I like the whole concept of a weekly reflection post . . . so here it is!

Life is Good - I just had someone bless me with a hat, coffee mug, bumper sticker, and Life is Good book. I am a huge fan of their stuff because I really do love my life and I enjoy every moment I get to live! Life is really good… but really…if I had to tweak it, I would make it say: God is Good! (Anyone want to go into business with me? . . . just a thought)

Twitter – Ok… so I am officially addicted to Twitter! I believe it is the new Facebook! It is an awesome way to keep up with what is going on in people’s lives (although some think it is stalking) haha… I enjoy following peoples lives in whom I would normally not get to spend a lot of time with. YOU NEED TO GET A TWITTER!!!!

Marathon Update: Just finished my second week of running an 18 – miler. This Friday I am going to go for my first 20 mile run!! Keep Pastor Larry and I in your prayers as we continue to train for Chicago. (40 days left)

RMU – I started my last semester ever at RMU! I really do believe in higher education, but I also really believe that it is the teachers that make it worth it or not. I’ve had teachers teach on subjects I would have normally hated, but they captured my attention and I ended up loving it. Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of teachers that I have wasted my time by taking their class. I love this thought:

“Communicators take complex things and make them simple, Educators take simple things and make them complex…in fact if you understand it, they get upset!” - Very True!

That is enough rambling for today… Have a great Labor Day!!

Marilyn Hickey was a guest speaker at church this weekend and changed my life. Here were the life changing things she shared:

• God thinks you can do anything!
• Expect God to do extra ordinary things in and through your life

Zack Blair changed my life with his message this weekend. It’s been such a privilege to have him as a friend and see God plant a vision for 19 North in his heart. He is one of the most humble people I’ve ever met and I am so excited to see the work that God does at 19 North. You Must listen to this message (8.23.08) Podcast.

4:12 Dinner – We took our summer “interns” out to dinner to celebrate their summer of service. I’ll post on this late this week, but they’ve changed my life and I am so thankful for all of them and their friendship!!

Vanessa taught me that God speaks through fortune cookies (it’s a joke… don’t start a doctrine!) . . . Thanks Vanessa!

I love my life, I love God, I love people… I can’t even describe what is going on in my heart right now… man… God is so good . . . it literally brings tears to my eyes…good night world.
