Memorial Day Weekend

Yea!, the unofficial beginning of summer. I am actually wearing white shoes today. OK, so I'm a couple of days early. :)


Let's get this out of the way - TV Shows

Heroes - Still my fav and what a great ending

Survivor - disappointed the yao man didn't win - but it was a decent season

LOST - you have brought me back on board - the last 3 episodes were pretty cool - so question - do you think that Ben is right and that the rescue is going to go bad?

24 - Poor Jack - needs a new life

On to more important things = life is pretty cool right now. Heard this sermon about how when things are going bad we get real focused and are asking for lots of prayer. But what do we do when things are going well - do you spend less time with God, do we not ask for prayer to keep our heads on straight while things are going well. Make sure to stay connected to God in both the good and bad. Realized that in either state - God is still with us and concerned with our character and how we live that part of our life.

Hope you have a great memorial day weekend.

On The Mountain Top

It's great to climb to the top of a mountain. I have done some hiking in my past and there is a great sense of accomplishment when we reach the top of a mountain - I remember a time when I hiked up the White Oak Canyon Springs in the Shenandoah National Forrest - wow, what a hike and what a spectacular view, but also what a tremendous effort. (that was a big sentence):) Anyway, when you reach the top you are often exhausted, but also exhilarated - what I want you to think about is that we spend very little time on top of the mountain - most of our time is on the way up or on the way down - but that also means limited time in the valley as well. So if you are top as you read this then Praise God! and prayer for those who are not and if you are in a valley then know that deliverance is on the way and that people are praying for you.

But for right now - Thank God for the mountaintop!

At Horizons, things are going well and there are some HUGE announcements coming in the next few weeks. It is so exciting to be a part of God's kingdom and of a ministry that is focused for God.

At Covenant, things are looking good and we feel like we are turning a corner in the right direction. Looking forward to getting the flywheel going again ( a Good to Great thing)

I'm also a baseball fan - started rooting for the Cincinnati Reds as a little boy - and one World Series win in 1990(outside of the 75-76 wins as a little boy) and it's been dry -maybe this year although our middle relief rots so far this year.

My family is doing great - and planning a great vacation this year as we are traveling to Europe for a trip to London and Paris and then a Cruise out of Barcelona Spain - I'll let you know how that goes.

TV -

24 - Not too shabby recently, is the boy Jacks' son? Where is David Palmer? or the old president for that matter and will Jack ever have normal hour -

LOST - WOW! finally, this is why I loved Lost to begin with - is Jack an other now - is Locke really dead? hmmm - stay tuned

Office -funny but offensive

Survivor - Go Yao Mann

Heroes - still my fav - save the cheerleader - save the world - we shall see

Gotta Go
Bye
