Through the looking glass of last year . . .

Well, for all you have been anxiously awaiting to hear from me, all 5 of you, I'm back. I was in a car wreck about a week after this last picture was taken and blog updated. I was in a coma and woke up about a month ago . . . NOT!!!! I'm sure none of you believed that but it was worth a shot. As a Jr. High pastor you've got to try to have a creative mind. Anyway, a lot has happened over the last year . . .

* Had our 6th & 7th year wedding anniversary
* Turned 28 & 29 (so did Rose)
* Had a sweet time at National Youth Workers Convention

* Spent time in Idaho with Rose's family
* Programmed & Co-Emceed Jr. High Rallies at 3DYC
* Sold our house in Mishawaka
* Found out we were having another baby
* Jordyn turned 1 year old and we had a cool party with the grandparents
* Went on an amazing student trip with 9-11 graders called DCGO - I got to shower in a baptismal - OH YEAH!!
* Had an amazing summer of NMC Summer Camps
* Led and spoke at my first NMC Jr. High Summer Camp

* Led worship in different NMC regional churches, Connection and more

* Had a new baby girl arrive on 10/11/08 - Kara Joy Lehane 7 lbs. 4.7 oz., 19 1/2 in. at 12:43 am at Goshen Hospital
* Bought a new home in Goshen, IN - 2454 Tulip Blvd. Goshen, IN 46526 * if you want to update your address book
* Had an amazing outreach at NMC called the Shabang with Christian Illusionist Danny Ray - it was SWEET!!!
* Saw some amazing things happen in students lives!!! What a high!!!!!
* Minister at an amazing church with some really amazing teammates . . . I mean it, you guys are awesome and I just don't say it enough. Thanks for everything.

Many other things happened but all in all it has been an amazing year. I am a blessed man. I appreciate God so much for the way He has blessed someone like me who doesn't feel worthy of it. He humbles me everyday!

For those of you wondering . . . yes, more to come. I've re-entered the Blogosphere. :)
