More Morris: Memo from a Medical Resident in Memphis ...or....
Brent 'Brags' Bodaciously 'Bout Bountiful Blessings

Hey everyone,

.....We are back in the Memphis area (Olive Branch). I am doing my Urology residency at UT Memphis, to be completed June 2010. I am working hard, but really enjoying what I do. I am working at the VA medical center during the week (OR, clinic, procedures) and I take home call covering the VA and the MED (aka Knife and Gun club) a couple of nights a week and 1-2 weekends a month. It never ceases to amaze me the variety of urologic trauma that can be created by Memphis' finest. Rachel is back to work (part time) as a labor & delivery nurse at Methodist Germantown and really enjoying it. We have bought a house here that we love, but are still settling in.

Drew will be 3 on November 8. He is really into Thomas the Train and anything else with wheels. He is amazing, learning new things everyday. He stays sooooo busy. We are working on potty training and he is doing well. One of the pictures attached is of him playing in the sprinklers. As for the other, I had nothing to do with the bracelet he is wearing.

Kendall will turn 1 on October 26. She is growing way too fast. She has 8 teeth and experiments with new foods daily. Her hair has turned from dark brown a few months ago to blonde now, just like Drew. She took her first step last weekend and is crawling faster than I can walk. She has quite a little attitude (I can't imagine where she gets it) but is overall a very happy baby.

Chad P. and Sabby Wilson Update

In Wilson-world Sabby and I are burning up the road to Knoxville on the weekends to see the Vols shock everyone this year. Much love to David Cutcliffe for coming home.

Sab is mentoring several Union girls this semester, as well as leading a women's Bible study that spans ages 76-26. Awesome things are happening at our church (FBC Jackson). I am leading a year long study of Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology with 10 laymen at 6:30 every Thusday morning. Sab and I are also helping lead music in a new Wednesday worship service.

Our bank (Foundation Bank) is building its first full service branch in Jackson. It is going to be a little one in the old TCBY space across from Union, on the other corner of the TJ Mulligans building. I've been thrown into the deep end of the pool with responsibility, but my head is staying barely above the water. We should be up and rolling in November some time. Still helping people manage their IRA's and investments as well.

Hope to see you peeps soon. God Bless.

Making A Move From the Capital City To Virginia
After 4.5 years of living on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, I am moving at the end of the month to 941 North Patrick Henry Drive, Arlington, VA 22205. Why? More room, lower taxes, better stores, safter neighborhoods, and the 2nd amendment. Cell phone and email addresses will stay the same of course.

Rob D. Update

I left Union last week to move back to Nashville. I am pursuing a job with a company called Servpro, fire and water clean up & restoration. ... It is a bit insane to quit Union without having anything gauranteed with Servpro but I feel confident that this is what I am supposed to be doing.

Update from Bro. Adam Clark, Lambda Zeta 443

Heather and I have been active members at First Baptist Church of Nashville. We joined in January after we got married, and are on our third year of membership there. Heather serves on the music committee, and we both are very involved in the youth group. We are teaching the Senior class sunday school, and we have a fantastic group of kids to work with. My brother got married the year after heather and I did, and he is working as a software and webpage designer. His wife Kelly is a dental hygenist, and my wife teaches at a college in Bowling Green and works in their financial aid department.

I think Heather is going to start classes in the spring on her masters in education.So far our adventures have been pretty fun. We went to Germany with our senior class on a mission trip, and have made some great friends across the pond whom we keep up with. We also took the gratuitous trip to Gatlinburg - woo hoo! I have been serving on the "camp planning committee" for our youth camp and this summer have been traveling around the country with our youth minister to locate a new site for camp.

Band season has been also going well. Last spring the Winter Guard program won the Gold medal at the SCGC National Championships in Chattanooga. They outscored more than 40 guards to take the title. This fall is also off to a good start. My competitions begin next saturday, and I have literally poured myself into this year's program. I anticipate fantastic results because the group sounds and looks great.

I am about 6 months away from bilingual certification in Spanish. I have been taking classes at the foreign language institue of Nashville. I love it too! Having students that are bilingual has been a challenge, but this has opened doors to them and their parents. I also look forward to seing what other doors it will open.

Moore Information, More Moores?

This is Josh Moore, LZ 506.

Anyway, here is a little about what is going on in my world. I am living in Martin, TN with my wife Bonnie and we are expecting our first child, a girl! Our due date is January 1, and we are eagerly anticipating our new arrival! I will try to scan a picture of our latest ultrasound to share with everybody.

I am working as the managing agent at Brundige Insurance Agency, LLC in Martin, TN and also serve as bi-vocational minister of education at Dresden First Baptist Church in Dresden, TN. I am also taking my first semester of seminary course work at Union University for the Southern Seminary Masters of Divinity Program. Guess I could not stay away from Union!
