They did it!


No surprise, at least in our household nobody thought it was a shock. I mean, they've done it six times by now...it's not like it's rare.

When the Steelers win, I get a double blessing. I do believe they are an awesome team however aside from that, my husband is very happy and it makes for a good week in our house, versus him brooding and analyzing and wondering, "what went wrong?" But of course we are talking about the Steelers here, so those times are few and far between.

My mom loves this team (has since I was in high school). When you think of them, would you pray for her to be born again! She's getting up in age and doesn't know Jesus. 2as1

No celebration here in Houston. Mr. NFL cried. The Steelers knocked his favorite team the Chargers out of the playoffs so he was really cheering for Cardinals!

And I've seen pics of the new puppy...what happened to Gina? I think that was her name...

Pastor Lisa, Geena is with another family. (Truly she is, that is not code for anything else...lol) Geena was not a friendly dog and behavior kept getting worse. Perhaps we should have gotten the Dog Whisperer, but I dunno...anyway, she bit so many people or dogs (and we paid the bills from it) and you just can't have a mean dog in a pastor's home at least a pastor who always has people over. It got to the point where we realized she needed to be with maybe a single person or couple who did not entertain...and perhaps if they sent her to obedience school it would have helped although she is getting very old and probably doesn't have many years left. Anyway, that's what happened to Geena. We gave her to an agency that places with families and does not put them down, and always finds a place for them.

As for Maddie, look for more pics to come! So far Maddie is an angel and only loves up on anyone and everyone. We take her to church and keep her in our office during the services and we let her out right before and after because her bladder is still small and only holds for about an hour and a half to two hours.

Sorry about Mr. NFL's loss...I know it's hard when the team you were rooting for doesn't win and it seems that these boys/men take it so hard...

Relevant Church doing something...

incredibly RELEVANT!

I just heard some news today that really inspired me. A church here in Tampa, Relevant Church is doing a new thing this month called the "30 Days Sex Challenge." (I've never visited the church but Pastor Trinity - our children's pastor - has visited or has met some people from this church and he was very impressed.) Realizing that this is a major element missing from some marriages (the frequency factor) their lead pastor, Paul Wirth, has issued a challenge for all the married couples to have sex for 30 days in a row. At the same time he has issued a challenge for all unmarrieds to completely abstain from sex. Of course we know the Bible says that those who are unmarried should not have sex in the first place but the point is, a lot of unmarried's aren't obeying the Lord's command to abstain and this is just one pastor's way of trying to get them to see that indeed, there is a better way! (God's way!) At the same time, many married couples are no

This Could Have Ruined Everything... (But It Didn't!)

 No one would ever guess what happened to me this weekend in Jacksonville, Florida...so I'm going to tell you. :) As I was preaching at the Fearless Tour at New Hope Assembly of God this weekend,  I got choked up, literally. For probably 2-3 minutes I coughed profusely and greatly struggled. Then I drank some water and kept preaching. Everyone was gracious to give me a few moments to get my bearings. If you were there, you'll remember it! What no one realized at the time was that I swallowed a bug that flew right in while I was preaching! So disgusting! I said nothing because I was at a point in the sermon where I was really connecting and I knew if I said, "I swallowed a bug," everyone would either laugh profusely or be really concerned, or start feeling sorry for me.  And at that point whey wouldn't be thinking about the message anymore, but the fact that I had just swallowed a bug. They would then imagine what it would be like, and feel grossed out which

Why You Should Never Hijack a Comment Thread
Social media etiquette 101

One surefire way to kill your influence in social media and wear out your welcome fast is to become involved in derailing somebody’s comment thread with your own agenda. Networking and hijacking aren’t the same thing. It’s surprising how many people don’t understand that this is a guarantee for tearing down a platform as quickly as you build it. Passion is good, even necessary. I appreciate people's zeal for their personal core values. What is not appreciated is the attempt at a redirection of a comment thread when the comment has little or nothing to do with an original post or is twisted at best. Social media provides ample opportunity for all of us to share what’s important to us on our own platform. Eliciting others’ responses and developing connections largely depends on our ability to communicate and compel. Some people are open to receiving private communication from others although they aren’t always able to answer personally or at length. But hijacking a comment threa
