Aahhhhhh. . .

This morning was ultra-busy - as were the last two days. I've just had a ton of little things to tie up and get out the door (so to speak). This afternoon I'm at Carpe Diem - (as I climb upon my soapbox) a local coffee shop with FREE wireless - take that consumer-friendly Starbucks who forces patrons pay to use their wireless (another pet peeve of mine).

(stepping down off of soapbox)

The atmosphere is relaxed. They roast their own beans here, so the aroma is i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e! The coffee is wonderfully rich. And they have some of the best pecan pie I've ever tasted - next to my two grandmothers, one who made a living selling hers. Let's be clear here, south of the Mason-Dixon, that's pehkahn pie . NOT peeeecan pie. A peeeeeecan is what my parents took on a trip for my brothers and I to peeeee in so we didn't have to stop every time one of us had to go to the bathroom.

So. . .It just hit me, not only is this blog informational, it's also educational. Who'da thunk it?

Hope you're having a pehkahn pie kind of day!

Mike

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

Yesterday was the Day

Yeah, ok, so it the title should read Today is the Day! But I was busy last night so I didn't get a chance to post. So. . .it's Yesterday was the Day . " The day for what? ", you may be asking yourself. Mmmmmmm. . . If you've been tracking things here at Soakin' Up Life you know that I haven't been soakin' up very much lately because I've been so worn out. Well. . .last week the guys I meet with each week for Bible study jumped my case about not working out, running, cycling, or SOMETHING! Then, when got home yesterday a friend of mine TOLD me to get on my bike and hit the road - not suggest, told me to head out the door! I took their advice. I hung up the phone, changed clothes, grabbed my bike and headed out the door for a 20-mile ride. What a difference 20 miles makes. The first 5-10 miles about beat me up, then I got in the groove and started pedaling and looking for places to ride. I've been scared to ride on the roads arou...
