Sunday Night Reflections

We had two great services today. The attendance this morning was higher than usual, but it's only going to get better. Wednesday, at InterMission, I'm going to announce an attendance goal that's going to be through the roof! Beyond the attendance, what was really encouraging about today's services was to see people seeking God with all their hearts. That's what our services should be about.
Once again, the Mega Sports Camp was outstanding this year! We had more children than ever, the workers were diligent in doing their jobs, and God's Word was taught in fresh and relevant ways. Thanks to everyone who worked hard this past week, especially to the Mega Sports Camp director, Bernice. It's not an easy job, but once again, she did it in an outstanding manner. Solid Rock Church is blessed to have her, as well as everyone else who worked so hard. I'll put up some pictures of from the camp later this week.
I'm really excited about this month's InterMission, which will be held this Wednesday at 7:00 PM. I will be talking about our fall campaign, Nothing's Too Hard for God, and sharing some things that God has placed on my heart. Don't miss it!
Have a great week. Pray for rain!

The Day Our World Changed

November 13, 1989. 11:30 AM I had just finished my lunch in the teacher's workroom and was walking back to my classroom. I was teaching at San Jacinto Elementary in San Angelo, Texas at the time. Up until then, it had been a typical November day. As I walked past the school office, the door swung open, and a fellow teacher stepped out with a look of concern on her face. She spoke directly to me and said, “Your wife’s on the phone, and it sounds serious.” I ran into the office, took the phone, and heard my wife say, “I don’t know what happened, but your brother is on life support in a hospital in Austin.” Twelve hours later, my father and I were sharing a room in a hotel on I-35 in Austin. My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name. My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his h...

Try not to laugh too hard

So we finally gave in and bought a Wii. It turns out that it's a lot of fun. Unfortunately, my kids were having fun at my expense. I was trying out the boxing and had no idea Bethany was video taping me. The jerky movement at the end of the clip is Bethany shaking because she was laughing so hard.

Lessons from a cross country meet

This past Saturday morning, Lillian, Ryan, and I went to Ballinger for a cross country meet. Ryan and Micah are part of the Cornerstone team that came in second place in their division. It was a great meet, but the the real drama came at the end of the race. There was a young man running in the race that was so far back from the rest of the pack that he came in about 10 minutes after the rest of the field had finished. In fact, most of the people watching the meet had already left, thinking the last runner had finished. Several of the workers had already put some of the equipment away, and the water girl was rolling the water containers away when she was told to come back because there was one more runner still out. Finally, the young man came into view as he entered the stadium for the final few yards. As he approached the finish line, the few people who remained, including me and my wife, encouraged him with applause and tears. Why tears? Because we knew the background story. Just on...
