Cold Hot Contrast

Cold and Hot Contrast and a little date pudding
Whata-greatday!I don't know about you, but nothing beats a cold contrast of rich chocolate organic brownies with chocolate ganash, and organic frozen cookies and cream yogurt made by Super Moma, shared with my twin bro! Did I mentioned something called "date pudding"...oh yea, that was in the mix as well my friend! Carmely, nutting, date pudding!!!

Early Out of the Blocks
I was blessed by God the Father to wake up to His voice at 3:00am...pray over my beautiful wife, daughter, and son...train people in fitness from 545am to 1030am; study the book of Exodus while my bro was studying for the MCAT and my mom was painting her bathroom! Got to see dad earlier and he shared his cop stories...always a hoot!

Rock and Role Express Time
Got home, held my boy and played around with him while he blew bubbles...watched the Smurfs with my daughter in her purple chair...ate mint dark chocolate...70% cocoa!

Meditate Day and Night on God's Word
Gonna pray and bible study some more later...my daughter is messing with my feet right now as I write this! Can't wait for the prettiest and funnest woman alive to get home!
Whata-greatday!

Live because we will die
Hey listen, in response to such a great day, let me leave you with one final thought: Andy Stanley asked the question in Part 9 of his Defining Moments sermon series, "How would we live differntely if we believed each day would be our last?" Whether you believe in absolute truth or not, there is an absolute truth that no one can deny. It is this: we are all going to die. How would you have lived differently if today was your last? Would you have taken time to laugh more, pray more, invest in family more? Would you have made chocolate chip cookies and put frozen yogurt in between them? I would have! Think about this truth as you set your alarm for tomorrow morning, God willing, we have one... How will you live tomorrow?

Let that truth be the context for how you live your life...in how you make your decisions...in how you pray and spend time/money, laugh, have conversation with family, seek the lost, etc...

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Journal:

Grace Not Guilt!

I have been Praying for God to show me what He wants to do within me so He can Bless what is around me and for me to be an instrument for Him to work through and Man, does He answer BIG time!

His Answers so far....1. Start Risking, 2. Stop Hiding, 3. Receive His Grace

He has led me to amazing discussions with Jeff, Books Like Lion Chaser, Matthew 25...I have been blogging like crazy and BAM! Jeff's blogs about "Where are you?" and Where are you? Part II have punched me in the core! Not a coincidence either! God's timing is AMAZING!

Here is a post on my thoughts inspire from Jeff's "Where are you?" series and how he led me to study risk from Matthew 25...

Close To Comfort, Far From God?
Time To Invest:Nothing To Lose, Everything To Gain

Grace Not Guilt
Major Devo time with TheJeff today! All of this "Take Risks," "Stop Hiding," "Receive Grace," stirring of The Holy Spirit really hit an exclamation point today when Jeff told me how to receive "Grace Not Guilt!" What a "3 AM" statement and a statement I will remember for Eternity! Holy Spirit speaking through you Jeffrey! Praise God For You BroTwin! BrewBro! Whoo!

It comes down to this: when past sins creep up in your mind, satan, being the loser accuser that he is, tries to make you feel so guilty and so worthless by making you think about them and remember them... But the Law Of Perspective says to change your thinking...Instead of focusing on your past sins and drowning in guilt, let them be a reminder of God's Amazing Grace, Motivating you to receive His Grace and to live for Him now and forevermore with Dangerously Faithful Reckless Abandon!

Track, Studies, RDB!
Blessed Day indeed! The Beast and I ran an open 800m in 2 mins 37 sec and and 2 mins 25 sec respectively, absolutely amazing when we were shooting for a 2 min 50 secs! We are going to set a Tuesday series of 800's and shoot for a goal of an open 800m in 2.00 mins! God-Willing, it will happen! Amen!
Sermon Prep and Studies, knocking it out! Jeff preparing for His "Deeper" Sermon that is going to rock the house! Lord speak through Jeffrey that all who see and hear him, see and hear You, may all be saved!

RDB MSG style! Got to love the foam! Great Pouring today Jeffrey, as usual! Harooh!

KG and Mathias
Finished up the day with work and studies, ordered some vitamin D3, had sweet tater, chicken, and lima beans compliments of CC....then, played with KG, Prayed over her while she slept, and hung out with TheFam when Jeff came over to pick up his wonderful daughter! Praise God!

Viewed Video of KG eating Bananas with Whit and Jeff! Absolutely Amazing! Going to put the clips in KG's Birthday Video! Dude, it is going to Rock! KG is so Beautiful, I had to post 4 still frames from the video to her awesome blog...Bananas KG Style!

Read 2 letters from Mathias...Blows my mind how we can be connected! Praise God for technology and mail! The dude just turned 4 on June 21...sent him $ for a birthday present and he was able to buy a synthetic fleece jacket with it...his tutor said it was an amazing blessing...he drew me two pictures and sent me an updated photo of himself! I must scan it in a post it soon!...He wants to know Mom and Dad's name so he can Pray for them...uh....can you say "MasterCard Moment!" Thank you God for Mathias (and Jefferson) and their Families Lord, Save them, use them, stir their souls to live for you and change Peru! To You Be The Glory!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 journal:

Thankful: Grace not guilt, KG's smile and the sound of her voice; for "Kate Kong!" CC's Multi-Tasking, Taser's ability to put food on our table! For the health and camaraderie of family!

Joyful: For having the Blessed opportunity to be an answer to one of Jeffs' LC goals of seeing someone experience Salvation in a new way! I owe you BIG Time Jeffrey! Joyful that Mathias has a new fleece jacket and for his updated photograph!

Prayerful: For our family to know of God's Grace, for KG and her upcoming Birthday, for Mathias, Jefferson and their Families. For Team Copperhill, that The Word of God would spread rapidly and be honored and a whole 2 Thess 3 Prayer for them! Mom and Whit's Appt, Phil's Recovery, Dad's business deals, Bryan's travels to SC next week, Jeff's Preaching and Writing, all of our travels, my mcat acing (Slinging My Stone, Time To Scrub In!)

Goo'day mate!

Ideas and Inspiration!

Blessed Are You Lord Our God Who Brings Forth Bread From Heaven!

Just got done eating a Fruit Meal created by CC...Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas, Cantaloupe, Honey Dew, Pineapple, and an amazing Mango Cake topped with French Vanilla Yogurt, Chocolate Chips, Walnuts, Cashews, Slivered Almonds, and Wheat Germ...

My only regret, I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF IT!!! Uh! But Praise God, It was soooo Good!

Man, this morning and through the afternoon, The Lord Blessed me with amazing work, studies and then Jeffrey came over and we all shared Mexican Shade Grown Organic, Rich, Dark, and Bubbly Style!

We watched the intro to KG's Birthday movie, like Jeff says, it knocks our socks off! I Pray for Aug 4 that we are all Healthy to celebrate, and to celebrate on Aug 2 due to the leap year Birthday! Whoo!

CC and Jeff came up with an amazing idea for the fam to all write a "Blessing" Letter that KG can look back on and read. A unifying idea The Lord Blessed Jeff with is for us all to come up with a Prayer for her. Each person develops a Prayer for KG..."Lord, Make KG....."

Man, I cant wait to read and Pray over all of these for our Warrior Princess...I cant wait for her to read them, giving her a sense of destiny and an instinct to be a Lion Chaser....to be Saturated in The Holy Spirit and to never know a day without Jesus as Her Lord and Savior!

Jeff and I then hit the track for one of THE MOST INTENSE Kamikaze day's ever!

• 1 x 350 in 50 secs, 90 secs rest (26 secs for the first 200!)
  
• 1 x 200 in 26.5 secs
  

Jeff! You are a BEAST! You make me better! Thanks Bro! PX for You! Amen!

On the way home, we discussed Jeff's passion for writing Christian Fiction! Amazing! I am so pumped to see how The Lord is going to speak to the world through him! Jeff you are so creative and so passionate, The Lord has given you these qualities for a reason! He is going to BLOW your mind with how He writes through you! Lord, speak to and through Jeff, what story Lord?...What Characters? Use Him Lord, Inspire Him Lord, Write and Speak through him Lord! Lead Jeff to the references and resources to train him! Whoo! Thank You Lord!


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 journal:

"The Rock" Is In The House!

I echo Jeff in saying, "God Is Faithful!" I never new that the domino effect of bed bugs would create such a positive outcome! Of course, I Praise Christ that Jeff and his fellow troops are strong and healthy, but it is so cool how we can turn a negative into a positive!

*It has allowed Jeff and TheWhit to drive around together since they are sharing a car
*It has allowed us to learn how to defeat the idiots so that we will be protected in the future
*It provided me one of the greatest mornings of my life today!Since Jeff is without a vehicular
apparatus until it gets sprayed, I was fortunate to go and pick him up and then go train...Here are some Highlights and MasterCard Moments, all occuring before it was even 0930 hours...

• Prayer Time and Discipleship Moments with Jeff, my ChristFollowing Mentor
• Hang out time with my Niece, Praise God for Her! We played, "I'm Gonna Get You" and "Where Is KG?" She is so amazing, she is running around the house, cool blue knit (collar up) with blue jeans and white shoes, she is "Robust With Life!"
  
• Seeing Extreme Generosity lived out in the life of KG...she is so cool, a cool Warrior Princess who understands this principle at such a young age...as soon as I walk in, she gives me a HUGE smile, runs over to her toy basket, pulls out a toy, and offers it to me to play with! Wow! What a Generous Host!
• Seeing Her go behind the curtain to play "Where Is KG?" Rocked my world...to have that kind of dialogs and make a connection with her shows me the importance of human relationships

A Generous and Faithful God

Wow!

My first "whata-greatday" post since I left for Nashville Mission trip!

Just got down catching up on Bradely's "whata-greatday" posts. Bradley, seriously, those posts are God-ordained and Spirit Alive! Jesus "burned" my heart as I read them! We'll talk about 'em soon, God willing!

Let me tell you how generous and faithful God is. It has been said that if all the good things Jesus did on earth were recorded, there would not be enough books to contain them. So it is with God's generosity and faith. Not enough room in this post. However, here are some bullet points:

-Answered our fam's prayer for Genesis 28:15 reunion and Psalm 121...Psalm 5 and 91
-All healthy
-Gave me strength to drive 7 hours despite being up 'til 330am with a high school student in the E.R. (God saved him BIG TIME by the way :))
-Pineapple Casserole!
-Whitney, Kate Gray, and newbie(s)
-Team Nashville and traveling mercies. Team Peru and traveling mercies
-I do have "bed bugs"...literally, from Nashville and yes, I have to throw some things away and wash everything and fumigate my car...but Paul almost died many times and Jesus was beaten and killed by His own people. Bugs the size of rice grains chose me as their food...big deal :)
-A praying family
-Nashville "Care Cards"!
-July the 4th
-This weekend!-God willing!
-Next week--God willing!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Journal:

Thankful: for my fam, food on the table, a great youth ministry position, a dad who helped out my wife with her vocational options, the cpa who helped out as well. Thankful also for Seth who bought the Lion Chaser book and for Steve's encouragement! Thankful for the Lion Chasers God has brought to the study and to the lunch!

Joyful: for people who actually care

Prayerful: For the church, for upcoming 7th graders, youth group, family. I prayed the song titled, "Lead me to the Cross" by Hillsongs for them all! I pray the Lion Chaser tribe will continue even though we will have to miss some weeks due to the misson trips and summer retreat
