whoa, random...

hello all,

so i guess i have some catching up to do... but first i want to say that i have been blessed by some serious posts from people who i did not expect serious posts from... it has been neat and encouraging to see your hearts... that's right, i said neat...

so i had an awesome time with my boy and then boys the weekend before last... it was great to see lee and it was great to go potty with my youngest... it was the first time for me with him and it was so cool to do a daddy thing... every little thing is a great blessing for me with the kids...

one question that came to me over that weekend though that i have been chewing on for about a week and a half is "what is my mission?" just got me thinking i guess...

this saturday was our first contemporary service since a month before Christmas and i loved it... it was so good to play with the guys again and it was an amazing time of worship... (for me anyway... i can't speak for anyone else) i then proceeded to the world's greates campfire... if you missed that, well then you just missed it... too bad for you...

i also am enjoying the tradition of sunday night phase 10 after church... despite the volume level in the house, there is much laughter and i appreciate that greatly... here are two memorable quotes from such evenings:

Rhonda: "skip Theron"
Theron: "Rhonda!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

Scottie: "I'm out."
Theron: "I'm gonna slit your throat!!!!!!"

ahhh, good times...

and so now i am going away for senior girls volleyball to saint andrews... tim and i have coached this team for the second year in a row and i really enjoy it... they are a great group of girls and are a lot of fun to be around... it is fun to win too, but you know...

so yeah, there is my update... with all this serious posting going on i think that i may have to dig deep and come up with a funny one... i will see what i can find... until next time boys and girls; scott's quote of the week was so my idea...

later...

40 Days of Praise: Day 763

true story; hope the ending is not too predictable for some who hate that in true stories... (scott ings)

the other night was a really bad night in terms of sleeping... in other words it was just not happening... it has been a long time since i have had nightmares, but let's just say that the other night was being lam basted hard core with some freaky stuff in my sleep... after waking up around 3 or 4 times i finally clued in that it may be something bigger... so i rolled over and said perhaps the simplest prayer i have ever uttered... it went a little something like this " God, Ya gotta help me out here, I need sleep... Amen... "

here comes the predictable ending... i then rolled over again and that was it for the night until my alarm went off in the morning... Praise God... He is in there for the big and small... i love these reminders... So thank you God for protecting my mind and getting me back to sleep and keeping me there... You are so good...

40 Days of Praise, Day ???

so this is a quick one and i don't even know what day i am on... but anywho...

as was mentioned the band got together wednesday night for our first practice since a month before Christmas... all i can say is that it felt right... i loved it... we worked on 3 new songs and it was great... God just seemed to bring it together and it was a great time of worship... i have really missed these times and hope that we can be disciplined enough to keep this up and have the saturday night services again...

yep, so i guess that is it... Thank You Lord for the guys... May You be the center of our music... it is Yours anyway...

point form post...

just a bit of an update so that kirk does not pronounce me dead...

1) i am not dead despite the attempt on my life by "not neves" and as a side note have gained a taste for paint and glue... okay, the acquired taste may or may not be a lie...

2) once again the mavs finished 4th place and i left the tournament limping and bruised... how fun... i love sports... (really i do)

3) for the first time in a while i got a bit of an april fool's ribbing in... i was able to convince a close friend of mine that the bay of fundy is not considered a part of the atlantic ocean. just a separate, unconnected body of water... love ya sarah...

4) i suppose this could be a praise, but i am super pumped because the band is getting together tonight and practicing for the first time since about a month before Christmas... can't wait... may Christ be the center of this...

yep, so that's all... be blessed today...
