Ok, I need your help. My wife and I have a little wager going on here. We decided to have a little friendly contest on who would make the better pumpkin. So, we both got a pumpkin and our carving tools to see who could do a better job. The pictures are below and I won’t tell you who made which one until the voting is closed. They are shown in alphabetical order.

Please vote to settle this!
Which pumpkin do you like better? …

Emily is now 49″ tall and therefore can ride almost every adult roller coaster at Six Flags. In fact, to our surprise, when we stood in line for Titan (the largest ride every built by Six Flags), even Nathan (youngest child) qualified in height. So, we wait in a very short line only to find out that we would wait for another 15 mins for them to clean up some throw-up from the previous run. Nasty! And it happened to be the row that we were …

Today, I preach the first part of a sermon series called “Global.” In talking about God’s global heart for all the nations, I told an illustration of something that happened this week:
On Friday night, as our family was watching the Beijing Olympic opening ceremonies, I was reminded of God’s global heart. Besides the fact that it was one of the most incredible display of technology and humanity that I have seen in my lifetime, the kids and I were looking forward to seeing the different countries enter the …

I have always been a great fan of Steven Curtis Chapman, mainly for his music. But, I knew there was always something amazing about this man that I saw when I went to his concerts and saw him in interviews. He definitely was someone who I wanted to model my life after. He always seemed like a great husband and incredible father. Maybe that’s why my heart went out to him and his family so much when they lost their youngest daughter, Maria, about 2 months …

Just got back from a week long vacation in the Northwest (Seattle/Portland). In some ways, it felt like a month, and in other ways, it felt like a couple of days. I’ve never done so much on a vacation:
- visited two national parks (north cascades and mt. rainier)
- walk on many nature trails and saw many foxes, deers and chipmunks
- touched snow at top of mountain
- touched the beach on the pacific ocean
- picked shelfish, mussels, and clams and touched starfish and sea cucumbers
- camping on the pacific …

We got an email for Kailey’s teacher about a project:
Monday we are going to begin learning about simple machines. What I need from you is to help your child make a catapult for a large marshmallow launching competition. This is due May 30th. On that day we will hold our competition on the black top behind the school. I’ll let you know what time we decide later. It’s fun to watch so I hope you can come! You can search on the internet for ideas on your catapult. I went …

We’re in the middle of a sermon series called “Influence” and it’s a series about being the salt and light. Each week, in the bulletin, everyone receives a different bookmark (2-3 different bookmarks for each week that people get randomly) with a bio of a person who have influenced the world for Christ. At the top of the bookmark is a black/white pic of the person of influence and below is a brief bio and how they made a difference. …
