BANGED UP AND BEAT DOWN

Please be in prayer for my boy Chaz. We went dukes of hazard into a pasture and broke a bone in his back. The El Camino is no more. He'll be in a brace for three months but at least he won't be in a wheel chair. Pray that he recovers fast. I took some pics of him doped up on morphine and figured I'd post them. Love ya Chaz. Smile baby!!!

AMPLIFIED AND CAFETERIA TABLES

What an incredible weekend we just had at amplified. This is our in house student retreat where students stay at host homes all weekend and attend services and outreach throughout the weekend. This one was extra special. Our student ministry did their first CD recording this weekend. It was amazing. It blows me away to hear the worship music coming out of this house by young men and women. They poured out everything they had and God poured out even more. We saw young men and women come to Christ, addictions broken, and lives changed. It is amazing to see how young people can raise the passion and excitement in us older folks lives. When I get around them I am encouraged to jump higher and bow lower. I feel free to worship Christ with everything I have. After service on Saturday about 40 students went out back to the lake to get baptized. It was freezing outside and the lake is nasty but the students don't care, they just want to be obedient. This weekend has started a fire in them that I pray can't be quenched. One of the students went to school today and got on his cafeteria table and said he was going public and started sharing about Christ. The principal told him he couldn't talk about Christ in public which is a bunch of bull. I told him start preaching everyday. I was so fired up. If your reading this and your a student let me say it is YOUR RIGHT to talk about Christ in schoo. They can't stop you. I can't go in a school and share Christ in public but you can. You are the ambassadors for Christ at your school and don't let anyone tell you to be quiet. Shout it to the rooftop. Everything else is let in schools but Christ isn't, NO NO NO! We will proclaim His Name, His Truth, His Word no matter the cost. Well I'm off my soap box. Peace!

Garage Sale

We had a garage sale yesterday to raise money for our trip to Africa. It turned into a modeling show between Jordan and Kelly. They were changing clothes about every 15 minutes. Jordan was changing clothes so much he found his shoes on the rack to be sold. Here are a few pics.

Crazy Two Weeks and Bon Voyage

These past couple of weeks have been quite a thriller. First we got to go on our student ministry retreat at Winbourne Baptist. It was awesome. We almost froze to death but other than that it was good. Papa Moose and I got to throw it down in the kitchen. We ignored the sign on the grill!!! The next day I got to go watch my brother's wife and her mother get baptized. I pray that we become a family that makes Christ our center and we take this world for Him. Later that night we had our vision night slash 15 year anniversary party at HPC. I am so amazed at God's blessing and favor He has given us. I can't wait to see what the next 15 years look like. Finally today my wife and I are heading out on a little cruise. We are going to Cozumel and Progreso. I can't wait to just sit back and relax. I'll post about it when I get back.
