FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Tonight, as I was putting Jackson down to sleep, I left the TV on Jurassic Park and told Josiah it was about Dinosaurs! Probably 10 minutes later he came in the room and said, “Dad this is boring, it’s just people running from a big Dinosaur! Can I watch Sponge Bob?”
On our very first date Stephanie and I took a picture together in my Toyota pickup as we headed off to Andy’s frozen Custard and a movie. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Last night we started the night off the same way. We got in the Cherokee and took a picture as we headed off to dinner and a movie!
We ended up eating at the Down Under Pub. I was really hoping to have some alligator tail, but they didn’t have it. So here is what we ordered.
I got the Combo Basket. Tender whitefish fillets, jumbo shrimp and chicken fingers batter fried. Served with Aussie fries and coleslaw. Very good Shrimp and fries!!!
Stephanie got the Angel Hair with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil. Fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic lightly sautéed finished with white wine and topped with fresh Parmesan cheese. It was nice!
After Dinner we went to see “Get Smart”!
Great movie made us laugh the whole time. A movie worth going to see! I believe it is rated PG-13. I didn’t notice a lot of bad language in it. The movie was fast paced for the mos part and held you attention throughout.
After the Movie, we went to Starbucks for some Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccino® blended coffee with Chocolate Whipped Cream. We had a lot of fun together, without the kids. We will definitely do it again soon!!!
“Jesus answered them, ‘Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.’” v. 31-32 (NLT)
Jesus didn’t come to make religious people more religious. He came to seek out those who were lost, trapped in sin, hurting, and needing a Savior. Sadly, this description would classify many of the religious leaders of His day and ours. But the difference Jesus looked at was the heart. Throughout Scripture, the people impacted by Christ the most realized a couple of things.
The best place to be is at the place where you realize you can’t do it on your own. It’s in this place that Jesus is able to work and restore. Today will you just give all your cares to Him. Will you trust Him with the details of your life. We you let Him be your Rescuer, your Savior, your Lord?

I saw this on my friend Nicks Blog. I was at the YS conference when they showed this for the first time remembering Mike just after he died! Great reminder as to why we work with teenagers.
I am so excited, my wife and I get to go on a date night tonight! One of our students has volunteered to watch our two boys. This will be the first time that we will be able to go out and not worry to much about Jackson. Now we have to decide what we are going to do! Maybe Dinner and a Movie! Kinda old school, but its good to go back to the basics every once in a while!
“Jesus reached out and touched him. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be healed!’ And instantly the leprosy disappeared.” v.13
Jesus has the power to completely heal and restore. This leaper was not afraid to ask Jesus for help, but he also believed that Jesus could help him. Whatever you are dealing with, yesterday, today, or tomorrow, take it to Jesus, he can and will help when you ask and believe. Give it a try, and see if Jesus doesn’t make a difference!
These guys put a train horn in their car! Check out the video. SOOOOO FUNNY!!

While I was away at Camp, (awesome week with God and Students at Wild Week), Stephanie and the boys, as well as Nana and Papa, her mom and dad, had pictures taken. In my office I have a new picture of Stephanie and the boys given as a Fathers Day present! I love my family!
Last night we hosted our first Street Bowl. 3 teams competed in a double elimination 5 on 5 flag football tournament. Each team consisted of 4 guys and 1 girl. Here are three pics of the champions!
