San Antone....
I love that city.... I know it's all engineered but it is just so
pretty. I have been to the Alamo a jillion times, and I still just
want to stop and read every little thing and soak it all in.... and
go to the Riverwalk and ride the boat and just be there...
We went to SA for our honeymoon, and our first anniversary, and a
couple more times for vacation. And then Richy had seen it all.
Oh, but I love it.
Friday night the band set up in an open style revival tent. Leah and
I went to the hotel with the small fry and relaxed and then came back
for the service. I don't know--- maybe 150 people?? The first night
was different, because there was a core group of like 10 people that
were really locked in and worshipping and such, and the rest just
watched. It was good, though. For dinner, the church ladies made
lasagna... we used to get pizza 5 times out of 10, now it's lasagna.
But it's tasty and it feeds a lot of people etc etc.
Saturday night I liked better. We had Mexican food. Just kidding,
about the service. I think there were more people there, and
definitely more people engaged in what was happening. Lots of
dancing... and really great spontaneous worship and intercession from
the band. I hope we get the video. And then Mexican food...
mmmmmmmmmm (oh, Richy preached both nights but Leah and I and the
squirts were off to the nursery)
Sunday marnin we made like heathens and went to the Riverwalk with
the Radiants. We walked and walked... saw the nickel tour of the
Alamo (Richy's speeding bullet version) and then walked some more.
Funny story here... Leah's daughter Anila is almost 3.
Nini is scared of the big animatronic gorillas at the Rainforest
Cafe. So we walked past and she got scared and started saying she
didn't want to go in there, didn't want to see the monkeys and so
forth. Leah was reassuring her that they were the only monkeys. Nini
is anxiously scanning all the trees overhead, looking for monkeys.
Finally, we convince her that there are NO more monkeys. Only in that
restaraunt waaaayyy back there and we are safe. Then a man in a
gorilla suit walks by. L O L
But Leah was able to convince her pretty quickly that that was a
silly man in a monkey costume and soon Nini was yukking it up with
the rest of us.
Lunch on the Riverwalk with the Radiants... fun memory to have.
And then more ministry Sunday night. But I'm tired of typing. I'll
tell you about it later or tomorrow.

This week :
"North Korean Freedom Week."
to appeal to the world to free all abductees held in North Korea. calling attention to the plight of Christians in North Korea.
There will be an all-night prayer vigil for North Korean refugees, jailed humanitarian workers and repatriated North Koreans.
On the 29th there will be prayer vigils in Houston.
In a statement promoting North Korea Freedom Week, Charles W. Colson said, "Living here in the United States, it is hard for us to imagine that up to 200,000 people, including thousands of children, are held in the horrid political prison camps of North Korea. The religious and political oppression in North Korea is unimaginably brutal."
Pray Jesus will comfort the suffering believers with His loving presence and light of Christ will shine brightly to overpower the spiritual darkness in North Korea.
Letters of encouragement may be sent to him at www.prisoneralert.com

Oaktree.org was founded to bring together people who have a passion for God, from all over the world. Brady Stump, who founded the site, explained how it came about. "I was searching for an online community where I could grow my faith by interacting with other Christians in a social networking kind of way. Unfortunately there was nothing out there for Christians that completely filled this gap, so a few of us in town simply created one for ourselves!"
Stump says the mission of Oaktree.org is not just to connect people, but to "make a positive difference in the lives of all who come into contact" with it.
Similar to the popular MySpace.com, the new Oaktree website allows the user to create their own page with personal profiles and images. In addition the site features the ability to send e-cards and post prayer requests.

the only time I've been to san antonio was when I was about 10 or 11. My family went for vacation...it was pretty fun. Don't remember a WHOLE lot. We went to the market and to sea world and to Natural Bridge Caverns. Now that was cool, but other than that, I only remember seeing the alamo dome and thinking it was hugemongous!

Coping with Sleep Deprivation
ACCORDING TO THE POLL: Only 20% of adolescents report that they get an optimal nine hours of sleep on school nights
this plus lack of H2O and junk food make a teacher's job more difficult
Many teachers who witness an adolescent falling asleep in class, arriving late to school or underperforming each semester may blame it on the adolescent’s "laziness", boredom or apathy towards school.
Yet results of NSF’s 2006 Sleep in America poll indicate that lack of sleep or poor sleep quality may be a reason for such problems.

Here is some big news for all the Monopoly lovers out there:
Monopoly rolls dice, changes look
Monopoly, invented in 1935, is getting with the times.
The game's updated Here and Now edition, which is due out this fall, will replace Atlantic City landmarks with legendary streets, neighborhoods and national monuments.
Until May 12, fans can vote on www.monopoly.com for their favorite landmarks from 22 cities — including New York's Times Square, Chicago's Wrigley Field, Honolulu's Waikiki Beach, Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
Additionally, the votes will determine where each landmark will appear on the game board, the city with the most votes landing on the coveted Boardwalk spot.
"We encourage Monopoly fans to help create the look of our new game board by voting often at our website for their favorite landmarks," Matt Collins, Vice President of Marketing for Hasbro, said in a statement. "Your vote could be the difference needed to land your favorite American city on a blue property space."
Among other changes, the railroads will be replaced by New York's JFK airport, Chicago's O'Hare, Los Angeles' LAX and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson.
Property values will rise, money will be in higher denominations and "Community Chest" and "Chance" cards will reflect more modern scenarios.
But, the original version will still be available for sentimental fans of the game.

Jess- What I meant by “He doesn't get his fatness from his dad” is simple he doesn't get his fatness from his dad. As in, he must get it from somewhere else. Who’s saying where, not me. Sounds like you may have an idea to share with us.
Yeah, I voted last night. Looks like Times Square and the White House will probably get the blue spots.
Keith is doing awesome. He has now slept “through the night” twice. By the time he fell asleep, it was about 12:30 – 5:30 the first night, then 12:00 – 6:00 last night. Ahh, so nice to fell more rested. GO KEITH!
Have a good day also!
