Things Happenin'

Well... lots of things have been happenin' around here in good ol' NH.
Saturday I found out the name of my little neice who is gonna be born in just a few short weeks. It is (drum roll please)... Alana Hope Riis. Isn't that beautiful? My mom looked it up and it means something like "little rock" soooo her name basically means "little rock of hope" which I think is really cool. I am so excited to meet her. I love her already.
Sunday we started Evangelisitc Meetings with Tom Farrell. I had forgotten what a powerful preacher he is. Last night he talked about the church in Revelation that had "left her first love"... not "lost" it... "LEFT" it. He gave five characteristics of Christians who have left their first love.. Christ. I thought I was doing ok but he pointed out some things that I have seen in my own life that showed me that I HAD left my first love. I got that right and it was amazing the change that I felt. I made the commitment to go back to my first love and to make Christ the PASSION of my life. This week could be really life changing... it already has been.
