update: joel sewell of the clan sewell

Hows it goin? quick update for the deep south. Things are going well here. been crazy busy! for those who don't know i work at Lowe's full time. It's a good job but my department mng. is lazy and expects me to do everything. That's not all bad because the store mng. reads all the paper work and sees that I am doing it all. He asked me a couple weeks ago why I didn't sign up for the mng training. "I've only been here for 3 months and you have to be here a year" he said he would look past that for me. So you never know, this time next year you can call me Mr. Manager!

The family is doing well. the little one has a double ear infection and the wife is getting pretty sick too. The church (the reason we moved here) is set to launch the first week in Jan. We have been meeting since June, getting prepped and forming a good core group. We were given an "Arts" building by a private school to meet in. that was pretty cool. We are all molding pretty well together. There have been some hick-ups but all is well. It's been a good training ground for us. Showing us who we are and what we believe and what we don't believe. To be honest I have been kinda looking towards my next venture. We're kinda looking at moving on in the next 5 years. Not totally sure what that may be, maybe starting a church with some of you guys (anyone want to move to Atlanta?)

I've been listing to Mark Driscal's new sermon series "the pleasant princess" totally recommend it to all you married couples! and if your not listen to it anyways! I haven't read anything latley, just been lazy with it.

We've been talking alot about the election down here. I personaly didn't vote for Obama but i am kinda glad to see him in there. I think he is the only man avalible that can get our counrty excited to do somthing. ( just hope people fallow through.) Everyone big thing here is that they think he's a socialist ( he defently has socialist ideas). They think its wrong, i just keep on asking they if they want there kids to drive when they want too or like not having explect language and porn on tv or regulations on drug companys. That's all a form of socialism (govenment controling the privite sectore) we just need a little more conservitives in the house and senate to have a true check and balance system.

Well those are my thoughts
