A Guilty Pleasure

When we lived in Oklahoma City, there was a chain of restaurants there called Del Rancho. Del Rancho boasts of being the home of the Original Steak Sandwich Supreme. Del Rancho has the most amazing Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich. A Chicken Fried Steak on a bun with lettuce, tomato and Mayonaise. The steak is always hot and fresh....usually so hot that you had to wait a minute to even eat it. There's nothing like it.

However, I have found something close. Sonic Headquarters is located in Oklahoma City. There is no doubt in my mind that Sonic's new steak and rings was somehow inspired by Del Rancho. Although the steak is not near as big and the bun has been replaced by Sonic's Texas Toast, the Sonic Steak Toaster is a great sandwich. The sandwich also comes with Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo.

The only problem is that the sandwich is only available for a Limited Time Only.

A Peyton Update

Jesseca, Peyton's Mom, left the following comment on my blog. I thought it would be great to post it for everyone to see.

"PEYTON IS DOING BETTER. THEY HAVE HAD HIM ASLEEP WITH THE TUBE DOWN FOR SO LONG THAT HE HAS FORGOTTEN HOW TO TAKE THE BOTTLE, AND IS ALSO GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWS OFF THE MEDS,BUT OTHER THEN THAT WE ARE DOING GOOD!! JUST TAKING IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. THANK YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR THE PRAYERS, THEY ARE HELPING!!! I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED! JESSECA"

Please keep praying for this great family! :)

Out of the mouth of babes....

Tonight, we were sitting around the dinner table. Mady is 5 now and quite inquisitive. She likes to ask me about what worship songs we sing in church. She wants to know the whole list.

Tonight, she said "Daddy, what songs are you going to sing tomorrow night?" I replied "I don't know. I haven't prayed about what songs we are going to sing yet."

A little more curious, she said "Then, what songs are you going to sing on Sunday?" Again, I replied, "I don't know. I haven't prayed about what songs we are going to sing yet."

She turned and looked straight at me. With all sincerity, she asked me "Then, what DID you do at the church all day?"

Sasha and I both busted out laughing.

Sunday Update

1. We had a great day at Cornerstone. There was a great spirit in both services yesterday.

2. I am tired of the flu/virus business that is going around town. I talked to several of our people that are dealing with this stuff. In our Kid's Ministry yesterday, they learned about prayer. They wrote their prayer requests down and taped them to the wall. One of the little girls made a request that all the sickness would leave the earth. I'm inclined to agree with her.

3. I enjoyed communicating last night. The message on following the cloud had been stirring in my heart for sometime. I'll be posting it to our website in the next couple of days as we start the Cornerstone Podcast.

Fun Day

Today, we celebrated Mady's Birthday with a few of her friends and family. It never fails on Saturday that the girls are up by 6:30 a.m. ready to go. By 8:00, I was outside putting together the trampoline that we got Mady for her birthday. 4 hours later, I finished. :) I finished literally two minutes before the first guest arrived.

Mady had a blast. The kids did crafts, ate lunch, ate cupcakes and jumped on the trampoline.

After the Party was over, the girls got naps. When Mady got up, we all went back out and watched the girls jump.

I love days like today.

I love dreaming...

My mind has been racing for a lot of today with dreams for the future. I know that we are at a strategic place in the history of our church and really THE church as a whole.

I love to dream. I believe that God places dreams in people's heart. I also believe that God guides the believer by his spirit.

What dream has got put in your heart lately?

Crazy Times

1. Quick update: Kenzie started getting sick last Wednesday. Sasha kept her home from school on Thursday while I was in Little Rock. On my way home Friday Afternoon, I got a call from the school that she was throwing up. Luckily, we were able to get her into the doctor. He admitted her into the hospital to get an IV because she was dehydrated. As we were admitting her, Sasha got the virus. Sasha's parents came and got Mady for us. So, Mady hasn't gotten it. I thought I was going to be fine until about 1 Sunday Morning, then I got it. Kenzie had been doing fine and hadn't thrown up since Friday. However, Monday on the way to school, she started throwing up again. We got her into the doctor and she got some new medicines. We all are doing better now. It has been a crazy, crazy weekend.

2. I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who pitched in during our absence Sunday. Thanks to Bobby Stout for ministering in both services. I also wanted to thank Tammy and Rob. I would like to thank Lisa for taking care of the Kid's Ministry. Anyone else who pitched in.....Thank you.

3. I spoke with Bobby a few minutes ago and Peyton is recovering nicely.

4. I am looking forward to this Sunday's message. I will begin the series entitled "The Prayers of Jesus."
