Let's see...we ended 2008 in prayer at the church. We had a time of prayer over each ministry and the upcoming year. Then we enjoyed a time of fellowship. The boys joined us for this. This was a great end to the year. Later, we went back to our apartment and just hung out.
We started 2009 off with some great time together as a family. The Kennedys loaded up Tres' Trailblazer and headed to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. We were pumped up to support the Tide!
Well, as you already know...The game was a let down! The Tide played poorly! It was as if the coaches and the team were not at the game! It was ugly!
All in all we had a great time. We tried some seafood restaurants, of course we walked down Bourbon Street, went to Jackson Square, went to the Open Market, walked on the Riverwalk, and strolled around the French Quarter. Chuck and I went to New Orleans a few years ago to watch the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints play a football game. We had already experienced New Orleans. Tres and Chase had their first experience of New Orleans on this
Sugar Bowl trip. If you ask any of us about it, you will get the same response...New Orleans is stinky and nasty place. We were quite taken by the devastation and destruction still there from Hurricane Katrina.
We did run into many tide fans. It was nice to see everyone! Oh, well Roll Tide anyway!

Sounds like a great start to the new year! Yes I agree, New Orleans is nasty. We lived in Baton Rouge for 4 years and went there several times. It is a very dark place... with lots of spirits!!! I think I'll stay away from there! :) Enjoy the Esther study. We almost did that one but felt like God was leading us in another direction... hopefully we'll do Esther next!
