We Launch in T-6:06:00









Yep, today's the day.

Today we lift off and head's towards Gresham, OR.

I got most of the stuff done I needed to do yesterday - well. . .all except finding Cindy's phone.

I did get her a Go-Phone and the folks at Planet AT&T in Saraland, AL were kind enough to program her SIM card. So. . .at least she has a source of communication. No, it's not her Samsung Blackjack II, but it will do in a pinch. And if we find it we will have a spare phone either of us can use. BUT, for my sake, ppppllllleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee pray we find her phone. :)

Well. . .in the words of Jerry Reed, "We've got a long way to go and a short to get there time." So I guess I'd better sign off and finish up.

I'll be pretty busy this weekend so you can check out the blog for Twitter updates, but I probably won't be posting anything until we get home.

Have a great weekend. Please pray for God's will to be done this weekend and that we will be sensitive to His will.

Gresham folks - we can't wait to see and meet y'all (had to throw in some southern).

And for Keith HOOK 'EM HORNS!!

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...
