Megan Cox – brick through windshield

This is horrible.  Please watch and pray for this family.  Megan Cox is a year round intern for Truth Student Ministries.  She is an amazing woman of God.  Right after the accident while at the hospital she said she forgives the person who did this to her.  Please see video attached.They are going to have to replace her cheek bone because all four layers of the bone were shattered.  They will use titanium to do this and it will take multiple reconstructive surgeries.  More details on the video.

Star Wars Legos, Ken's Yes, Chicago, Talking Donkeys, Rockband, House is gone, new timlemons.com

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.

Awesome Staff Team

We had our weekly Truth Staff meeting today.  It was really cool today because we talked about planning for the summer. But I have to say my favorite part was when I was telling them what I wanted to do during my sermon.  To build suspense I won’t say what it is. But lets just say the preparation involves some adult volunteers, woodworking, tables, pens, candles, black fabric. When I said my idea they were pumped up and immediately started delegating the different jobs to people and said don’t worry about it, we’ll take care of all that stuff. Did I mention woodworking? They are going to build something for me (nothing major, but still).

I just think it awesome to see them jump up and before I could even ask if they would help, they just took it and ran with it! They also ran a lot further than I would have ran with it. That’s the benefit of a team! Thanks guys!

Now that I’ve made it sound way more special than it is come Wednesday night and check it out!

Lost, Vantage Point, Private Kicking, and a Funeral

Ok… today was a fun day.

  • I just got done watching Lost episode 5 of Season 4 – “The Constant”. Holy Cow! Lost is so creative and imaginitive and insane – it’s just crazy.  I am so proud to be a Lost fan! 🙂 What would your constant be?
  • I watched Vantage Point tonight with Everett. It was a REALLY GOOD (not great) movie.  It is definitely worth watching. I actually caught myself biting my knuckles at one point (not just because I had to go to the bathroom badly).  I had really high expectations of this movie because it looked so awesome from the preview. But if I went into that movie with a “tabula rosa” (clean slate) mind and had never seen the previews, I would walk away happy.
  • Private Kicking – So I watched the Truth building today – meaning from 3-6 we have kids there hanging out and I’m responsible. Well at closing time I walk outside and see a kid laying on the ground and another kid sees me and starts walking away (at a hurried pace).  I go to the kid and I can see a tear in his eye and I ask him if he is ok. He doesn’t move. So I’m like, “uh-oh.”  Long story short he finally started talking. Turns out he and his friend were trying to kick each other where it hurts and apparently the other kid won. Oh the stupid games we boys play.  There’s more to this story but I don’t want to say it on here because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
  • I went to my first student ministry related funeral today. Nick’s (drummer in band) grandfather passed away this week and the service was today. I feel so privileged that God has called me to minister to students. I hope I am way over communicating to them that I care and that they can come to me about anything.

It’s time for bed. Tomorrow I am going to search desperately for a place to rent for my family and I. The church is going to help my family and I out so they don’t have to wait until the house sells to move here.  So the ball is in my court. I have to find us a place to live temporarily and then I can go get my family. Kinda reminds me of “I have gone to prepare a place for you and now I am going to go get my bride.”  It has officially been a month now since I have seen my wife and kids. I miss them terribly.
