I have a lot on my mind!

Let's start with this week:

My high school's both girl's and boy's team are in the state playoffs. It has brought back so many memories. They play saturday and then go on to the final four in Macon Georgia. This would be sooo cool. We are not in our 3500 seat arena. Same place we have Junior High Chapel. I have mixed feeling about chapel.

Next week, I will be at Oklahoma Christian leading chapel for two days. They are being very generous to me in inviting me to come and lead their chapel. I am excited about this and looking forward to it. I do miss the college student scene. Who knows I might catch a bug out there. HA!
(I have been back to Harding during Uplift. Not an official invitation to come and lead in chapel. I did get a call to let them know when I am in the area. I live in Atlanta Georgia. Searcy Arkansas is not easy to get to within 30 minutes. Now, I'm not bitter, just pointing out OC is calling me!

Adults still make me sick in how they run their lives when they have children. I pray for you parents and all adults to make wise choices. I usually say this to teenagers, now I am saying it to adults.

I could go on. I wont since I have not wrote in a while.

Peace,

Oh, No woman to brag about today. Stay tuned.

Feeling Healthy!

I am on a health kick today. Lunch will be here in a few minutes and I am thinking about giving up my sweet tea! I can't believe it. After my 4 mile walks, I have been drinking a lot of water. By the way, the treadmill experience has been great. I like it a lot! I am sweating for Jesus on that thing especially when I try to keep up with all of the ladies in the room.

Confession: I am trying to control my bloodsugar, and lose weight for the summer. It is my goal to return to school in the fall a different man. I am still loving the protein bars- I am just trying to find them with less sugar.

I have paid my bills for the month. I am wanting to live on less. I am doing a great job so far. Living in an apartment, I have gotten my electic bill below $20. I can't believe it either. That is what the bill said, so I will pay it! Hallelujah!

Confession: I am wanting to give more to church and other good organization. I was not a proud man when I did my taxes thinking I gave more than I did. At our church, this sunday is Mission Sunday, so I have planned on making a generous contribution. We do it twice a year. My goal is to double what I give this sunday the next Mission sunday in October. It's bold, but you have to have goals that require faith.

Have a blessed day! I teach the College students to tonight. Pray for them. We are a very small group but have great conversations about life.

Life is Good!

I have been busy with my usual things like family, job, and church.

Family: Everyone is going ok. I have been spending more quality time which is good. I am trying to be a more loving person every day. My nephew's overall are doing well. I have niece that will graduate this year. I am excited she will be attending college which is good to break the pattern of my family.

Job: It has been good here lately. I am understanding more each day what my role is. My students are great. I drove a bus route the other day in a neighborhood where the houses are as big as our school building. Some of the children going into these houses are our best. They are very respectful and kind.

Church: Has been great as well. I love my church family.

Youth Rallies: Have started up again. I will be in Idaho this weekend for one. Next month I will be in Sulphur La. I will be in Searcy Arkansas for 3 weeks for Uplift bible camp. I love rallies and Uplift. I keep meeting people who were at Uplift 05, which is great. God has blessed me to be a part of some great gathering this year. I have to be honest and say I did miss Christeen in Russellville Arkansas. I have been a part of that rally since 1991. I guess I am getting old.

Have a blessed day!
