I'm willing to help....tell me what I can do. :)

I dunno... the biggest challenges are going to be painting and moving. The painting will have to happen in the week between closing (Sept 9) and moving (Sept 17). If you have any evenings free to help paint or to help watch Emma that would be great. And an extra set of hands on the 17th will definitely help things go a little more quickly.

Sure, Friday the 9th we have a home football game, but other than that I'm free. Probably can't stay really late with the 45 min drive, but I can come anytime after 3:30 to do whatever. Or if you need help watching Emma in Warrenville that works too. E-mail me closer to the date.

Mike,

I haven't seen you and Julie (or Emma) in a long time! Hey, if you need help painting, I would be more than happy to lend a hand. :)

I've been meaning to email you actually. I have been doing a bit of reading over the summer in Continental philosophy and some books into a non-foundationalist approach to theology (poking around in Grenz's _Beyond Foundationalism_) and I am filled with questions! I would love to talk through some of this stuff with you.

Okay, this is already too long for a "short" comment.

Hope to see you soon.

(from Trinity, if you don't remember) :)

Hey Amanda-

Good to hear from you! Are you back at school yet? We can't wait to see you. Why don't we figure out a time for us to hang out and we can talk about philosophy and church planting and stuff. :)

We'll have about 3 and 1/2 days to paint three rooms in our new house. We totally appreciate your offer to help. If you have any time on September 13-16 (Tues-Fri), let us know, we'd love to have you out at our new place to paint.

Email me and let me know if you and Erin have time to hang out sometime soon.

-Mike
