thankful for blessings of 2007

on this last day of 2007, i am taking a few moments to reflect on the goodness of God during this past year...
overcoming major back surgery, starting adventure life church, starting and developing new friendships, luke and noah both winning basketball championships, noah turning an unassisted triple play in baseball, nate's first season of basketball, hope continuing to excel at gymnastics, hope's awesome weather project for 5th grade, another trip to Mexico on a missions trip, God's blessing on my business, seeing my brother and his wife finish their new house ... it is beautiful, luke making his junior high basketball team at north garner, learning to appreciate both of our families even more, watching my wife angela...admiring her gifts and abilities and the way she handles our kids....and falling more and more in love with her everyday....
and so much more... God is so good!
take a few moments at the close of 2007 to be thankful....

to all of you who were such a big part of my 2007... i love you!
looking forward to a miraculous 2008!

goodwill toward men...

Have you noticed that during the Christmas season people seem to say nicer things? Like...every check out line I go through the cashier will say "happy holidays" or "merry Christmas" or "have a nice Christmas"..
But do you wonder have they just been programmed to say those things? I can see the memo in the Best Buy employee lounge dictating to the employees exactly what to say...and when to go from "have a nice day" to "happy holidays"...as if it will form some bond between me and them and keep me loyal to their store and products....I don't know they say the same things over at Circuit City?
However, today I went through a line at Target and a young man (probably 20 at most) looked me right in the eye from behind the register and wished me a Happy Christmas and I could tell he really meant it. I said something to him about his emotion and tone and complemented him on his sincerity...he was taken back....and then said these words to me which have had me thinking quite a lot....he said - the angels sang "peace on earth, goodwill to men" just prior to the birth of Christ - then he said that Jesus didn't come just to change our Decembers...but to change our lives. He went on to say "goodwill toward men"...genuine goodwill....that's an everyday decision (not just in December) made by a person whose life has been changed by the coming of Jesus...changed by Christmas! I simply agreed...and left pondering his profound words.
think about that...

something significant about seeing

I was thinking more last night about how many times I've seen awe in the eyes of a child upon their unwrapping of a gift. There's really something significant about seeing. You all know the old phrase "seeing is believing"... as much as I believe in the necessity of faith in our pursuit of Christ and the life He offers...I think I also believe the seeing more of Him increases my ability and my desire to believe for more!
Luke 2 offers us the story of the shepherds being challenged by an angel to go see the newborn Savior of the world...v15 suggest that they decided to go straight to Bethlehem to see what had been told to them. v 17 suggest that when they had seen Him something happened to them...they were infused with a desire to believe in Him...so much that they told everyone what had happened to them.
Maybe this Christmas some of us need our hearts filled with awe again...maybe a little seeing this Christmas would be a good prescription for the soul...the Bible says if we seek Him (in my words "look to see Him") we will find Him....
Let me encourage to see Him this Christmas season...see Him at work, at home, in your friends, in your spouse, in your children....He is there waiting to be seen....there's just something significant about seeing.

unwrapping gifts

just yesterday I brought home some gifts to put under our Christmas tree...when you have four kids the space under the tree can fill up really quick...I sat in our piano room for a while thinking back to many of the gifts I have given my children over the years...all the way to back to when they were infants...
I remembered some of the gifts that they wanted to tear into but needed either my help or Angela's help to fully unwrap the surprise...probably because I used to much tape in the wrapping process (I am always accused of that)....but with a little help they were able to fully experience their new gift.
I wondered while sitting there looking at the tree how many of us have lots of gifts that maybe we just need a little help unwrapping? maybe God has put some gifts in your life that are not fully unveiled yet...this Christmas season look to Him and some your close friends to help unwrap the gifts in your life...
blessings this holiday season!

real HOPE

this afternoon I had the pleasure of joining some other believers at Garner United Methodist Church, and together we offered several homeless folks some warm food, a warm shower in their gymnasium locker rooms, and some clean clothes. it was an eye-opening experience and I had a wonderful time. my kids were all with me and I believe it was good for them to experience as well. sometimes I think our eyes are blinded to other's realities.
I had the privilege of sharing meal time with Danny...what a sweet spirited man...but with lots of needs...he seemed to be in a lot of pain and we were able to discover that his feet were bleeding because his shoes were too small and he walks several miles each day...the soles of his feet were covered with bleeding blisters...the group was able to offer some medical treatment and send some medical ointment and wrapping with him. Luke was sitting with Danny and I...and participated in the conversation. It was an enlightening experience for Luke and I both as we learned that Danny's daughter, Heather goes to Luke's school. I know that many of you reading this met others as well....let's remember to pray for them all.
it was wonderful to have such an opportunity to really offer some others a real HOPE!

get in the game

wow...Thursday was some kind of day for me! it brought back a rush of memories and i found myself to be very emotional. Luke, my 12 year old son, played in his first junior high basketball game at North Garner Middle School. His team won by 23 points. He looked so big when the teams came out for warm-ups. I was so proud of him. It took me back to the day when I played in my first junior high basketball games as a 7th grader. I had to fight back the tears...but I lost that battle when the coach near the end of the first quarter sent Luke from the bench to the scorers table...when the whistle blew for subs to come in and he ran onto the court I'm pretty sure everyone in the gym could see my head about to explode with pride. I LOVE MY SON!
after reflecting on these moments, I think God our Father feels that way about us. we have been called to be participants in our spiritual journey not just spectators or bench-warmers...I've watched Luke work hard every day at practice...sweat, sweat, and sweat some more....run, run, and run some more...he works so hard because he wants to be in the game...not watching from the sidelines. how many of us really want to be in the game? or are we just satisfied with being near the game? I bet our Father's heart reaches explosive levels too when He sees His children work disciplined and determined to be significant players in the game...when He sees us work hard to be holy and to have a distinct influence on our world.

hide & seek

how many have ever played the childhood game of hide & seek? i think we all remember loving to scope out the best hiding places at grandma's house...the places most certain where no one...not even your oldest friend or cousin would find you. i remember always wanting to get to the shed at my great-grandmothers house and find a way to sneak inside the doors of the shed without anyone hearing me open and close the doors...or someone's vehicle always made a great hiding place if you could get in without the "it" hearing you get in. this fun spirited game has made me think a lot this week about the verse Paul wrote to the church in Colosse.
Colossians 3:3... "for you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God..."
so what does that really mean? the old man is gone, the old nature is gone because you died with Christ...so He died for me but also as me...and if you're hidden in Christ it must be pretty difficult for the enemy (and there is definitely an enemy) to find you. if you ever found one of those great hiding places the only way you could ever be found was to expose yourself...to make a noise so someone would hear you...to give some type of clue as where you are...or to actually step out into the open and be found. maybe that is what we do spiritually...we step out of our hiding place in Christ and expose ourselves to the enemy. why would we ever do that...could it be that we get bored with the hiding place? if so, then we don't really know Him!
i guess i'm thinking that if we would take seriously our hiding place in Christ...it would make it much more difficult for the enemy to impact our lives.
how's your hiding going?

CHRISTMAS TRIVIA?

Last week's question: How long after they arrived in Bethlehem was Jesus born?
Correct answer: the Bible does not say

who's the reason for the season?

well the Christmas season has begun...all the shopping, the parties, the decorating...it's all under way now...and if we are not careful we'll run straight through the holidays and ignore the real meaning of the season. the season is known as the advent season...a time, an opportunity to celebrate the Messiah's arrival or coming....think about why he came...
many different places you'll see the words "Jesus is the reason for the season"...and though his arrival is the reason we celebrate during the season, i'd like to suggest that YOU are the reason for the season...YOU are the reason Jesus chose to come...
take some time during this holiday season to celebrate CHRISTmas! enjoy the life that he offers and respond to Him like the shepherds did so many years ago at his birth...respond with awe and amazement and worship Him this season.

first basketball practices

well, it's that time of year for me again...we had our first basketball practices for nate's team, noah's team, and luke's team the past two evenings...
i love this time of year...i'm coaching all three teams and will love every minute of it...i enjoy so much working with the young boys all the way up to luke's age...
really good first practices...i genuinely liked all the boys and think we're going to have lots of fun...
pray for influence and impact on these young boy's lives.
go gators! go seminoles! go sixers!

proud father

so proud of Luke, my 12 year old son today...he has just endured a challenging set of basketball tryouts at North Garner Middle School...he called me this afternoon a little after 2:00 to give me the news...he made the team!
basketball is something that Luke and I love to share together...I have been coaching him and preparing him for competitive basketball now for a number of years...so today is thrilling and rewarding for both him and me...he worked really hard...and now is extremely tired...i've never seen him run so much!
anyway...very proud of my son today!
good luck on a great season! go trojans!

felix, the cat

that was the correct answer to last week's poll!
only one correct voter!

that was then...this is now

I was discussing with some family members this evening at another thanksgiving gathering what it must have been like for the pilgrims in those early days of their adventure. During their journey across the Atlantic Ocean they must have faced many problems and difficulties. They must have had testimony after testimony of how God protected them, provided for them, and led them to safety. It made me think of how often God has provided for, protected, and rescued us.
Psalm 46:1 says "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
The good news to find in this Scripture is that the God of the Pilgrims then is the same God now. He and His promises will never abandon you.
Tell me about a moment in time that God has either provided for, protected, or rescued your family.
Happy Thanksgiving...I mean Happy Thanks-living one more time!

new thanksgiving traditions

tonight upon returning home from family visits I decided to start our own tradition at the Thompson house for Thanksgiving...it was moving and awesome...
I simply printed out a piece of paper for all six of us with two statement on it...
1. this year I am thankful for God because....
2. this year I am thankful for ______ because...
Each person drew another family members name other than their own from one of my hats...we each put that person's name in the blank for the second statement....then everyone took about 30 minutes to write out our thoughts and then had a time of sharing them with each other.
sometimes kids can say the most thoughtful things...I am incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful family...for each of them I am thankful.

thought from a missionary

we had Chris and Angela Nelson and their wonder three boys with us last Sunday night...what an awesome family....pray for them!
a couple of thought provoking statements from Chris:
1. get a dream that is impossible if God doesn't help!
2. we no longer have an identity crisis when our identity is in Christ!

Thanksgiving or Thanks-living

Thanksgiving is always a special day...but today had just a little something extra...not sure what it was...but my thoughts and heart strings were just racing all day with thoughts of thankfulness. It was good to be with my family and just enjoy everyone's company...the turkey bowl was awesome of course...nate's team did win the trophy...but even during the game i found thoughts of thankfulness...for kids that play a silly game of football and not get mad at each other...for a wife that got out there and ran as hard as everyone else...for a dad and a brother who make for a great grandpa and uncle combo...they treat our kids super-special...
It was also very special to have a dear friend, Mrs. Esther Cookman share our Thanksgiving meal with us. Many of you will know the name "Cookman" and know that their family has been special all through my life. Just visiting with her briefly today made me really thankful for the years of friendship and mentorship that I have spent with her sons and their families. The Cookmans are extra-super people and I am thankful to have had them in my life. Noel Cookman and I had a conversation over email a while back and shared some thoughts together. This on-going conversation brought back many thoughts today.
I am truly grateful for the implications of the finished work of the cross. Jesus has done and is doing so much for us...I am overwhelmed at the thought of it.
Here are some questions for your consideration that come from my conversation with my friend Noel.
What happens when...
1. we do not believe we lose fellowship with God when we sin?
2. we do not compare ourselves to others as being at a different level with God than we are?
3. we do not examine ourselves for sin but rather examine ourselves to see "whether we be in the faith"?
4. our maturity is not behavior modification but beholding Him more?
Well, just a few questions to help you think about the implications of the cross of Christ...if we really understood the cross I think thanksgiving would become thanks-living...we would live thankfully everyday.

TURKEY BOWL

Hope you all are getting ready to have a great Thanksgiving day. I'm sure you are ready for a couple of big plates filled with turkey and dressing...probably some cranberry sauce...maybe some yams...and top it off with some pecan or pumpkin pie? Well, I'm getting hungry...so I'll just have to wait until tomorrow.

I'm getting ready for bed...gotta rest up for the big game. Thanksgiving day is always so much fun with my family. After we eat...we head out to the front lawn turned football stadium and engage in our very own annual Turkey Bowl. There's lots of festivities...we have ESPN jams playing on the big boom box as the teams run onto the field...we have the coin toss...we have the national anthem and everything. It is always fun to see whose jersey everyone will wear...my brother and all the kids want to wear a jersey...you might see Brett Favre, Vince Young, Phillip Rivers, some college jerseys....who knows....but one thing is for sure...it will be fun! And the youngest kid on the winning team gets to keep the Thompson Family Turkey Bowl trophy in their bedroom for the whole year! I better get rested up. I think Nate is really wanting that trophy this year.

I trust you and your family will enjoy some wonderful Thanksgiving traditions together. If you don't have one then start one...but most importantly tomorrow let's take some time to be thankful for what Jesus did for us that we might have life and enjoy it to the fullest. Please pause your heart tomorrow and be reminded to be thankful.

Guaranteed Uncertainty

Sorry for the lapse in blog posts...I'm back now.

If there is one thing I'm learning right now...it is this: that my days hold no guarantees except the guarantee of uncertainty. Often we find ourselves encountering difficult circumstances, strained relationships, confusion, and extreme challenges. I know when I wake up each morning I can't plan every detail, but I certainly don't have these challenges typed in my To-Do List in Microsoft Outlook. These encounters are usually unplanned and catch us by surprise. There are thousands of variable that make up our day...and they all add up to one thing: an uncertain outcome. Most days things could go either way...heads or tails...win or lose...live or die.

Oswald Chambers wrote, "To be certain to God means that we are uncertain in all our ways; we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation."

The key is keeping a sense of destiny coupled with the degrees of uncertainty and challenge. We can not fear the uncertain or unknown, but must remember that God is with us!

I definitely believe in planning and goal-setting. But there are just some things in life, in work, in ministry, in relationships...you can't plan or predict. And that drives many of us crazy on the inside. We want control, but the decision to follow Christ is letting Jesus take the wheel. Of course, some of us prefer to act like backseat drivers...or even worse, we act like little children that drive their parents crazy by asking one question over and over...'are we there yet?'

The more I think about this, the more I think that spiritual maturity is less about planning out the future and is more about a moment-by-moment sensitivity to the Spirit of God. I think we simply like to be in control of our futures and desperately want certainty. But faith involves a loss of control...and with a loss of control comes a loss of certainty. Faith is the willingness and readiness to embrace guaranteed uncertainty.

Enjoy the adventure!

learning and unlearning

thanks men...what a great and challenging discussion at our novel tonic men's breakfast this morning...i think we really did have a refreshing drink this morning....
well...for the rest of you we men talked about chasing lions...and one of the topics that came up was learning and unlearning...and then the rest of the day i have thought much about those two things....here are some of my thoughts....
half of learning is learning...the other half is unlearning...unfortunately i believe unlearning is twice as hard as learning...it is sort of like a computer virus on a hard drive, our minds can become infected with bad files...fears, misconceptions, and stubborn attitudes keep us from operating to our full potential...if these bad files aren't uninstalled, the undermine everything we do...
even Jesus had the purpose of empowering those who listened to him to unlearn...he said...
"you have heard it said...love your neighbor and hate your enemy...but i tell you...love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...
let's ask the Lord to help us uninstall all the negative, religious, traditional and irrelevant files that may infect us....
help me Lord!

can you think of things that you need to unlearn?

the E word

everybody knows the E word..."evangelism"...does that word stir up the same images for you as it does for me? Christains who participate in evangelism have an image problem...the impressions we make certainly create perceptions for those who are watching and listening...then their perceptions become their reality...what if the world's perceptions are right?
is there a better way to lead people to Christ...to lead them to a life altering decision...to help them establish a new world view and have God as a part of it? when is the last time you led someone to Christ? how did you do it?

conclusion to what makes music meaningful?

well a few more people responded this week to our poll question...and the majority of you voters responded that freedom and experience is what makes music meaningful to you...it is good to see that the selections give indication of your participation....i think all the choices from songs to the leader to the style...to freedom and experience all work together to make music such and emotional and meaningful part of church...
since most of us love music in some fashion...praise God that we get to worship Him that way...with music!
if freedom is important to many of you...remember where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom...so in our music element the Spirit of the Lord must be welcomed and allowed to flow...
keep enjoying the worship journey!

for the joy set before...

wow! what a long day today! and when it was over i got to take my little boy noah to the urgent care...he had fallen outside playing baseball and had a bad cut on his left knee...of course when i arrived home noah was in tears and everybody was trying to give their explanation of what had happened....that can get a little crazy....
while at the urgent care i observed the doctor work on noah's knee...no stitches needed just some sterile strips...but while she cleaned the wound noah wrenched in pain from the burning sensation....when the doctor had finished the cleaning all noah wanted to know was would he be ready for his basketball tryouts this saturday...as i listened to him i realized that the pain was bearable as long as he could still consider the joy of saturday basketball tryouts....
and then i thought of Jesus...who for the joy set before him endured the cross!
i wonder if we thought more about the joy that awaits us how much more we could endure?

when people look at us, do they see Christ?

i read an article earlier today that posed the question...when people look at us, do they see Jesus? i began to wonder about my answer...really what do they see when they look at me? what did the folks from Jesus' culture see when they looked at him? did they see someone relevant to their culture? did he dress like them? did he talk like them? did he speak their language? did he spend time in their comfort arenas? did he allow himself to be inconvenienced?
so...when people look at us....do they see compassion? hope? strength? joy? peace? ... or do they see judgement? condemnation? apathy? indifference?
i once heard another pastor say...we are God's display window to the world...the world all around is window shopping...when they look in our window what do they see?
think about it!

music is the element of choice!

well, our very first poll question has closed...and we find out from our blog readers that music is the #1 element of choice when making a decision about a church.
what does that tell us? well, music is the big area of church where emotion and experience are created...this tells me that most people are wanting their emotions to be stirred and they want to have an experience not just be a spectator...
sounds like we really need to put some thought and creative effort into our music element at adventure life church...sounds like a lot of fun to me...i love music!
please give any thoughts you have on how we can make the music element really stand out and become distinguished from what everyone else is doing...thanks.

potential to be Christ followers

well...i have been out of town and been unable to post for a few days...but i have really wanted to write about this....
i'm reading again...the book is called unChristian...the book is about the world's perspective on the church...one 25 year old young man said that he felt Christians talk about hating sinand loving sinners, but the way the go about things, they might as well call it what it is...they hate the sin and the sinner...so the running theme in the book is that the world see that Christians are prideful and quick to find faults in others....when what we should want them to see is that Christians show grace by finding good in others and seeing their potential to be Christ followers.
i heard another story about a young lady who went to a church small group Bible study...she went in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of this Jesus thing...the group of young women were discussing sex, intimacy, and pregnancy...the new young woman brought up the life situation of one of her friends who had been abused...she is now pregnant and considering having an abortion...the conversation then turned defensive with all the ladies trying to convince her abortion was wrong...all she was searching for was some empathy for her friend's situation....what the group did not know is that the new young lady had an abortion herself earlier in her life...she quickly felt on the outside...and the potential she felt she had to follow Christ had just diminished.
the point to recognize is that we never know the full life story of those we are talking to...we really need to focus on talking to versus talking at....we need to recognize everyday the potential in others to become Christ followers.
the people we meet everyday and those we already know live very complex lives...God is wise enough to handle the complexity and demonstrate his love....we should be as well....we should focus on showing compassion especially when we believe so strongly about something....
looking for the potential in others to become Christ followers!

have you prayed about it?

i have been challenged three different times this morning while reading different things by this simple question: "have you prayed about it?"
what should i do with the rest of my life? how am i going to pay the bills this month? what do i do about all the tension i feel at work? how do i get my spouse to help out more at home? why won't God help me in the situation? why can't i convince my teenager that he needs to follow Jesus? why are so many bad things happening? all good and valid questions....my response this morning is this simple question right back at you....
"have you prayed about it?"
i am convinced if we would just take a little more time to talk to God about these life-altering questions and then listen to him ... it would be a better way to live!

"called out" of convenience

we had a tremendous night last night at adventure life church. our super celebration went extremely well. there was a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air...and as i often talk about...i think those who were new to our gathering detected life! special thanks to all you adventure lifers that put forth incredible effort...you're the best!

and what did we talk about...the church...the "called-out" ones...called out of what?...called out of convenience, comfort, and consumption! we discussed how inconvenient it must of been for peter and john to stop on the way to church in acts 3 to engage the lame beggar who was simply trying to survive to beg again another day....stepping into the inconvenient peter offered the beggar way more that he anticipated. wow! if only the church would begin to give the world more than they anticipate.

today...tessa can back from her lunch break and told me about a young man standing in the median at hwy70 and white oak rd....he was holding a sign that read: "why lie...i need a drink"... i had to go and see...i had to go down past the intersection and u-turn back to see his sign...tessa read the words accurately...i had to challenge the convenience of my schedule and respond to such a sign...i pulled up on the curb and quickly got his attention...amazing how when you somehow say "look at me" they will look with anticipation...he came right up to my truck window and i engaged him with direct conversation...i asked if really needed a drink or if he needed something more...i told him immediately my desire was to help him with whatever he really needed...he ended up in my truck and i took him down to chick-fil-a and bought him a meal and continued our conversation...i discovered his name to be Aaron...he is a true road warrior...travelled through many states always searching for purpose and meaning in life to no avail...we determined that the one person who could help him was his father in florida...we called his father on my cell phone and they talked...his father wired money to the bus station in downtown raleigh...enough for him to travel to florida to meet him...i had the privilege of praying for aaron and then dropped him off at the bus stop with great hope for his future...i think aaron got way more than he anticipated...

pray for aaron!

big day!

well...here it is...the day adventure life church really goes public! i'm so excited i can barely contain myself today. this morning i decided to get up early and go to another local church for a time of refreshing and encouragement personally. i chose to attend the sunday morning service at garner christian fellowship....wow...it was a great choice. i like to give a shout out to honor pastor john cavari...what perspective...and what a friend! he actually called angela and i up at the end of their service to have his people pray with us and for us on our big day. we did not anticipate that...but wow! it was special....as they prayed for us several people actually had prophetic insight and word pictures for us. i just had the sense that God really wanted to remind me that He is totally, 100% involved in what we are beginning to do at adventure life church. One of the prophetic images that stood out to me gives confirmation and credence to our vision. The image was a lost deer panting, desperately thirsty for water...the deer continues aggressively until it finds satisfying water...the word declared that adventure life church would be an oasis that will satisfy those who are desperately thirsty! sound familiar?
thank you Lord....for this awesome day in the life of adventure life church!

hard work!

today was a day filled with effort from a lot of great people! we took time this morning to fill door hanger bags with popcorn, movie invitations, and info about adventure life church. we gave out over 300 bags and finally finished in the mid afternoon. we encountered some challenges during the early part of the morning but continued to stay the course. i am reminded that anything that has eventual reward usually requires some labor through discouragement and frustration along the way. i am thanking God for such great people that have surrounded angela and i here at adventure life church. you all are a tremendous blessing to our family.
tomorrow is a big day for us...our first big public event at adventure life church since we planted the church back in late May 2007. if you're reading this blog today please pray that God would show up and make himself BIG in our celebration! thanks for all your prayers.
i'll post a report on how things go tomorrow night following our gathering!
reminder: dream BIG and stay the course!

things to learn and unlearn

well...doing some reading earlier today and came across this list...thought you might enjoy it as well...it is from Rick Warren....
need to learn humility. need to unlearn our consumer approach to spirituality. need to learn a new approach to mission. need to unlearn our dependence on specialized ministries. need to learn to go and serve. need to unlearn our method of goal-setting. need to learn that the so-called average Christian can do ministry. need to unlearn our desire to pray...our instinctive reflex toward a problem is to throw money at it vs praying. need to learn to trust the people we serve.
interesting thoughts for me as I continue to ponder new ways of doing ministry...
your thoughts?

here's some thoughts....i was thinking early this afternoon about how we communicate the message of the gospel to people...and began to realize that most people do not live (as I have in the past) church-centric lives. they don't spend major amounts of their mental energies on church matters. they live 95+% of their week in non-church related situations. so knowing this should change our message how? give me your thoughts!

other questions to help stir your brain a little....
where was Jesus' pulpit?
where did Jesus give his messages?
can the message itself actually change what is in someone's life?

i'm sitting up late tonight watching the Yankees try to come back against the Indians...
not sure it is going to happen for them! really glad though that in Christ we don't ever have to dread the comeback...we are privileged to enjoy the journey filled with outrageous joy!
speaking of joy....the Yankees are down to 2 outs in the 9th...i don't like the Yankees very much, can you tell? whew! Posada almost hit a homerun...just foul! well, i'm getting a little anxious watching the game....whew! struck him out!
good nite now!

hello everyone! the blog is up and running! adventure life church's blog in on go!
send your comments....ask your questions....we'll do our best to respond!
