Ridin' with the King!


Yesterday, Wed, Dad - A.K.A. "The King" - and I did something we had never done in 4? years - we rode motorcycles together!

Yesterday morning we headed down to the Harley shop where I picked up a fatboy.






Dad rode my 1200. We had to wait for it to stop raining, but that didn't take long. After that we loaded up and headed east.

Rode across Mobile Bay on the Cause Way up to Spanish Fort. Ended up at Moe's Southwest Grill - home of the Homewrecker - the largest burrito I've ever eaten. It's a good thing we were on motorcycles rather than locked up in a car, eh?

After filling our bellies we rode the back roads to Summerdale where we stopped and oogled some old cars in great shape at American Muscle Car Mania. Then we hit Hwy 98 over to Fairhope where we gassed up grabbed something to drink and headed home.

All-in-all we put about 100 miles on the bikes and had a great time - rain and all. Here are a couple of pics of the trip.



















Now if I can convince Dad that he CAN go faster than 55 and without exploding!!

Thanks Dad. It was a blast!

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
