Getting started on what should be a full and fun day-first up: prayer, Scripture, and a half pot of French Roast. # Sermon Prep time! Romans 16:3-16! # Just made it home from teaching at a new members’ class and pastors discussion. Now to do a little sermon prep # Off to a Sunday School class fellowship-Cinco de Mayo celebration-just a little late. It’s like our celebrating Christmas on New Year’s eve # Home from the Sunday School bash-was very wet, well at least for me and Christian. Fun time. Now time for more sermon prep. # Beginning the Lord’s Day thinking on His word-thankful for fresh mercies each morning. # Off to enjoy the Lord’s Day with the Lord’s people. # Pretty good sized jolt-seemed to last awhile-I DESPISE earthquakes. # Kids are down-time for a small dinner and a West Wing episode-we just started season 7-for the third time. # Praying through the word and my schedule for the week-looks to be full of opportunities for increased sanctification. # Deep into study for Wednesday’s class on The Baptists-have to cut it short-time to head to the office. # Flurry of a day so far-great Pastors’ Council meeting, then a quick lunch watching Meet the Press, then an hour on financial admin-now email # uh oh – puter is about to crash again-I smell a certain sort of fruit in my technological future. # Checking some headlines and about to read the Word-but we have a little 17 mo old who really does not want to sleep and really wants to cry. # What?! Only one Tweet all...

Headed for Disney Land-Brie has been talking about it non-stop for several days-already a cult member before ever going. All hail the rat! # Let the mayhem begin http://twitpic.com/4uu44 # A nine hour day-4 rides, lunch, dessert, a sea of humanity, and a pic with Winne the Pooh (Brie’s fav)-now to recover. # Just enjoyed an In-and-Out picnic in our front yard-what a georgeous evening. # I’m outa here-bed time for me. # Happy mother’s day to my beloved-who has shown herself a steady mother through and unsteady family time so far this year. We are blessed. # Just made it home from a great night of fellowship at church-now to help get the kids down and relax my mind a bit with Kel-full & good day. # Prayer then prep for my class on the Baptists-live this study. # Computer just crashed-blue screen-this has been happening a lot lately-3 times last Tuesday. Uh Oh! # Crash # 2 Today! Not good for a 7 mo old laptop. # Here’s my crash issue-not hopeful, not helpful: http://is.gd/yXUM # Had an enjoyable night out with Kel. Beautiful close of a long day. # Up to begin the day-prayer and more work for my class on the Baptists-covering The Southern Baptist Convention. # RT: @productivity501: It is those who make the worst use of their time who most complain of its shortness.~ Jean de la Bruyere in reply to productivity501 # At the church office digging into ministry projects-some fun stuff ahead!

Big adventure has begun early this morning-details to come. # No news yet…much drama-no news. # Well-the adventure continues-we are in Day 2-not sure what is happening. # Praying, reading, preparing, waiting-The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice (Ps 97:1). # Pt 1-At court for Liz’s final hearing-the court plans to drop the dependency and the kids will likely be moved to Arkansas tomorrow. # Pt 2-we have been asked to adopt twins who have yet to be born. We anticipated it this weekend, but much uncertainty exists in the situation # We saw Liz and Jade for the last time-they were in court. It was over quickly. Thankfully, the kids looked well. While sad we are satisfied. # Time to pray, read the word and set my mind on things above. # To the office-much administration to do-the stress mounts. # At my desk-piles of files and paper are now organized for the day – working through the list of a thousand things. # Now to the piled up e-mail-this could take awhile-but I vow to be done with it before the day is out. # Just finished responding to 81 e-mail I had marked for follow-up. Now on to the finances. # finished finances-had lunch-watched Meet the Press-read a few blogs-now back to work, task list time! # Made some good headway on a number of projects-now to head home and enjoy the family. # Great time playing with the girls tonight-so fun to laugh with them. They are out, I’ve been working on a blog post-time for me to be out. # Enjoying the quiet of...
