Parenting Survey


I'm here in my Hebrew class and I got a couple of minutes free. Just wanted to let you know about our exciting parenting sermon series, seminar, and survey that will be launching soon. I especially want to encourage you to take the online parenting survey (should be ready by this Monday). Once you take the survey make sure to pass the news along to all your friends and family.

Watching The Olympics

I know...I should be asleep right now. I have a full, busy day tomorrow and I definitely need the sleep. But I'm really enjoying watching the Olympics. I guess its a combination of the competition and patriotism. I am very proud to be an American. No other country in the world has the unique mixture of freedom and opportunity. Phelps just won another gold medal in the 800m relay! I would be yelling at the television, but the everyone else in the house is asleep.

One last thought: As exciting as competing in the Olympics is...following Jesus Christ is a million times better!

Sunday Recap

It was a great joy to be in church today. Although it feels a little bit odd not to be speaking (I have had the last 2 Sunday's off), the message was just what I needed. If you missed hearing Paul Null's message on the need for rest you should visit the church website (www.msconline.org) and listen to it. After church we had Paul and Rene Null over to our home for lunch and some great conversation. I am grateful to have a friend like Paul. Every person should have a "Paul" in their life. He is the consummate mentor, friend, and encourager!

This evening's New Community service was rockin! The music and spirit was great. If you don't attend the New Community services (first Sunday night of each month) then you are really missin' out. Rich Stormo presented the budget for the new year. We confirmed the leadership team's decision to approve the hiring of Andrew del Rosario as full time staff! I had the chance to discuss where I believe the Lord is leading us as a church (being a day by day Christian - Acts 2:42-47). We celebrated our salvation and forgivness in Christ with communion. And we even got out close to on time:)

Well, it was a full day for me and I'm tired. We just got the kids in bed and Cecil and I are going to enjoy our favorite TV show Numbers(can it still be called a TV show if I watch it on my laptop over the internet?).
