In Disguise


Today at lunch, I went to my boys' preschool for a fall festival. I got to watch toddlers dressed as pirates and princesses running wild all hyped up on candy and kool-aid. I was reminded that the power of imagination is so important. On some level, all of us (even the "Yoda Dog" in the picture) desire to put on a costume that will allow us to live out the adventurous spirit that too-often lies dorment within us. I need to be reminded that I don't need a costume or an alter-ego to live the adventure God has called me to (and neither do you). I just have to cast off the fear and restraint that holds me back. We all need to let our inner child (and inner Yoda and inner princess and inner pirate) loose more than just one day a year! Live the advenute...whether you're wearing a costume or not.

Busy...

It's been awhile since my last post and technically my last two posts were just silly YouTube videos, so you can safely say that I have been slacking as a blogger lately. I admit that my consistency in posting has not been stellar as of late, but I've been pretty busy. Here's an abridged list of what has been keeping me away from my blog...

*I started a facebook page and immediately became addicted.
*My family came into town and surprised me for my 30th birthday (which isn't actually until Oct. 26). It was an awesome night (thanks Ashley)!
*I preached a PG-13 sermon on marriage with a bed on the stage (and a couple in it).
*I've been trying to run off my love handles by training for a half-marathon this weekend which will be the longests distance I've ever run (or walked) at once.
*The USA network has been running reruns of House and I've become more addicted to that show than I have to facebook.

This short list is just the tip of the iceberg. There have been plenty of other trivial things that have kept me busy as well, but I'm going to do better to keep fresh content for you (my 3 loyal readers). I think House is getting ready to start...gotta run!

Hungry Eyes

Ahh...the Eighties were a beautiful decade! Check out the second promo video for this Sunday's "Spice Up Your Marriage" Message. You'll laugh...you'll cry...you're want to grow a mullet!
