Well, it has been a while since I have last posted.  I have been on vacation in Hawaii for a good part of that break.  That place is awesome. I am going to be posting my “Best of Hawaii” List later on next week!!  Good to be back int he swing of things, even though I still have not recovered from the jet-lag from the flight!  I need sleep!!! Well, I have to get back to the work that I need to catch up on…Peace!

I can’t even imagine what the family is going through at this moment.  Tragic accident…Pray for them!!!

I am going on vacation next week and I will have to miss an ordination service that we will be having at NewSpring next week for some of our staff members.  With that in mind, I made an intentional effort to sit down with the guys who are getting ordained and read some scripture and pray over them.  I used this time to encourage them, but also challenge them with the gravity of what they are being privileged enough to go through.  I wanted them to feel blessed, encouraged, humble, and thankful all at the same time…which is a weird to describe and explain!

With that said, there is something powerful when you read scripture and pray over someone.  I think that God knew what he was doing when he planned it out.  I will be sharing some of the thoughts that I shared with the guys, as soon as I can meet with one more.


Seriously, someone wants to do this???
