Trying to get the brain going this morning. Coffee, where’s the coffee. # Glancing through the headlines-then some heart work. # Can’t sleep, might as well work. # Up to focus my mind on things above (Col 3:1-2). # At my least favorite place-the dentist. Execution scene from Braveheart is about to pop into my head as I lay down next to the “tools” # Freedom! # Time to go play at the park! # Powered by Twitter...

This should be fun. # A little background: 4 of our 5 Councilmen have been indicted for fraud. Thankful we can bring our city's conscience before God tonight. # The lone unindicted Council member nominated himself as mayor.

Looking forward to it. # RT @tomascol: RT @JimBelcher: TIm Keller’s advice to young pastors seeking experience.
