Don’t Be In Such A Hurry!
My dream:
Two cars are driving down a road. It is a two-lane road. It is a winding road. They are cruising along. The second car is eager to pass the first, even though they are already cruising at a nice speed. The second car wants to pass the first (the leader) so badly that they are about to cross over the double yellow line to make their move.
The Whole Skiing Accident Story
February 11, 2011
We had just finished lunch at a mid moutain restaurant. A huge burger, fries, and vitamin water. Completely delicious after skiing hard all morning. Erica decided to ski back to the base and take the rest of the day off. this was our final day to ski and she was ready to shop. We had had an incredible morning skiing all kinds of trails. Here is a video of a run I did earlier in the day called, McConkey’s Bowl (a double black diamond.) Read the rest of this entry
When watching the scenes of Egypt on television, it breaks my heart to see the turmoil and despair. The temperatures in central Texas right now are lower than they have been in years. Snow is predicted in the forecast. When I arrive at a destination, I run out of my truck and am so thankful for warm shelter. The last few days, I have been so grateful for a country that has so much peace and physical shelter. There are multiple places to find safety. There is not an absence of destruction in America, however, there seems to be places to find shelter when needed.A Message to Daniel and Michelle on their Wedding Day
This Marriage is the perfect example of the hope and life we can find in God. When the world brings an end to things, God picks up the pieces and begins to create a masterpiece one piece at a time. Michelle, as you take different media and begin to create your works of art, pieces that have little to no value on their own take on a whole new definition. Beauty and value are redefined as things come together. Those things come together because of the vision of the artist.
As I look at you Daniel and Michelle, it is obvious to me that God is creating in you both something new, beautiful, and valuable. It is not a composition that you as pieces can create, but only the creator. Ezekiel 34 says “I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak…”, God takes that which is lifeless and resurrects it.
Romans 8 says “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
So, we give thanks and recognize that God has played a huge role in both of your lives and now is presenting you both with the new start. Where you take this blessing is up to you. I encourage you to pursue one another after marriage more than you did before. Don’t let this be a ball and chain. The only ball and chain that should be in your relationship is the one you use for one of your brutal workout routines.
Keep Christ at the center of your home. Daniel, as you are fully aware, as soon as you start letting your discipline slip in your physical body, you start seeing negative results. The same will apply to this relationship. Consistantly lead your family. There are 3 significant others in the household that are sharing in this union. Continue investing in those kids and provide for them stability, integrity, and leadership towards Christ.
