Sunday Can't get here quick enough

What a strange week this has been so many great " Moments"- You know I love moments- that sounds kind of girly I know but you get it right? Its about relationships with my wife, my Daughter Sarah at college, My daughter Maggie at home, old friends , new friends. new possibilities- they are just pieces that come together and form our lives.

Moments hurts sometimes- I have had that this week too.

I am excited about what God is already doing in my heart for this new series on the relationships closest to us-FAMILY- we all got em. I see with fresh eyes the monster difference He makes. it blows me away- I have come so far and have so far to go- just think of what could be. That's what I like best about hangin with God, He is all about hope and possibilities- with Him there are no limits. Even for my family- even when I can't see it, or even believe it....It can happen.. color me surprised. Can't wait to be together... Sunday can't come quick enough for me! Don't miss our.See ya there!

RL Family Camp 2007

What a great time! There is something about just getting away together, having some fun and eating a LOT of marshmallows. However, I think it is through the eyes of the kids that we see things the clearest. It is family camp- we as a church are a family. We all belong together, we all need each other, we are all unique and we fit together perfectly. I sat in my chair during the movie on Saturday night and simply thanked God for this wonderful place called Real Life. I am amazed at what God has done... but I am convinced that we are at the very beginning... the first steps of a great journey God has for us. Thanks to everyone for being such an awesome family to me.

Input

I had to Gas up my truck this week and I was trying to decide what to put in- I know Gasoline but what Grade? Regular? Premium? Super extreme? Should I use a name brand or just anything- just get the cheapest?

It made me think What goes in me? Food- thoughts- advice-.
I realized that everything has an effect. So i decided to try to pay attention to the input into my life.
I have been listening to Drive time devotionals on my ipod( you Can follow the link on the Real life homepage to listen with me. also I thought I would start sharing what books I am reading- now a disclaimer- I read a lot of books of all different styles but I don't always read the WHOLE book. I know that seems weird to some of you but...I'm weird. Right now I am reading "the Barbarian Way" by Erwin Raphael Mcmanus. The book is challenging me to unleash my faith- not play it safe,to live life out there on the edge, where faith is alive and vibrant.

Whats going in you? It's a good question.

Looking for whats Real and Finding Christ.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE WIN?

Are you ready? Will you recognise the win when you get there? Seems simple enough doesn't it?

I think it really is simple, we just like to complicate things. In this life the WIN is simply being one with Christ.
It is life changing and it is amazing.

I was thinking the other day about how hard Jesus has fought to reach me. Everything he had to overcome to cut through my selfishness, my ignorance, my blindness to things of God? It didn't stop him a bit. He cut right though and found me. THAT'S THE WIN.

Cool isn't it?

I can't wait for Sunday
