So, it's been a long couple of weeks.

But, when you see God move in very powerful ways it makes it all worth it.

The weekend ROCKED in a major way. Our church held a "Friend Day" celebration we jumped from one service with barely hitting 100 consistently to three services with almost 300! Praise God!

Anyway, that is why I've been a little quiet in the blogosphere lately. I have a lot to talk about and things I want to say, but just didn't have the time. However, get your feedreaders ready because I'm going to start empyting my brain.

Just a few things before the big posts start...

1. The Big God Sized Dream is a big time go! I've been talking to several people in the community, and some of the denomination leaders and they are behind the idea.

2. Homeschool is going great. And I have another dream, but it's only a quick glimpse. I think the bigger picture will come into play once the Big God Sized Dream starts to roll big time and when my leadership skills improve.

3. The kids are loving spring. They really aren't cold weather kids. They'd rather stay inside during the winter, but when the sun comes out, the snow goes away, and they don't have to wear 40 pounds of clothes... they want to be out all day. It's great!

4. I taught my son to fish yesterday! We tried several times, but the weather just wasn't great. High winds made it hard for him to learn. But, yesterday was picture perfect. Beautiful lake. Low wind gusts, and sun. It took him a few lost fish to figure out how to keep your line taught so you can "jerk" the rod to set the hook.

But, once he picked it up he caught more fish than I did! The tally is three for Matthew and a BIG Zero for me.

5. Kaitlynn has a big ballet recital coming up... her very first! She's very excited and my wife and I can't wait. She is a little ham anyway.

6. Controversy. Is it a good thing? I believe so. I believe Jesus was controversial. He was solid in what He wanted to see changed in the hearts and minds of man. Instead of doing what man wanted, He did want God wanted. So, with that said, and wanting to follow in the footsteps of Christ, you can expect to see a little more controversial tone. There are a lot of things that "Christians" are saying that just don't make sense. They don't add up. I think it's time to stop tiptoeing around and start making footprints.

What do you think? (more on this later.)

That's it for now and I'll be back with some of the things that are on my mind.
