15 Days Left!


Just 15 more days 'til Cindy and I get hitched! That's a good thing. The hard thing is waiting and finalizing all the plans - paying for them is right up there, too. Next week we're going to spend the weekend with the pastor who is going to marry us. He, laughingly, told me to bring the marriage license and he would go ahead and marry us next weekend and take all the pressure off! I can't tell you how many times I've thought about going through with it. But, alas, I can't. We've been planning this wedding for three months now - jumping through hoops, ordering stuff like crazy, driving each other crazy. I just couldn't pull the trigger. So, we will wait until Saturday, November 17th and enjoy the entire experience!

Tomorrow are the bridal pictures. It will take an entire half of a day for a couple hours of pictures. I'm not complaining. It just takes that long. Actually, I'm pretty excited about it. I can't wait to see Cindy in her dress. I know. . .I know. . .it's bad luck to see her in her dress before the wedding. Sorry I don't believe in luck or coincidence. Look, I don't need luck if God is the God of our hearts and our marriage. It's He who builds a home, not luck. So, I don't give in to all that stuff. Besides I get to get dressed up too for something other than a funeral or someone else's wedding! Yeeeeaaa!

Keep praying for us!
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

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
