Personal Offense

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Read “Chazown” by Craig Groeschel during my vacation, what a great book on defining and living out God’s vision for your life.
A great thought he had was regarding “personal offense”. It stuck out to me because I often hear Christians say that they take something personally. It also hit because I receive criticism every week […]

Bible Thoughts…

Monday, June 26th, 2006

We’re in this series, “Don’t Fight Naked”, and talking about how to stand firm in our faith (See Ephesians 6:10-18). Yesterday I mentioned that we are no longer our own…

Shots

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Today I received 15 shots in my right leg.  I hit the limit of dosage they can give in one day, so I have to go back Thursday to do the left leg. Ouch!
Thanks for the prayers, the end is in sight. I’m grateful we live in a day and age where I can can receive […]

Please Continue To Pray

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Got the bandanges off my legs today, and man, I look like a pincushion.  I’m still pretty sore, and not walking really well.  Please pray that my legs will be strengthened before the weekend.
I’m burning inside to share what God has been teaching me, and to help us all understand how to live in victory as […]

Surgery Went Well

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

A huge thanks to everyone who prayed for me yesterday, the surgery went well, and I’m home resting.
I will tell you though, don’t ever believe doctors when they tell you, “this procedure will be painless”.  What a bunch of bull.  That thing was 4 hours of constant pain! I know I’m a wimp, and i […]

Please Pray For Me Tuesday

Monday, June 19th, 2006

Found out tonight that I’m going in for a surgical procedure tomorrow (Tuesday). As many of you know, i’ve struggled with varicose veins that have led to swelling, cramping, and pain in both of my legs (and they’re getting ugly).
Tuesday at 2:15 they’ll go in and surgically remove the most offensive veins from my legs, and […]

Back From Vacation

Monday, June 19th, 2006

Lori and I (and Brooke) got back tonight from our vacation. It was a much needed rest, and gave me lots of time to think. I’ll be blogging more about things we experienced last week, but suffice it to say that vacations always help me relax, and that gets my creative juices flowing.
Can’t wait to […]

I’m pumped about services this weekend at Palm Valley. As I sat in our Creative Team meeting yesterday, I realized how challenged every one of us will be by the message this weekend.
You’ll be hearing from two gals who have incredible stories, Jillayne Payne and Nancy Mondzak. They’ll challenge your socks off.  These gals are two […]
