It’s Great To Be 8!
I am the proud Poppa of an 8 year old gal who delights my heart.
Halle, you’re a wonderful little lady! You bring me great joy and are a blessing to our family! We all praise God for you!
We love you HG! Happy Birthday!
Celebrate with us and thank God for the blessing Halle is to our family (and to many others)!

Monday Morning Quarterback
A recent pic from our church
Great times yesterday being able to deliver God’s Word to the flock at Faith. For those interested, you can click here to get to the sermon. I commented to a few people that I really enjoyed being able to preach and really discovered that I had missed it more than I had thought. Though I have had the opportunity to speak quite a bit (camps, retreats, youth group, Youthmark, etc.) in the last year and a half, it had been since August of 2008 that I had preached in a Sunday Morning service (shortly after starting Youthmark I went back to Boulevard Park to preach).
My wife said of yesterday, “that may have been among the best, if not the best sermon you’ve done.” Wow, that made my day! Such encouraging words!
Ultimately a sermon is only “the best” if the recipients and the deliverer have gleaned from God’s Word, allowed the Spirit to convict/move and then they all become doers of it. So, no Monday Morning Quarterback here, it’s time to go live it out instead of just analyzing it!

It Has Come to This…
In times of war, representatives from both sides come together to negotiate.
Treaties are signed.
Now we hope that the treaty sticks...

I’ll get back to our regular schedule blogging and explain my “break” tomorrow… but for now…
The Aluminum Pole, a "Frank" classic!
Get out your aluminum pole.
Write out your grievances.
Prepare for the feats of strength!
That’s right, it’s December 23!
It’s Festivus for the Rest of Us!
“No Bagel, no bagel, no bagel”
And so you know, as a holiday gift, I did make a donation in
each of your names to “The Human Fund” ~ Money for People.
Happy Festivus to Everyone! (for more information on this, click here)

A First (of many)…
It finally happened. Parenthood has caught up with us. We knew it would. To be honest, I’m surprised it has taken this long.
Our daughters go to two different schools right now. Audrey is at a school that only has p/k and Kindergarten. Halle is in a K-8 school. Well, they both have Christmas Programs scheduled for the EXACT SAME TIME!
This is the first time I can remember two different things our kids have been involved with has divided the family in terms of attendance.
So, the family splits for the evening…
Christmas programs should unite, not divide!.
Let’s not even get into the “why did Mommy go to her concert and not mine?” question.

Hearts Tourney in Review…
Finished third (out of 24 guys)!
This is my best finish in years, if not ever. Good times.
My friend Byron (yes, the Byron you prayed for and his cancer from last summer) took the championship. I am bitter because he gave me the queen twice in the finals. (I’m not really bitter, just playing around).
Congrats Byron. It was really a fun tournament.
