Fun with the Fam

Posted on Sunday 3 September 2006 by Greg @ 7:55 am
Filed under: Home Sweet Home

It was four months before Christmas and all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Why? Because we aren’t home!

We are crammed in a condo/time share/ "community" just outside of Estes Park with my in-laws (who own it), my sister-in-law, nephew, wife and kids. I snuck out this morning at 5:45ish to track down a Starbucks with trusty T-mobile Wi-Fi.

Found it!

Yesterday we ran hard and played harder (I pulled a hammy or something in the process.) Last night we all collapsed early after a fun-filled day of mountainous mayhem. Today is probably more of the same.

I try to get the fun times with the fam in when I can because the hurricane is about to start. Next week I start doing youth leader lunches, fundraising dinners and the like. A few weeks after that the Game Day tour launches full bore.

So today I’ll skip, limp, run and wrestle with my kids and nephew. I’ll take long walks with my wife and a short nap with my kids.

Although I love being the preacher boy at Dare 2 Share, I love my wife and kids even more.

Got to go…it’s time to play!

Signed, Greg Stier

    • Greg, I was walking the other morning, (everyday 5am-4 miles) and I was listening to your session from the Willow Creek student ministry conference back in February.  I had never heard you speak back then and remembered being moved and inspired.  This summer has been a growing process for me in that I get caught up in the ministry role and think that evangelism didn’t apply to me.  Long story-short, after hearing your session again-I immediatly went home and wrote down G-O-S-P-E-L.  I also started saying it to my co-workers everday so that I could "wire" it into myself, not stumble when the appropriate time came. I set a goal to read 30 books this year, and I’m on 24.  "Outbreak" has been on the list since February…I’m getting to it.  Thanks again for your words.  Sometimes you do a conference and time goes by, but I wanted you to know that I was impacted again months later.  Corey (hoping to come to Indy in February 07!)

I made varsity for the first time ever! Hard work..um..works.(And ALOT of praying.) Not that I have to tell you that. Well, I guess that’s all. L8r. Signing off, Ashley
