Okay so did you hear the one about the guy with no hair? I now notice all the hair commercials that are on TV. I didn't before, which tells you it did not matter then, but now I notice. Speaking of hair the whole family is getting a new "doo". In fact the next time you see Christa you may not recognize her. I love it. We all need a change from time to time. Summer is upon us and its time to get ready for the warm and humid weather. A little trim a little off the length, or maybe a good ole take it to the scalp cut. It's funny how we all care for our hair.
Well the finales are happening with all the fave shows. Collectively as a staff we all agree that Heroes was the best. We got so inspired that we are going to do a message series about heroes in the fall. 24 was well, hmmm, kinda, sorta, anti climactic, maybe boring. Christa I both fell asleep in the final moments of the finale. Kinda tells you something doesn't it.
The Lost finale is Wednesday and let's hope that we get at least a few questions answered. This is the one that I have been waiting for, a showdown between good and evil, or so it seems.
I hope you all have a wonderful memorial day. Hope to see you on a Sunday soon. Take the family for some ice cream and talk about summer plans and all sorts of summer activities.
As for me, I am not worried about hair for the summer. I love that I don't need hair care products, let's me save money for ice cream at Maggie Moos, or Carl's, or Chik Fil A shakes, or Bruster's. Yes I love this season, lots of things to enjoy. Hope you do to.

Pictures
Hello all
I recently changed the picture that I had on this blog. I was told that I had a cheesy grin, and a stupid look. I got to wondering when is the last picture that I took that was good.? The older we get the more difficult that it becomes to be comfortable with our picture. At least it does for me. I don't really care all that much at how I look, but when I do I am rarely satisfied.
Now try taking the group picture or the family picture. That can be really tough. So I have put a new picture of my intramural football team in Bible college up. You can see me in the middle. Yes I had a full head of hair. Seems like yesterday that I owned a brush. We won the game.
I am really thinking about how much has changed and where all God has brought me. It is safe to say that our faith walk is a "Journey". Pictures tell a story and capture moments all along the journey. So make sure that you take plenty of pictures along yours. Who knows we may look back and thank God for what we did have in the past or even what we experienced, both good and bad. It did shape us.
Keep on keeping on everyone. Their is joy in the journey. Look for it. Take pictures and preserve it. We can all go forward with confidence as we preserve our past. The past is our history, learn from it, grow from it, evolve.
Hope to see you soon. New series begins this week on Spent - How will you invest your life?

TV cool or what or not
Hello
Wow, I love Heroes on NBC. It one of the coolest show ever. I am a nerd for saying cool? What is the lingo now for the word cool? TV has sure changed and for the better, I guess? I am not a big fan of the reality shows. However, I do love the Amazing Race, and would love to apply for that on or Survivor. However, there are some weird ones out there, I'm sure you not what I refer to. So here comes the big finale for Lost, 24, Heroes - and hopefully some answers to make us all say "wow".
I did let you all know that some of us went to Spider man 3 last Friday at 12:00am. I fell asleep in my seat while waiting as we were two hours early for the showing. Almost everyone had the Nintendo DS out. I even hear the college guys, and high schoolers talking about Pokemon. What? That is what my son watched when he was in elementary school. Wow, how time has changed.
Anyway, 3 was okay. My thoughts are that the action is great, and FX are great, but the character development lacked. Hey go see it, give them cause to make another one that will be more satisfying. The big laugh, and the big applause of the night, the preview for Shrek 3.
As I type I can see that summer is upon us. Here comes the humidity - thank God for the guy the invented AC - and summer movies. Pirates, Shrek, FF -Silver Surfer, and maybe my fave - the Bourne movie.
See you soon.

Soil and Seed = yield
I am not a gardener. I don't pretend to be one. I don't aspire to be one. I hate yard work. However, I did grown up in Oklahoma and have been to a farm or to. I know this one thing. Prepare soil, plant seed, pull weed, water and over time you get something a harvest.
I am on a journey with Christ. Some of the seeds that have been planted in me are ready to bloom into harvest. Some seed didn't make it where it should and it has died. Some seed found its way, but the soil wasn't cared for and it didn't make it either.
I guess you could say that the more I care for the soil, and the more selective of seed, the greater the payoff in the future. We reap what we sow. So what should we sow? What should I so? What should you so?
So time to get real from those New Years resolutions and follow through with some action. I did make a resolution and I did plant a work out seed and a better eating seed. Giving some care to those seeds - I might still make a healthy summer harvest.
PS - Me, Pastor Jim and Andy, and a few others are going to the midnight show of Spider man 3 on Thursday night/Fri morning. So seeing as we live on the east coast, we should be the first batch of folks to see it. Ha - can't wait to brag on Friday.
