a Ninja theme. We play this game called Ultimate Ninja and it is one of our more popular games. So I came up with a way to do a tournament and we played it at Dude Night. We also had a ninja dress a like contest, which went over better than expected. We had 21 middle school students there, and over half had costumes on, and some of them were very impressive. It was also hilarious to see big groups of middle school guys coming in the building dressed like ninjas as adults were leaving after the 7 oclock service. lots of weird looks, which is awesome.
this saturday we have girls night, full of nintendo wii dancing and nail painting. our female leaders are great and have put together a fun night.
Sadly it looks like i will not be at church saturday because of the passing of Dave Jester, a great man who is no doubt laughing with Jesus right now.
