O.K., I know....it has been WAAAAY too long. The redesign is not coming as quick as I wanted to. I need some new promo pics to make it happen and have not taken the time to shoot them. So, it'll still be a few weeks before I'm back full time on the blog.
I wanted to share this video. This is one of my favorite worship songs "God of this City" sung by American Idol Winner Kris Allen.
Family Notes
Mady finished up Kindergarten and had a great year. She lost another tooth this week. Mackenzie is talking more. She keeps us laughing. We're enjoying the summer. Memorial Day weekend, we spent with my parents in Waco. We got to swim, eat, shop, eat, have a date and did I mention eat. My mom cooked some great food. I went on a diet as soon as we got back. We also got to go to VLC. My dad is the business administrator there and it is the church that we attended through my adolescent years. Loved the worship and look of the facility. Kevin Harrison and his team are doing a fantastic job there.

Patience
So, I had hoped to launch a new site today. It just is not going to happen. So, I hope you will be patient while I still do the redesign.
Some quick bullet points.
Sasha and I are doing great. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. :)
I spent yesterday working with my Dad and Grandaddy. We moved a bunch of stuff at my Grandaddy's business. I even drove the forklift. :) We're headed back out today to do some more work.
NFL schedules were released yesterday. The Cowboys have a brutal schedule....especially the last five games. I'm pumped that they have 6 nationally televised games though.....3 Sunday Night games on NBC, 1 Monday Night game on ESPN, 1 Saturday game on NFL Network and Thanksgiving Day against the Raiders. I don't have high hopes this year. I hope they make the playoffs.
For all you Guardian fans.....today they release their new website...houseofguardian.com I can't wait. :)

New Site Coming Soon
There's some changes coming soon to this blog.
First off, let me apologize for not blogging more. I promise that in the near future you will see more consistent blogging from me.
Second, I'm in the process of redesigning this site. I'm considering hosting it at a different company other than blogger that will give me a few more features. So, in the meantime, I will not be blogging. My goal is to have the new site go live on April 15th. So, check back on tax day and see what is happening.

Keep doing what your doing
Why do I do what I do? The answer is simple.....Changed Lives
Through the social network of Facebook, I have been able to reconnect with many people that were either in the youth groups or churches where I have been on staff in the past.
I recently received this message from one of those people.
"I want to thank you for all you taught me as a teen... God used you to feed and water the seed he had planted. I never lost those truths ... the experiences in youth at a time when my home was full of drugs and I spent many nights hiding in the closet from crack heads.the youth group was my safe place. My link to hope..... I have ran from God many times, but the truth of his unconditional love has always brought me back. Much of that truth I learned through the time I spent in youth....anyway... I just wanted you to know that your obedience to the Lord ...welll... it probably saved my life.... I didn't think I would live to be 18... I turned 18 at Southwestern.... Thanks. Keep doing what your doing."
So, I'll continue to stay focus on my life's mission. I'll keep doing what I'm doing.....helping people connect to God.

Change
Over the past few days, I have laughed at the number of people that are complaining about the Time Change. It happens twice a year. Personally, I like having more daylight time in the evening to go outside and play with the girls, cookout, do yarkwork, etc. I know that it takes some getting used to, but to me the benefit outweighs the initial frustration.
Just so you know, I'm not immune to resisting change. This week, the Newsboys announced that Michael Tait of DC Talk fame would be replacing Peter Furler as the Lead Singer of the Newsboys. Furler would still sing on the studio albums, but Tait will be the touring vocalist. Now, I like Michael Tait. I'm a huge DC Talk fan. However, I personally think an American singing lead in the Newsboys destroys the Aussie Mystique that they have been known for. To me, it's the beginning of the end for the Newsboys. (Note: See Petra as an example....when Bob Hartman quit touring, then Petra's days were numbered)
The point is...we all resist change. We do not like change. Abraham had to change locations. Noah had to change his accomadations (and build it too). Paul had to change his beliefs and his name. The list could go on and on. God requires us to change. Romans 12:2 tells us that we will be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Transformation is change.
What is God asking you to change?

Scattershooting
1. Kenzie has been sick most of the week. Then, Tuesday Night, I came down with a stomach virus. So, I haven't had much of a chance to blog. In fact, yesterday, I stayed in bed all day.
2. I really appreciate the ladies that brought food for our family last night. They heard that Kenzie and I were sick. So, they loaded up some of the food from the Wednesday Night Meal and brought it to us. It really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much Tammy and Maurine.
3. I woke up this morning to non-stop ESPN coverage of Terrell Eldorado Owens departure from the Dallas Cowboys. To me, this means that there are no more excuses. It's time to win and win it all. If Dallas was a favorite last year entering the season with TO and without Roy Williams, then they should be a favorite entering the season this year. Nothing less than a playoff win is deemed a failure. I'm looking forward to Football Season.
4. I'm gearing up for Sunday. Last week was awesome. This week, we are looking at the Helmet of Salvation. I can't wait. :)
5. Well, after many months of me trying to convince Sasha she needed to get on Facebook, she finally caved in and signed up for an account. You can check out her profile here.

Monday Morning Blog
What a weekend! It seemed like I really didn't slow down. I went to bed by 9:15 last night which is something I NEVER do.
Yesterday morning was incredible. We have been talking about Spiritual Warfare. For the last several weeks, we have been talking about the different elements of the armor of God. Yesterday's message was on the Shield of Faith. The best part of the service was at the end when I got to pray with a person to receive Christ. How awesome is that!!!!!
Our faith is attacked by doubt. We need to realize that God is in control of every situation and trust him. One day, he will reward the righteous. So, we must obey him. In the end, we win. God's Kingdom will prevail. We win!!!!!
WIELD THE SHIELD!
