I remember the infatuation

I remember the infatuation with the king of pop. I'd hear the intro to the pepsi commercials and knock over furniture to make sure I could see it. I made my mom copy her LP of thriller onto a tape so I could listen to. I used my fisher price tape recorder up next to the TV to record the audio from awards shows. I remember the amazement of watching him perform Billy Jean - and my mom saying "watch this, here it comes . . . watch" and then he did the moonwalk. twice. in the same song.MJ -…

Use your imagination . . .

When was the last time you used your imagination in worship? I've been reading through the historical books, and trying to take note of some of the lengths that Israel would go to to express gratitude, to ask forgiveness, to give thanks . . . Solomon's over one week-long worship service, for the dedication of the temple, included the sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Can you imagine the scene of fire coming down from Heaven and consuming the sacrifice? The people of God - bowing and declaring "For He is good, for his steadfast love endures forever .…

RE – Monday morning recap for last Sunday May

So I've been told that my recap of yesterday's time of worship wasn't fluffy enough . . .

The Presidential Suite . . . Are you kidding me?

My wife and I celebrated our 11th Anniversary this weekend (Dec 20th). We have stayed at the Peachtree Plaza almost every year for the last 11, including our wedding night. I'm a huge cheapskate, so I always book online, and attempt to get the lowest price. This year - the lowest price was accomplished by an advance pay, no refund reservation. $110.00/night. Not bad. I think the lowest we've ever paid was $96.So, as I do every year, I call a couple nights before and talk with someone at the front desk and tell them that we're celebrating, and could…
