Lunch in the Springs

I did something really different yesterday. I flew from Tyler, TX to Colorado Springs, Co to have lunch. I then flew back the smae day. 4 flights in one day was to much. I did need to meet with some friends. It just now seems to be a day suspented in time.

I do feel good about posting one day after my last post. So far so good on my commitment to become at most a daily blogger and at least a frequent blogger.

Today I am glad that my house is above sea level. I am not close to the ocean but the pictures of New Orleans are overwhelming. This is going to take years to recover from. There are several hundred people now staying in shelters in Tyler and probally 2500 coming. I hope to find good was to serve and help.

It Is About Time

I thought it was time to make my first post for the year!! So much has happened. I am committing to share through this blog. I am going to write for a while and get in the habit so that I can then ask people to read the thoughts I put down. So if you read this in the future (which would be the present to you) know this is when I decided to really become a blogger rather then yearly to be a blogger.

My six year old son is always coming up with great quotes. This week his oldest sister was calling from college, one of his other sisters answered the phone and told him someone had important business with him on the phone. His response was, "Is it the guy you made Zelda?" You need to know that he and I play Zelda (video game) all the time. He thought the guy who invented the game would call him to see if he might need any help and to discuss the game with him. I know the world is getting smaller but not that small...and anyway I do not think my son knows any Japanese.

30 of 44

Today my wife is 44. It is always a great day since we are now the "same age" again. I have known Denise since she was 14. The last 30 years have been all that I could hope for in a life. God has truly given me great gifts, but his gift of a relationship with a loving caring woman exceeds all but salvation. So today is to the celebration of the love of my life.

A Movie

Took one son and one daughter to see the Incredibles today. What great joy to hear a 5 year old laugh out loud. Then he had to run like Dash. What fun!

Boy Day

I spent the day with my five year old son. He asks me, "Is today a boy day?" Today it was. Nothing more fun than a five year old.

October 25

I found it difficult to post this last month. Not that anyone has read this or ever will. I will consider it a note to self! I spent a great deal of time deconstruting part of a church building. I rather enjoyed the destruction with a purpose. Now, the reshaping has begun.

Staying Home

After a summer of a great deal of travel. It is nice to be home for the weekend. Labor Day has become one of my favorite holidays because of this. Cleaning has become much more exciting!

Out of the Box

Why are we satisfied with things that are too small?
