For his birthday Jeffrey received his first guitar.  After trying Daddy’s and realizing it was too big to play, he enjoys strumming on this blue beauty.  He’s got the stance and strumming down, next is forming the notes and chords.

It seems that when it comes to helping friends in their twenties and thirties, new skills are needed constantly.  Lately, Matt has been using his garage as a repair shop as a couple of guys have helped make repairs on his car as well as their own.  One night three of them were up until 12:15 a.m. working on the brakes of a ‘91 Thunderbird.  This has been a unique way of bonding and shared experience.

Another night, Matt and Colette had two other couples over for conversation and cards.  Wedding advice was flying across the table, in between hands.

A good friend donated gourmet lasagna from his restaurant, along with a laptop for Matt to fix.  He also has been enlightening Matt  on film production, mentioning today of his friendship with Joel Moore who played Norm Spellman in Avatar.

The text of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 is inspiring, “ I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.”  Learning how to enter peoples’ worlds through the gateway of their interests and passions has opened a fascinating realm of mission.
