So today I am leaving to go to a men's retreat in DC. Oh yeah, quite the jetsetter. If I had not been listening to God's promptings in my life I would NOT be going this weekend. So superstar had her girl's club last night, and I decided to not work at all today. I even went to bed early so that I could get up and have breakfaast with my family. So superstar got to sleep in, I got to have breakfast with the girls, get them ready for school, drive them to school, everything while the star still slept. That is not something that has happened, I don't think ever. I enjoyed this morning SO MUCH.
So then I come home, have quiet time, read my bible, talk with the star about our walk. NICE. I check my email, and I get one from MC Roomie-this is it. In my bible reading, I am in 2 Samuel, and this morning I read 7-9. In Chapter 7, David is speaking frankly with God and asks Him "Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family that you have brought me this far?" And I am thinking to myself, I am experiencing much of the same things that David-you know the king that is referenced as in 'the house of David' where Jesus comes from-experienced in following His promptings. (PS-More weeping here) So I am considering how my life is different today than it was a year ago, six months ago, a week ago because I have been willing to follow His promptings. Then MC Roomie sends me this email.
KEY POINT-If you follow His promptings, and become vulnerable with others that are trying to follow as well, God will speak to you LOUD AND CLEAR in what you need to do, and how you can serve His purpose. Thanks MC Roomie.

I love the part you wrote about not being the same guy from last year, and just last week. I thought you were fantastic before, but having Christ RULE in you has made such a great change. I guess that is why we all contiune to grow in our faith, keep being sanctified in our walk, and forever submit to the calling daily. You let her sleep in..??.. woow like I said change...next thing you know: you will be willing to only watch people play the wii and not even need a turn....that would be something. Love ya forever tmp

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

NASCAR is COMING. I Like Parties.

I haven't blogged about NASCAR as of yet, but that's because it's the off season. I am a certifiable NASCAR addict, junkie, whatever you want to call it. Always hated it growing up. Then I went to a race. Now I can't stop. I don't like most kinds of racing (although bus racing has caught my eye), but give me Cup, Busch-I don't care, I'm still calling it Busch, or Truck series, and I am happy like little school girl. And so, here it comes, and just for those of you that don't know me-here are some quotes I may have heard at NASCAR events: "I like parties." "Yup. Laid down by the generator, now he's dead." "You mean they were putting up a flagpole when they were electrocuted?" "He's a REAL chef?" "Them fire ants hurt like #$%@!" "I'll go check on the camper, you go to the auto store with Darryl." "You didn't bring a shirt with you, did you?" "There's cooki
