Weekend Wrap Up

Well, the weekend is over and it's time to get on with another week. Speaking of the weekend, here's my wrap up:
  • The Longhorns handily beat Missouri and are now #1 in the BCS standings. I'm not sure I like that since they still have to play Oklahome State and Texas Tech. A lot can happen over the next couple of weeks.
  • Boston pushed the ALCS to seven games, but that's as far as they could go. Tampa Bay won game seven and now head to the World Series to take on the Phillies. My mom's really excited - she was hoping the Rays would win and go to the World Series. Now she's pushing me to root for Tampa Bay. I'm an American League guy, so I'm probably going with the Rays.
  • Alabama Crimson Tide held off Mississippi and took the second spot in the BCS. It was pretty tight for a while, but the Tide held on to take the win. They, too, still have a pretty rough schedule with LSU and arch-rival Auburn.
  • Also went to Praise in the Park Saturday night. What a great crowd - about 5,00 people hanging out and listening to great Christian music. We were a little late, that put us in a place where we couldn't see or hear very well. So we just hung out with some friends. Still pretty cool time.
Had a very good day of Bible Study and worship. Cindy and I decided to take The Love Dare. We joined about 30-40 other husbands and wives for the first session. It was a lot of fun hearing from everyone. Thanks Matt for taking the lead.

Did you have a good weekend?

Yeah, I think I would like the Rays to win, but I'm just not into it like I was when the Dodgers and Red Sox were a part of the playoff picture.

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...
