Summer Vaction 2008
I misplaced my digital camara when my family and I went to Myrtle Beach. I had to buy a disposable camara so I could at least take some half way decent pictures. I got the pictures developed today. Here are a few pictures from our trip. (This was Micah's first visit to the beach)

ACCELERATE
The first day of ACCELERATE was absolutely amazing. It was so informative. God is really doing an awesome work at C3 church in Clayton, NC. Pastor Matt Fry and guest Pastor Greg Surratt were very inspirational. The time we had in worship was so freeing. We have two more sessions tomorrow and then that will conclude this years conference. If tomorrow is anything like today it will be flooding with the Spirit. God bless.

We Need to Pray For Mike!
Guys, on July 9th I posted two videos I titled, "This is Worship" by Mike Guglielmucci.
Mike wrote a song called "Healer" and it was inspired by the terminal cancer that he had been struggling with for 2 years. Well I read today that his terminal illness was a lie. He had never suffered with cancer at all.
We need to seriously pray for him and his family through this. Also pray for the ones that this has affected in a negitive way. We need to pray for the ones who will struggle with unforgiveness. The song, "Healer" is a great song and will be for along time to come. It has blessed me greatly. You can read the article here.

Heart Doctor
Deuteronomy 8:2- Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you testing you to prove your character, and to find out weather or not you would obey His commands.
In this verse Moses was talking to the Israelites and telling them to remember what they and their ancestors had just went through. He told them to remember the Exodus from Egypt and what it took for them to stop going around the same stinking mountain.
God had tested the Israelites hearts through the wilderness of the Exodus. God knew what was on their hearts, so He did not test them for His benefit. He tested them so they could reflect on their own character. If you can remember the Israelites had complained to Moses on several occasions that God had led them out into the wilderness to die. Check theses next verses out.
Deut8:3- Yes, He humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with mana, a food previously unknown to you and you ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Deut8:4- For these forty years your clothes didn’t wear out, and you feet didn’t blister or swell.
Is God testing you in a certain area of your life?
Is there something that you are struggling with inside that you can’t seem to shake?
What is it?
It is important for us to reflect, to take an account on where we are at spiritually, as a leader, as a follower, as a husband, as a wife. It is easy to get into a everyday routine and end up missing what God might be trying to show us. The Israelite went in circles around the same mountain for forty years because they continued to turn back to what they knew and did not pursue God.
God knows you. He knows everything about you. He wants us to put our life into His hands and trust Him. He longs for our relationship with Him. In Jeremiah 1:5 God says, “ I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.”

What is a True Disciple
I ran across some notes I had taken from one of Darrell's messages back when we went to Centerveiw. What does it really mean to be a true disciple?
* Disciples look at spiritual issues, not circumstances.
*Being a disciple doesn't mean you can just tag along.
*Nothing equal too or more than Christ in your life.
*(Luke 14:26) God is to be #1 in your life over everything.
*(Luke 14:27) A disciple will share in Christ suffering.
*(Luke14:28,32) A disciple will count the cost.
*A disciple loves and trust Christ enough to go.
*(Luke14:33) A disciple will pay the price.
* (Luke14:34,35) A true disciple will just do it.
* Be who God has called you to be.
Your identity is found in Christ not in what you have done.

NFL is here
The NFL in my opinon is the most exciting thing on TV in the Fall. It doesn't matter how much drama the NFL can produce at the start of each season it is still at the top of the sporting world. Why? I guess the guys in the office know what it takes to market the sport. There is no other televised sport that can change rules and have their drama episodes and keep their fan base. There is a lot of NASCAR fans who have sworn not to watch racing anymore due to all the rule changes. MLB over the last several years have started to get their fans back due to the strike years ago. You get my point. Anyways the NFL this season has it's pre-season drama with Brett Farve. Where is Brett gonna go? Tampa Bay? New York? He is defenitly not staying in Green Bay. Who is in the wrong here? Is Green Bay in the wrong for not letting Brett come back out of retirement to start at quarterback after they have started to build around Aaron Rodgers? Or does Brett think just because he is who he is he can have special treatment? It kinda reminds me of a word in James2:1-4
My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here's a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,”
have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

Hitting My Marks
This past week I started the one hundred push-up challenge and I really thought it was gonna be easier than it is. I really wanted to believe that I was stronger than what I am. But I'm not. Although I am a little stronger than I was when I first started the program. This was my set today: 15-13-10-10-MAX(15)=63 push-ups. That's 19 more push-ups than when I first started. Friday I start week two. Week two will be more challenging than week one.
Things that I've learned about myself.
I've learned some things about myself that I really already knew but here it goes....
1. I really stink at golf.
2. I'm not very strong. (this one hundred push-up program continues to remind me of that)
3. I have been extremly blessed with an awesome wife and two little rugrats.
4. My problems are no match for my God.
5. and I have an awesome group of friends.
