Haircuts, LOST, & MPD





This week I got a haircut.
I go to Professional Barbers of Cary where Jeff Lovell treats me with 2 TVs with ESPN & a hot lather neck shave...
Jenna went today to Chapel Hill to get her haircut at Aveda of Chapel Hill...where you can get these kinda haircuts:
Luckily, Jenna came back with a pretty, "normal" do...

We have been working hard on support, as many of you know, but when we're at home "winding down" before we go to bed, we like to watch TV. With our antenna we get 9 channels (2 of them spanish) and so we asked our buddy Justin Gibbons if we could borrow his seasons of LOST...we have watched the first 2 episodes and are hooked. Jenna said, "I don't think this is one of those shows where I can just relax..." But it's been very entertaining thus far.


We're heading down to West End again for 2 support appointments and hopefully this next week we can set some more up. I've been trying to develope some new relationships and new networks of people in the area and Jenna has been working hard at setting things up in her neck of the woods. We're at 50% and would love to share what we're doing with anyone who'd be encouraged to hear! We're also working on our referrals and praying that God meets our goals. We'd love to finish in the next 2 months. Pray that God moves in big ways!

Labor Day and So on...


Hello all. I hope this blog finds everyone having a great Monday (Sept. 14th). This is my first update on our SHERARD blog.
I wanted to just catch everyone up since we were in Clemson (the glorious, glorious city & school).
We came back on Thursday and cleaned up as quick as we could because we had COMPANY coming! My buddy Patrick who is in the US Army and Jason & Lindsey Schubert (new residents to the metropolis we know as King George, VA) were coming to spend Labor Day with us.
Thursday: Patrick got in and we ate dinner with him and caught up that night.
Friday: Since Patrick is on Army time, he had ran 80 miles and blown up a few things before Jenna and I even woke up. We got ready for the Schuberts arrival and then all ate Jenna's SPAGHETTI....which is equivalent to Disney World in your mouth.

Saturday we all hung out and went to Raleigh to watch the Clemson game at the Triangle Clemson Club...it was a reunion with a bunch of pals!
Sunday we all went to church at Christ Community and then came home, enjoyed some Cosby Show and went to SCOTT & ALISON'S WEDDING in Cary.
Monday all my friends had to go back home....and Jenna applied for a part-time job...
We then worked on support throughout the week while battling colds (not swine flu...colds) and then headed to West End for the weekend to meet with people.
We got a chance to hang out with 2 couples from Culdee Presbyterian Church on Saturday night and we ate dinner and get to know them better--good times!
Sunday we got the opportunity to share with Culdee Presbyterian about what we do with Campus Crusade, thank them for their support and prayers, and also talk to the youth that night. It was great spending time with Jenna's family and sharing updates about what God is doing through our ministry.
Please keep praying that God raises up our financial support quickly in order to report to the Office Full-time! We are at 50%--so praise God for that!

More to come. Jenna is probably a lot more organized with her thoughts---but again, I didn't claim to be the English major who is writing a novel...
