I am preaching a sermon from Genesis 3:15 and would like to know if any of you have preached a sermon from this text before. If so, give me some thoughts or email me your sermon! I want this to be a tight sermon because we are having so many lost people and new Christians attending that need to know what is taught in this passage. Thanks for your help!

Whoop!

I love it! A&M beat t.u.!!! What more could a guy want? Not only that, but after the game I put up the Christmas decorations (lights, outside Christmas card, etc.). Wow, what a day. I love this time of year!

Texas A&M - 28
t.u. - 24

Yes, that's right. Texas A&M will defeat texas university on Friday. What a glorious day that will be! If you are around Henderson, come on over and join the guys from church as we watch the big game. Gig'em Aggies!

Happy Thanks Living!

Yes, I know it's cheesy, but that is the current series I am preaching on Sunday morning. This coming Sunday will be the last Thanksgiving sermon (hey, there were only 4!). I pray that all of you have a great Thanksgiving and please, please, please, remember to thank God for His many blessings. And maybe you ought to take time and read Psalm 105 just to refresh on how to do this. Once again, happy thanks living!

Well, we took the kids to see Happy Feet. It was okay, but not an out of this world film to me (watch Hoodwinked for that!). I do have one question though. Have any of you noticed how the kids' movies are including more and more sexual references, etc. I understand that most of the small children do not understand it and that mainly adults "get it." But why must it be included in the first place. Happy Feet had way too many sexual innuendos. I now know why it was rated PG. I guess that should have been my first clue. What happened to the good, rated G movies? (not the rated G movies that should be rated PG either!) I don't want to sound old-fashioned, etc., but it just concerns me as a parent. Besides it's my blog and I can type if I want to! (sorry for the bad Cindi Lauper joke.)

Well, that was one interesting state meeting. There was a great time of fellowship and discussion. However, sometimes, the tension was felt when certain issues arose. But, I'll say this, at least there was no yelling and shouting (kind of boring huh). Sometimes I wish we could have a meeting like the British House of Commons. Really, all I want to do is yell "Aye! Aye! Aye!" Well, let me know what you think about the meeting.

Whew. I finally made the transition to Beta Blogger! I thought I'd never be able to get everything straight. I love computers and I love to be on the Beta end of things, but sometimes it does make you sweat. But at least I'm up-to-date! Now I've got to go Beta on my email! Yikes!

What are the odds?

I can't believe it. For the second week in a row, Texas A&M was outscored by 1 point. And both games were on ABC! We gave the game away...how sad. But I can't complain too much because my wife and kids gave me a great birthday present. They took me to the A&M-Nebraska at Kyle Field. Whoop! It was so much fun to go back to my old school and see all the new stuff going on and show the kids where daddy went to school. We toured the campus, went to the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library, ate great food, and visited with one of my old roommates (and yes Greg, you are old!). Overall, the best part of the entire 3 days was watching my children's eyes light up when the jet planes (warthogs) flew over, the corps marched in, the football team took the field, the band marched, and 87,000 crazy fans yell like you've never heard. They were so excited about the game, etc. that they started crying when we had to leave. I know this is "mushy" and all, but it really made me a proud daddy. It may mean nothing to you, but when my children love their dad and his old school like they do, it brings tears to my eyes. I'm sure you can make a good correlation to how we should act towards God, but I won't do it because I'll start preaching if I do. Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Jen and the kids for such a great weekend and Gig'em Aggies!

What Time Is It?

Okay, wait a second. It just turned November 1, but I'm already through Thanksgiving on my school calendar. What is going on? Well, with the state association meeting and then the week of Thanksgiving, half of November has "disappeared." (Not that it's all bad, mind you!) But what is even worse is that on Halloween I turned 32. When did I get to be 32? Wasn't I just 22 yesterday? You mean I've almost been married 10 years? Savannah is 7? Levi will be 5 in a week? Jason Sheffstall's son is 3? Well, why don't you just call me Rip Van Winkle! My how time flies.

But you know, that should make us realize that time is short and before we know it *poof* - we're gone. We should make most of our time and make full use of the tools God has given us to reach others around us for Christ. Time is short. The Bible teaches that very principle...so maybe we should start acting as if we believe it.

Besides, by the time I get around to writing another post, I'll probably be 42. Oh well...
