Sometimes - It's about the people

To be honest - ministry is work. It takes time, it takes energy, it takes creativity (here's where I need help), it takes organization, it takes planning, and it takes heart! So. . .it's not all about gathering with other Christians singing Kum By Ya and holding hands and smiling.

But then there's those times when it's good - ALL good. There are those times when we just hang out with people. Yes, sometimes it's about the people, and I am so blessed to serve with a couple of people who are honest with me, laugh with me, argue with me, and love students with me.

Wednesday, Stephen, Whitney, and I went to look at the summer calendar and did all the above. Whitney even drove Pia (my Passat) and I got to just play DJ with the iPod and listen to Stephen's wild and crazy adventures growing up in the Mobile area. If he's missing any fingers just think alligator wrestling!

They keep my butt out of the wringer and take care of the details and the leg work to make sure things happen like they are supposed to.

THANKS GUYS!!


Here's a couple of pictures from our outing. We were in Fairhope with Mobile behind us across the bay.


















They/we make a great team. Keep up the great work guys!

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
