Lifepoint is reaching people farthest from God, dont believe me?? This past Sunday, we had 435 people combined in attendance for both our sevices! A 50 person jump each Sunday since the beginning of January. WOW!! Its been an amazing ride since finding this church over a year ago. Its hard to believe that when we moved here in 2006 we had the hardest time finding a church that we felt "at home" in. The Sunday we walked into Lifepoint (Lighthouse then) we knew that we were home. The worship is real, the people are real and the message is intensly to the point and Christ is embedded in every word. God has placed us in this church to work his Will. We are to carry His word to those who may not hear it otherwise. You know the saying "You may be the only Bible someone reads"? You have to live everyday like its your last day to spread His message and the last chance to help someone see the light of Jesus. In the words of Daughtry "I'm going home, to the place where I belong, to where your love has always been enough for me" Such basic words with such a real, deep meaning.
This is what Canaans face looks like 1 week post injury. Healing upquite nicely isnt it?
Well, we finally got our first taste of winter. 
I love the snow but we reallly didnt get that much. It will be pretty until tomorrow when it is supposed to be 50 degrees. These pics are for my parents who are in Missouri and LOVE the snow, wish you were here!
What is all the fuss about? If you are asking that question, you obviously havent been to Lifepoint. We are creating an enviroment where people from all walks of life and faith can come together and worship without barriers or expectations. Gods love is evident from the second you walk in the door. Our purpose is true and whole, reach those who are farthest from Jesus in a relevant and life changing way. If you havent attended, you should. We would be so honored that you chose to spend one hour of your week with us. Believe me, you wont regret it!http://www.visitlifepoint.org
Today Canaan's stitches were removed (No Lazar, its not better to save a co-pay and do it yourself!!) No big deal at all! He sat down, she removed them and WA LA- all done. I can't believe how great it is healing. Just a few days ago I was almost passing out at how deep it was, today it looks as if it was a small cut to begin with. Our God has created an amazing healing body. I'll post a pic in a few days
We have a few different things planned this weekend. This evening we went over to Ruth and Joe's house and played card games. I lost again...seems to be the going thing. Tomorrow we are going to meet the In-Laws for lunch at Olive Garden (YUM!) and then coming home to just hang out and do NOTHING!! I love thoses days when you have nothing on the agenda and you can just hang out. Chad and I have made it a priority to take at least a few hours and spend it together each weekend. I am thinking tomorrow we may spend those few hours together just hanging out on the couch. NFL has a few things going on so we lay around and catch a game. Sundays plan is to go to church and then go the Shellys and Jareds for more football. I sure will be happy come February and Daytona, NASCAR is the second best way to spend your Sunday. Church is the first :)
Finally Friday!! Hope everyone had a good week. We had an interesting and tiring week. We have'nt gotten much sleep in the past few days (I've had to get up and give Canaan pain medication throughout the night). He's been such a trooper though it all. Katrina started Drama this week and LOVESit. She will probably audition fr a few parts in a couple plays coming up this Spring. She's the artisitic type, she loves to sing, dance, act and draw. HMMMM.... do I smell an art scholarship?
Hello Blog World! I believe that 2008 will bring many blessings to the Spotsy Grovers. I also believe that Dallas Cowboys will win the Super Bowl, Dale Jr. will win his first Nextel Cup, Boston Red Sox will be champs again, and Yankees will be watching from last place. Ever since Teresa and I and the kids moved to Spotsy and found Lifepoint Church our lives have truley changed. They have changed in such a way that life is AWESOME! GOD is GREAT! Pray for many blessings in 2008 and God Bless everyone!Ephesians 4:6
Well, last night we spent the entire evening in the ER with Canaan. Yep, Evel Kineval tried to do a stunt wheelie on his scooter and hit himself in the eye with the handlebars. After a ride in the ambulance, 6 stiches and one cute Physicians Assistant (she was flirting with him but he wasnt in the mood) he is feeling much better today. Just when you think you have been through it all, life throws you another curveball!!
On December 29th, Canaan turned 8. WOW!! Where has the time gone? Chad and I have come to the recent realization that in less than 10 years we will have 2 children in college. While financially we are planning for these days, emotionally I have come to find we aren't ready to let them go- EVER!! I can't even fathom the day when they will get married. Now, you may be wondering why I am thinking about the future. Me too. I feel like just yesterday I was feeding Katrina sweet potatos in her high chair or hearing Canaans first cry. I look back at the baby pictures and see a sweet little blond baby girl trying to pick up a rattle with her hand or at that chubby little curly, red headed baby boy sleeping snuggled up to his Daddy. I realize that EVERY day is precious and is to be savored. Tomorrow comes too fast and steals their childhood away. Love them, hug them and spent your time with them letting them know how precious they really are to you. Isn't that what you want them (and yourself) to remember?
Happy birthday my little angel boy!
We are finally stepping into the blogging world. I needed a place to blog and upload pictures and Canaans first grade teacher recommended Blogspot. Wow, we got iPods and a blog!! Welcome to technology.
