Well - life keeps going for us. The last two weeks have been filled with activity... here's the overview:
:: AT HOME - we finished painting our living room and bedroom several weeks ago, but haven't really been home much to enjoy it... Anytime we have been home, the OLYMPICS can be found showing either on the TV or the computer (online) trying to keep up with the latest Aussie action over in Athens. It really is an experience to be in another country for the Olympics... you get their bias throughout the media, so the only time we see the Aussies is when they beat the USA! You can be assured that Clint screams, hollers and shouts EVERY time that they do! The only sad thing for Clint is that he has been over here (in the US) for the last 2 olympics - 2000 in Sydney, and now this year... oh well!
:: AT CHURCH - things are going really well... we are preparing to welcome back our Senior Pastor (Kerry Bowman) from his 5 month sabbatical in about 3 weeks time - very excited! It'll be so great to have Kerry back with us! We are experiencing a really deep sense of anticipation and excitement this year as the school year gets underway - one that we haven't sensed in a long time... Please join with us in praying that God would really build His Kingdom through Eagle Church and that would be found faithful to the task He has called us to do here on the N/W side of Indianapolis!
:: AT WORK - Jamie continues to enjoy her job at Maggiano's - she loves being a server & the opportunity to be constantly working with people! She is building some really great relationships - and we believe that God has placed her there for a reason, so please join with us in praying that God would use her to challenge and impact lives for eternity...
:: AT SCHOOL - well, we are counting down the days before Clint starts back for his final year at IWU... Classes start on Tues, Sept. 7 - please be praying specifically for Clint over these next 3 months as he navigates a full school load (in Marion, IN) while leading a ministry team into this next season of growth and development (in Indianapolis, IN) and living in Indianapolis as opposed to Marion for the next year... Needless to say, these next 3 months are going to be TOUGH!
Jamie will also be taking a couple of classes this semester because testing out of one of her classes (CLEP test) did not go as planned... Jamie petitioned to IWU asking them to allow her to finish out the credits necessary for her graduation at a local university here in Indianapolis... This was a long-shot and we weren't expecting much, but they DID APPROVE IT! So, the last part of this week Jamie was downtown getting enrolled and registering for classes etc. This is a HUGE deal for us as it means that only Clint will have to drive to Marion for school... not both of us!
Well, I think that about sums it up... Thanks for keeping in touch, and please know that your prayers are invaluable to us! We'd love to hear back from you too... let us know how we can be praying for you and your family... You can contact us at the details listed above (at the top of this BLOG).
We love you all!
Clint & Jamie

And you're missing out on "The Dream" with Roy and H.G. Seriously, there is NOTHING like those guys...they're so funny!!! Well, you miss out on the Aussies and we miss out on the cocky Americans...except for when we beat you (softball, athletics, swimming, basketball, gymnastics, cycling, tennis, etc). :)
Hey Anonymous...
While I understand and appreciate your sentiments, keep in mind that there are just as many Americans reading this BLOG as there are Aussies... You could get yourself in some serious trouble! BTW - who is this?

I was in Sydney over the '96 games in Atlanta. Dude - bias was taken to a new level in the stories I heard, but it was an awesome experience to blend in - cheer for my resident culture and secretly push for the yanks! :)
Dude - didn't we watch the opening ceremony of the Sydney games together?
Good keeping up and I agree that Roy and HG take the Olympics to a whole new level.
My sarcasm was missed because you didn't recognize your brother in law! Recap:
YOU miss out on seeing the Aussies perform and WE miss out on the Americans perform...except ofcourse when the USA beat AUSTRALIA, which happens every day in every way. :)
Just trying to stir up the hard core aussie patriotism...not the Americans.
