Uuuhhh…yea. Nuff said.

I can’t think of anything. I’m fresh out of ideas. I don’t even have any thoughts anyway.

Let’s see…..

New Coldplay CD is amazing.

Leave for the beach a week from Saturday.

Nate started walking a couple weeks ago and has about 6 teeth coming in I think.

Only been to the pool 1 time so far.

Golf game is getting a little better each time. (saving up for new Ping i10s)

Not much photography to speak of right now.

I will post pics of the living room hopefully today.

Church is going well and starting a new series this week.

Lots of people out of town right now.

Beautiful weather week so far.

Goal of 30 miles run in 4 weeks.

Does anyone even read this anymore?

What’s going on with you?

Now 48 hours, 10 foot scaffolding, 5 gallons of Barcelona Beige, a dog, lots of rollers, fumes, rented carpet cleaner and cleaned the carpet all over the house, and the project is complete. Casey wanted to see pictures. I have some before and after later but here is an after picture.

Enough said…18 1/2 foot ceilings in our living room…scaffolding…ceilings have to be painting…no blogging.

Relax…Be Quiet…Just be…in God’s presence.

Monday, Tuesday, and only Wednesday if needed.  National Championship for Baseball.  The College World Series.  Who knows who they are facing and who cares.  Bring it home boys.  Enough said.

As I mentioned last week, Francis Chan really worked our whole team with his talk at Willow Creek. So today we continued our conversation as a team.

After some pancakes and bacon, prayed for a while and then talked about what the talked did in each of us. For me personally, it really spoke more to my own spiritual life than a corporate thing. Basically, I felt like there are things in my life (discipline, sarcasm, etc) that if I allowed God to change and I opened my hands in full surrender, then there is no way I could get the glory…only God.

Ultimately, as a team, we realized that we can want more and talk about more of God and desire more, but unless we are each individually praying to that end and daily for our services and congregation, then we can desire all we want, but not expect God to have to show up. We must pray to that end.

My questions for you are these:

1. Are you praying daily for your service, church, volunteers, etc.?

2. What are the areas of your life that if God used his Holy Spirit to change, would only God get the glory?

Let us know so we can pray to that end.

This is a church in Amarillo, TX called Hillside Church. Diane sent me the link to them and I finally got around to watching it. It’s called cardboard testimonies. What is so interesting is the reason for the illustration. You have to watch until the end to see why this is so powerful. Carrie and I cried watching it. Great job Hillside.
