Speed Up or Get Over

I just returned from hanging with my friend and brother, Stacey, in Humble, Texas (a northern suburb of Houston). We had a great time of worship and sharing last night during worship with his students. Stacey is the Director of Wildlife for Fusion Student Ministries at Humble Area's First Baptist Church.

So I was coming back today. Now I have made the drive on Hwy 59 many times - to see Stacey and his family, to shop and eat, and to take Karen to the doctor. If there's one thing I have learned over the years it is that if you travel on Hwy 59 and I'm on it - speed up or get over.

If there's one thing that drives me crazy it's getting behind someone in the left lane of the highway and having to slow down. If you drive in the left lane you had better be passing someone else. Why else would you be in that lane? I don't get it. It happens all the time - people driving in the left lane, holding up traffic, and frustrating all who are speeding merrily along.

Look, I'm not opposed to someone cruising the highway. Just do it in the right lane!!

So, if you see me driving down the road and you're in the left lane, I'm giving you fair warning - speed up or get over!

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!!

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Favorite Cereals

As I was scarfing down a bowl of Total I was thinking about my favorite cereals. Cereal has always been a part of our family - it didn't matter whether it was grabbing a bowl before school and sitting with my Grandpa as he at a bowl of Raisin Bran after church on Sunday nights. Growing up I had my faves. I would still eat them, but me and a lot of sugar in the morning is no bueno. As many of you can attest, it's not like I need more sugar! So I also have favorites now. Here's my list of favorite cereals: Then Cap'n Crunch - the original and all-time favorite, and breakfast with the Cap'n - how do you beat that? Frosted Flakes - don't get soggy in milk Peanut Butter Crunch - Cap'n Crunch and peanut butter, what's not to like? Wheat Chex - add a banana, mmmm. . .mmmmm. . .good! Now Total - good for you and doesn't get soggy too quickly Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without Raisins - good all around cereal Wheat Chex - still like me a bowl o
