Puttin' Out the Flames

Well . . . I've just about got the flames out (see Running with my hair on fire). Checking to see if there's much damage. Doesn't seem to be.

I'm now a permanent resident of the state of Alabama! My heart still pumps burnt orange blood, but I must make a decision - Auburn or Alabama. I've already figured this one out - ROLL TIDE! Alabama has been a family favorite for years. Growing up I didn't even know there was another college in Alabama, then I heard something about some school called Auburn. Whatever!

I do have somewhat of a bone to pick with these two schools. What is it with their mascots? On one side you've got 'Bama with an elephant. What's the elephant got to do with roll tide? Who came up with this one?

But the elephant thing can't compare to a school who can't decide what their mascot should be. Have you heard about or seen this one? Is it tigers or war eagles? Give me a break! Decide and move on with life.

Oh well, I can't wait 'til football season. I'm not a big fan of overpaid, egotistical professionals, so when I say football season I'm talking NCAA!! I know it's big here in Alabama, but when you only have two schools . . . I mean come on! That's like Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Nebraska.

(Ok, deep breaths, in-out, in-out) There I'm better - for now.

Let the season begin!

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
