Made It

Well. . .I'm here. . .home. . .Waxahachie, Texas - home of the Fightin' Indians. It's nice. Not just Waxahachie, but being home.

Got here on Saturday. Had Christmas with the fam (pictures to come). Yesterday we all went to church - The Oaks Fellowship in Waxahachie. Great worship - opened with Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve Sarajevo. It was very worshipful and uplifting at the same time. They did a great job. The message was equally challenging - the message of the the purpose of Christ's coming in the angel's announcement and the heavenly hosts' song -
  • Jesus Saves Us
  • Jesus Sustains Us
More about the message later. Just take it from me that Scott Wilson did an excellent job communicating the message and I was ministered to.

This morning I got up and went for a run. It's the first time I've run since the 10K on Nov 4. Due to traveling, sickness, and busy-ness I just haven't made it a priority. This morning I did. I ran through downtown. It was great to re-live experiences and memories as I ran past old store fronts, the courthouse, even the old feed store where I used load box cars of wheat and maze during the summer. Will take some pictures of the ol' town square. It has definitely undergone some major changes since Karen and I lived here in the 80s.

The week is starting to fill up with opportunities to catch up with old friends. I'm looking forward to them.

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
