Status of Existence

After about a month of cyberspace hibernation, I figured that one should stick his head up to get a breath now and then. In truth, I have been on the Internet but have not had the energy to blog.

Q. What's been happening in the Berge household?
A. We officially moved into our new house two nights ago. I have not taken any recent pictures for several reasons. The first is that the batteries died in my digital camera and it has taken me forever to change them. Secondly, the house is in the perpetual state of unpacking chaos at this time, which makes for a less than Kodak moment.

Q. Anything new other than the house?
A. You bet! I have two new little nephews, Simeon Olaf Sahlstrom and Elijah Kenneth Caron, that have come into this big world over the past week or so. Since my sisters do such a wonderful job at posting when babies are born, I will not attempt to emulate them. You can visit their post by going to Melanie's blog or Mindy's blog .

Q. How about church? Are you going anywhere or did you decide to become a heathen?
A. You know...I'm glad you asked that question as our spiritual development is as important, if not more so, than our physical or mental development. Beth and I have begun to attend a small Christian and Missionary Alliance church plant that is in Bemidji called the House of Prayer. We have really been blessed by the attitude of the people, are happy to be able to worship in an Alliance church, and are looking forward to serving the Lord with this body of believers.

Q. What are your upcoming plans?
A. Let's see...deer hunting, painting doors, more deer hunting, miscellaneous honey do's (and don'ts!), perhaps some dirt work before the ground freezes, get my garage set up with work bench and my tools, and probably a million other little things that need to still be done before setting back and relaxing. We are not planning on doing any traveling for the near future. The next big trip will be out to Pennsylvania to see my brother-in-law married off. That won't be until the spring, I think. Plenty to do around the homestead, so I am not in any hurry to travel just for travel sake. Believe me, I had my fill of driving during the move from Texas.

That's about it for now. Should be able to post some additional house pics soon, so remember to tune back in...same Bat time...same Bat channel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER! It looks like you have once again caught up to me! Can you believe that we are in our 30's? I still feel like a kid,don't you? Well, I have to admit that after the birth of little Simeon, I did feel my age a tiny, little bit. I was rather stiff for a few days! Anyway, congrats on being in your newly built dream house at the age of 37! God is good! Love you!

Thanks for keeping this updated Matt. I'd been wondering how things were going.
