New Laptop

I am back up and running. My old laptop finally quit me and I have been looking for a couple of weeks for a new one. I settled for a Toshiba Satellite, much faster than my acer. Any way maybe I will be able to blog more often. It's Labor Day weekend and I hope all of you have a safe holiday be careful and enjoy yourself it's along time 'til the next one. Me and the boys will be spending this weekend at a Ministry event up in Missouri. I will be back to preach on Sunday morning. Pray for us as we minister to about thiry kids and parents.

Great to be back!

It is great to be back in the swing of things. School started today and I got to pick up my friend Aaron who is in a wheelchair and take him to school on the bus. I love happy people and Aaron was sure happy. He brought his Gold Medals from the special Olympics that he won this summer. Isn't it amazing how some people can overcome the past and others can't. Aaron could really be discouraged about the life that he has been dealt but he chooses to focus on the victories that he can win. All of us could be discouraged about something and if we let it that discouragement will rob us of our own Gold Medals, victories! Let me encourage all of us to go out and compete in life today and bring home the Gold! Look out Michael Phelps I'm after your record.

On vacation

Hi everyone, we are in San Antonio, Texas with Tanners baseball team. We wrapped up the season last night as we lost to Colorado to end our season. We have had a very good trip the boys won their first game ever in the Regional tournament by defeating New Mexico and then fell to Texas 6 - 5. We are about to go to the Alamo and then tomorrow the largest waterpark in the USA. First I must find a Wal Mart and get plenty of sunscreen.

I want to thank everyone for praying for my mom she is doing better and out of the hospital. I can't wait to tell you all more about some exciting stuff that is coming to Emmanuel. It's going to be a great fall! Love ya.
