So we are done to 6 weeks and 6 days...or 6 weeks, five days and a wake up as my dad would say...Thats when our baby girl Mya is supposed to born. Becky and I are both ready for her to be here...wow...Becky said I will get to grow up with Mya...What do you think to that statement? Do you feel old when you tell you're kid to do something and you finish it up with, "Because I'm the parent, that's why." ?? Or is it in the sleepless nights, of constant crying and feeding...or the first time you change a diaper? I guess only time will tell.
We are looking forward to bringing her to Ohio and Michigan to meet her family after Christmas. Becky will be flying to Detroit the day after Christmas, and I will be flying home on January 3rd. Pray that we can get out of Denver...no snowstorms like last year.
My buddy Joel is supposed to be coming back to America on the same day that mya is born, he has some funny stories from Korea. We just got a package from him today, it contained cookies from Korea, chopsticks from Japan, with no instructions, these aren't your average chopsticks either, they are really fancy, and a DVD titled, "Lost in Toyko." I am looking forward to watching that, I hope there is commentary, knowing Joel there probably is.
Last night at Youth Group we had 24 teens/kids. Somehow we've gotten to where we have some fifth graders, and a lot of 6th graders. This makes it harder for me to control them, but it makes it better for me in the long run. I am praying that somehow God will make a difference in lives of some of these Kids and make a difference in Colby.
Ok...I have rambled enough for now...
Love Ya

Youth Group...
Youth Group…the M.O.B. has started off really good this year. We kicked the year off with a 3P night. We had pancakes, pajamas, and pillow fights. There were 31 kids to kick off our youth group…a bunch of sixth graders…I am praying for patience. We had an awesome time, Becky made 6 dozen pancakes, with a few left over. We talked about what Jesus means in our lives, I did popcorn questions to all of my leaders and they did a great job. At the end of the night we did one last pillow fight with everybody. I let the pillow fight go for a couple of minutes before jumping in, when I did Kale yelled, “Everybody against Tim.” I had no chance.
Last night there were only 15 teens, but I was okay with it. Most of our Heartland kids were at home doing homework. The CHS band and choir were at State Fair, so a lot of our kids were gone…but we had 3 new kids come! Which is awesome to me. They were Jr. Highers but that is what our group is quickly becoming. It would be nice if I had some other adults come on board to do crowd control, but hey were ok.
I am working on Fundraising for the International Youth Conference, Set Apart, in December. We have about $750 to raise and it’s hard right now to motivate teens and myself when they are involved in so many school things. I was trying to remember if I still participated in youth group and fundraisers when I was in football and I am pretty sure that I did. I need a lesson in how to motivate teens and parents. We have a meeting Sunday, any ideas you can give would help.
Well, I think I am done for now…Keep Praying for our little Mya!!

Becky is on the Blog!
Well,
The Morehart house has not had a dull moment in a very long time. We are pulled left and right and many other directions. Finally, ordination is over and most of the traveling is over. Now it’s just shorter trips to the doctors holding our breaths each visit. Our daughter is growing leaps and bounds and will arrive in a little more than 9 weeks. The shock of our pregnancy has dulled and now parenthood is rapidly approaching. WOW!!! Tim as a dad! Mya’s room is all but finished. The finishing touches is the last of the furniture and of course her. Mom will get to spend 10 days in Colby, Kansas…
Now that I feel more computer knowledgeable…I will probably leave the writing to him. He has more to say about funny things with work and other matters. I just work, eat and sleep!! I know…you’re impressed. That’s it for now…Off to another appointment.
