Baby #2 is here! Joni is now almost a month old, and she is getting used to life and everyone in her home. This is the first picture we've gotten of her smiling at me! Jude is a great big brother, always excited to give her kisses and hold her with us. It's very sweet. She is doing great! Eating and sleeping well. Ministry is going well! I took a week off and enjoyed some family time and now I am back into the swing of things. The end of semester is fast approaching and we are finishing up our series on Philippians at Thursday Night Fellowships. Our small groups have had a GREAT year this year.

We're going to have one more TNF this week and our community members are going to have a time to share the ways they have seen God move and work this year. I'm so excited to hear about what they're experienced and see our community encourage each other in this w
This month has been a very exciting month in ministry! We had our FOCUS open house, where parents and friends come out and go to a TNF to see what they're students. Another Pizza Theology is in the bag, this one covering the way that the Bible was canonized, and translated and passed down from century to century. It was an excellent time of teaching. Denton FOCUS is in an exciting phase. We're experiencing a lot of fruit and positive momentum in ministry. This is always a blessing and a time to be grateful for what God is doing in our midst. We're in the midst of a series on Philippians and talking about unity in the Spirit the past couple of weeks. As we grow as a ministry, this is a topic that needs heat and attention. On the personal side, Nicole and I are welcoming another baby, Joni Maeve into the world. We're so excited to introduce her to all of y'all. There have been a few students in our ministry really struggling with grief and loss. Please be praying
