Purrrrrring

This morning when I woke up I heard Harley (our 7-month old kitten) purring really, really loud!  You know the sound. . .a cross between a Singer sewing machine and a Harley motorcycle (hence the name).  When I rolled over I noticed she was snuggled up  next to Cindy - yep, she's a  snuggler.  I knew her purring could only  mean one thing. . .she was very content being up close to her Momma. And she didn't have plans on moving anytime soon.  She was warm.  She felt safe.  She was comfortable.   She was right where she knew she needed to be.

It got me to thinking, what should be a sign that we are "snuggled" up to the Father and are content?  I mean, shouldn't there be something that others can see, hear, or sense about us that let's them know we are living right up next to our Heavenly Father and content without plans of moving anytime soon?  If so, then how would others know?  What should be our "purring"?

I would love to hear your feedback.

For some reason I have this insatiable need to lick my paws. .  er, I mean hands. . .maybe it's because there's last night's dessert on them. . .hmmmmmm.

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
