Props for Mom


I have to give my Mom her props!! She's hanging with me for a while and is a trooper extreme.



First, you should know, she loaded up a trailer and the XTerra and pulled a trailer from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Mobile, AL. Maybe not a big thing, except she's never pulled a trailer before and she made the trip straight through BY HERSELF!!

Second, she works like a Trojan! She's like non-stop. My house is really clean, it's decorated for the holidays, and the food is great!! My yard hasn't looked this great since I moved in. Last Saturday she learned how to drive my mower. We hooked up my yard wagon and she carried tree limbs and branches from the back yard to the curb for about 31/2 - 4 hours - non-stop.

Third, Mom. . .well, Mom's not a spring chicken, though you wouldn't know it watching her work. She could work circles around most people I know. But then, she's my Mom!!

Fourth, she models worship like so very few people I know. She accepts people - all people - when others wouldn't. Thanks for being an example.

Fifth, everyone asks me if she's my sister - ooooo yuck, that's my Mom, guys!

Sooo. . . I would just like to say "GO MOM!!" Keep up the great example to so many of us "young 'uns!"

What precious things to say about your mom! I have one of those work horse moms too. My mom makes me tired to watch her. They are definitely a blessing. I'm glad that you tell her that in person but even better, to the world on a website.

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
