Pyro Fanaticism

We had some old friends over last night. The Friedman's. They used to go to our church like 17 years ago. Mr. Friedman pastors a Messianic Church in Pennsylvania. Mr Freidman is a Messianic Jew. Right now they are feeling led to switch from Home Missions to World Missions. They are Assemblies of God missionaries, so they are here going through a mandatory school program at AGTS so the can switch to World Missions.
They have a 16 year old son named Adam, who I don't recall ever meeting before. So that was kind of cool, getting to know someone new. We hung out all afternoon together, trying to get to know each other. Then we went to JRA's I Love America for the fireworks. We got dropped off at Division and I-65, and walked the rest of the way. And we were moving faster then the traffic. :)
Some of the Missionary Kids from AGTS that Adam knew were there, so we talked with them till the fireworks started and then sat together to watch the pyrogenic lights in the sky show. It was too cool. I'd never been that close to big fireworks before... It got really loud at some points. After the show, Adam and I walked back out onto Division and got picked up by his dad.
Adam and his friends might come over tonight to shoot off fireworks, since they can't do it on the Evangel Campus where they are staying. Well, they could, but if they got caught, it wouldn't exactly be a good representation for the Lord, ya' know?

Thanks for the comment on my post. I really needed that. :) No, really, I do have an issue with no comments. I'll even go so far as to let a post sit for weeks just waiting on comments.. (haha as you can tell). I'll have to return the favor more often. :) Too often, I'm in a hurry and just read over stuff and then not leave behind everything I thought about it... (It seems to keep me out of trouble anyway) :) Anyway, we'll be coming to the next H2O (& maybe the one after that too) so I'm looking forward to hearing more about your Africa trip, that is if you're going to be there. As each day passes, I'm getting more and more excited about my upcoming Kenya trip. I know it's going to be SUCH an experience!!

I'll be there. How could I miss an H20? If Mrs.H20 lets me talk, then I'll tell about my trip. If not, then I'll tell you anyway. Have you got your passport yet?
