Mid-Life Crisis or Dream Fulfilled?

I've been told I need to update my blog. So here it is!

Some have questioned my recent purchase of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. They have even gone as far as to call it a Mid-Life Crisis. Yeah right! How dare they. :)

Call it what you will, but I think not. I call it a Dream Fulfilled. And why do I say that? I have always been around motorcycles. My dad had them when I was young. I got a mini-bike in the 7th Grade. I've always rode friend's bikes. When I was older I knew one day I would own a motorcycle. I also knew it wouldn't be any motorcycle - it would be a Harley. So I waited . . .and waited. . . and waited. . . and waited. . . you get the picture.

This year the waiting stopped. And now I own a motorcycle. Not just any motorcycle, but a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. (Click here to see pics of the bike)

Ok. . .so I call it a dream fulfilled. How do I know. Check out these photos of me on my dad's motorcycle. It was 1963 and we were living on Okinawa (dad was in the US Navy). So now you know. Motorcycles have been in my blood since I was ?? years old.





















Still pickin' the bugs out of my teeth, but enjoyin' every minute of it!!

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
