A new week begins-a fresh cup of French Roast (new grinder used) a new copy of Valley of Vision, a new Bible to read from (HCSB)-good stuff. # I uploaded a YouTube video — Fun@thePark http://youtu.be/puhTxozx10M?a # Paper airplane virtuoso tests record aloft (AP) http://bit.ly/8ZSIWx. No, no, it’s really a sport, the article says so. # Final prep for the final Lord’s Day of 2009. # Just finished my annual cleaning of the office closet. Now off to our end of the year Lord’s Supper service. # Conclusion to an encouraging day-@justinjpeters did a good job handling the word-he and Erick are beloved brothers to work alongside. # Mom’s day off today-Dad’s day to wrestle kids all day. Fun times ahead. # A California Christmas tradition: picking oranges and grapefruit off the tree: http://yfrog.com/4eq1xxj # Dad’s day away-sort of; I still have some office work to do-then some reading, reflecting, writing, and personal planning. # RT @mindymartin: Biblical support for tweeting: “Like a swallow, like a crane, so I Twitter;” Isaiah 38:14 🙂 # RT @JohnPiper: Olivetree BibleReader Version 4.10.

Finishing prep for the day; Christmas concert tonight – almost finished with 09 Capranica Clan DVD. Not sold in stores anywhere. # The concert went great tonight-enjoyed seeing many there invited by our members-praying the opportunity bears fruit. # I uploaded a YouTube video — Year in Review http://youtu.be/GVj8IUfkp2k?a # I uploaded a YouTube video — Fun@Home.m4v http://youtu.be/khU9txYx-ws?a # US Senate passes sweeping health bill (AFP) http://bit.ly/5zXcWt # Had a great time with friends from church this evening-fabulous dinner, fun fellowship, grateful for the blessings that come with the gospel # Time to sip my wife’s brilliant Christmas wassail and put the kids new gift together. Will be a short night. # Many sympathies for my parents who stayed up late on Chtistmas eve to surprise us. “Adult Assembly” was an understatement on kids gifts. # “…call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” The one promised has come, our sins atoned for-God is with us. # Time to create some Capranica spaghetti sauce! While it is for lunch later-it could go good for breakfast. # Just finished a fun Christmas with family and took some left over spaghetti to neighbors who needed some encouragement.

Trying to get the brain going this morning. Coffee, where’s the coffee. # Glancing through the headlines-then some heart work. # Can’t sleep, might as well work. # Up to focus my mind on things above (Col 3:1-2). # At my least favorite place-the dentist. Execution scene from Braveheart is about to pop into my head as I lay down next to the “tools” # Freedom! # Time to go play at the park! # Powered by Twitter...
