Thoughts on a Saturday Morning

Here's just a few random thoughts for this rainy morning:

  1. Great thought about Sacrifice by my friend, Grant - check it out here. And if you don't follow Grant on Twitter or his blog, your loss.
  2. Texas Longhorns - mental mistakes have killed them all season, now they're biting them in the butt. . .AGAIN! Think Mack needs to get after them at half-time.
  3. Great morning to process some thoughts that have been rummaging through my mind. I think I'm making progress. Then again, how would you describe progress?
  4. Teaching on Hannah tonight in our ABF - she's a worshiper, no matter the circumstance! Do you find yourself worshiping God more when things are going well or when you're desperate?
  5. Been going through Robert Lewis' The Quest for Authentic Manhood with about 23 guys on Wednesday mornings - last week we touched on the Four Faces of a Man: King, Warrior, Lover, Friend. There are extremes to each of these. I tend to find myself to the right of the King and the Warrior which makes me a tyrant and a destroyer. OOOoooooo. . .that's not good unless you're out to win The Apprentice. . .and I'm not.
  6. Men's Fraternity - this week we talked about how our past influences who we are today. Hey men, what does that say about you? Your past isn't necessarily good or bad, it's what you do with it that makes a difference. It's worth looking into. . .just saying.
  7. Cindy's with some of our high school girls and leaders on a retreat this weekend. Can't wait to hear what and how God spoke into her life.
  8. I think I love being alone with my thoughts too much. Not only is it dangerous - just ask my staff - but what does that say about me? Then, again, it could be that I'm just recharging the ol' batteries to get ready for another week. Hhhmmmm. . .now there's a thought.
  9. Texas Rangers - way to go guys! That's how you finish strong!! I've not always supported you guys - too many stumbles after the All Star break in the past. But, I will admit, I'm on the wagon and behind you guys. Go take the championship!
  10. Wondering of today's rainy day is the kickoff to 8 more months of this stuff? I know there's three storms in the Pacific waiting to take their turn at the northwest, but what happens after that? Wait and see, eh.
OK, that's 10 completely random thoughts. I don't even think any of them are connected to another. Just stuff bouncing around the warehouse I call a brain.

Enjoy,
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
