A Day in the Life of a Lemon

At the end of Craig’s Message he read this prayer and it was awesome! This is only part of it, I found it here.

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.

I love it when Christians are recognized as the top of their talent. Usually Christian stuff is lame and doesn’t represent Christ.  We should have the best guitar player, singer, basketball player, etc.  Kyle Loza was in student ministry at Saddleback and is from the Riders 4 Christ team.  He won with this trick he invented called, “Electric Death”

WOW. Speechless with tears in my eyes! This is amazing. Love to hear stories of God working in people’s life. Props to Newspring for presenting it in such a moving way!

Here is some random stuff running through my head:

• Luke has been playing star wars legos on his Nintendo DS.  He is really good at it.  I love it! He calls Darth Vader – Dark Lazer!
• I really enjoyed Ken’s Yes from his yes and no feature he does on his blog.
• I am leaving today for Chicago! Pretty crazy. I have never been there before and I am looking forward to seeing Willow Creek for the first time. Truth Staff is going to the Shift Conference.
• Are next series in Truth is called, “Talking Donkeys“.  It’s about hard to believe stories in the Bible, the talking donkey, floating axe head, etc.
• I have been playing Rockband with the kids a lot lately.  They really love it and I enjoy watching them ROCK! Luke will make all sorts of cool faces and moves while drumming.  His list of moves includes, but is not limited to, playing from behind the drum set, jumping high in the air and coming down with a stomp (sure our neighbors underneath us love that one), spinning around in between hitting the drums, etc.  Mia just loves singing and I find it amusing everytime she sings, “Creep”.  There’s just something about hearing a 7 yr old saying, “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo”
• We officially closed on our house yesterday! Praise God for selling our house so quickly! In a place that normally takes 6 months for a house to sell, ours only took 6 weeks.
• I want to change my blog.  It’s been like this for a while.  I wish I had time to learn CSS and create my own style.  Anyone out there feel like creating me a wordpress custom theme feel free.  Although I doubt I’ll get as many responses as Tony.

Man my church rocks! I just got an email from Meagan that ladies in the church want to cook us dinner.  I was like ok that is cool.  

But wait… not just one or two nights.  They are cooking us dinner on 3/24, 3/25, 3/26, 3/27, 3/28, 3/31, 4/1, and on 4/2.

So for a week and a half they are going to provide dinner for us. How awesome is that!

Thank you The Met and thank you God for bringing my family and I to such an awesome place!
