Simple

This is one of my neighbors, Stan. He is a great neighbor.

One of his greatest quality is he is simple. This is a picture of him and the house he is building. It is built out of split logs heavy cross beams as corner posts.

Everything he does is simple. His budget. His walk with Christ. He is very kind and very helpful.

Simple.

He does a FEW things well.

I cannot seem to get away from that thought. Its hard for me to be simple, but I'm trying.

How about you?

Are you simple?

Do you live simple?

I would love to know how if so.

We Are Family

Back in the day there was a family the group, Sister Sledge, sang "We are family"

Coming off of a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday, eating wayyyyy to much, I realize more this year how important family is.

I lost one of my older brothers a little over a year ago. Yesterday, I was thinking about him. As a kid I would not let him fix my plate because he had a wart on his thumb! Lol, that was too funny.

My oldest brother was the "cool" one My older sister was the one that spoiled me. My oldest sister was the one who kept us in line.

By the time I was 15, my parents divorced.

That was hard.

Caused us to be "disfuntional". Or at least that is what the world calls it.

What's cool though, is that we may be older. Less one awesome brother and my Dad may not be with us like it was, but when I am with my family (and their kids, my kids, their kid's, kid's and all of our "dysfunctions" we are still family.

Tell your family you love them.

What The ?????

OK, so I ran across this pastor. Who in the ;*^!!! does he think he is?

I have opinions about stuff, but this guy rolled Billy Graham! Billy Graham? Wow. If you look at this guys videos that he posts on You Tube, he attacks others as well.

He has also attacked Perry Noble at Newspring Church. Perry and his Church are reaching so many people for Christ! Yet, here is this freakin dude that calls him self a pastor attacking men and women of god .

He is gutless and narrow minded! I would love to see the dude walk up to Perry and say it. Perry would not get mad, but it would be cool to see what he would possibly say to the dude.

I don't know. maybe it takes all kinds. OK, i vented. I feel a little better.

Just a Thought.....

What are yours????

Pace

Pace. Thats what this lil old man is about.
That is the hardest thing in the world with someone like me to do!!

When I do something I want to get it done!!

As I read "it" by Craig Groschel I am having to set the book aside and pray after every chapter, sometimes paragraph.

The word that is my new motto (and not an easy one) is "simple"

Yes, simple.

With that I MUST learn how to Pace my self. Not to slow, not to fast. But at the speed that God wants me to go at.

maybe its age.Maybe its because I have been a pastor for a while now. Maybe, just maybe its both and God saying.. Focus, simplify, be diligent and do things ON PURPOSE.

Celebrate, Connect, Commit.

Pace. pace, pace,

Pace

Its gonna take a while, but I'll get it

I think Ill' just set my chair on the front porch this evening and look at the stars.
