And yes, that is my Dad’s name in the paper.
Tell 'em LARGE MARGE sent ya!
Wow, what an awesome weekend! The Jesus Culture Conference was a great experience and a much needed “wake up call” of sorts for myself. It was as if God fanned the small flame in my heart into a massive fire for Him Friday night. I’ve never been so moved by the Holy Spirit before and you could just tell that His presence was there with us. Our worship band does an excellent job...
RC3 Journal 5/26/10: 1st John 4
”18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
It’s sometimes tough to...
Wow what a weekend!! I will be making a long post about everything that happened but I’ll just say that it was one of the best weekends I’ve ever had. Wow. God is good.
Even after this long day I’m still not tired. Looks like its back to working through season 1 of weeds.
My Head Will Explode
So I just registered for the summer quarter and might be taking 20 credit hours?
I woke up today to fog, clouds and chilly...
“God is still God and God is still good. To God be the glory” -Zac Smith
Watch
If you have a couple minutes, watch this amazing story about Zach…
Unfortunately he passed away on Sunday but this message from his wife is powerful:
“This is Mandy, Zachary James Smith, went to be with Jesus at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday May 16th. He is no longer in pain. The cancer has lost and Jesus has the victory in all of this. The battle has been won. I know you all loved Zac,...

1st Peter 5:6-9
“6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being...

James 5:8-9
“8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. “
James is talking here about preparing our hearts and that we should not complain about our worldly troubles. We all go through tough times but it is during these...

James 4:2-4, 8-10
“2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world...

So I think I’m going to join two of my friends in blogging my daily RC3 journal entries. Hopefully this will keep me on track and give me more motivation to actually do one each day. So, here goes….

5 weeks to go. In that time I need to have a lot done.
Guess it’s time to do work, son.
It’s another gorgeous day here in Cincy. The weather has been perfect, mid 70s all day. Even though I’m ready for the summer to get here, I wish this Spring weather would stay.
I also got an encouraging email from one of my kids’ parents today. We’ve been doing a series on regret recently. She said that the other night her son came to her and apologized for some things...
It’s only Monday and I’m already in need of some serious motivation…. I hate to say it but I can’t wait for classes to start. I really need some more structure in my life right now.
Drake-Over
The chorus is my new motto.
I don’t get it…. Why can’t life be easy? This weekend was a blast but now I have even more questions! Efff…….
