Happy New Year 2011

Got to visit with my brother's kids in Mississippi


Went out to the family farm a few times and got to bond with Dad (doing beaver pest control / hunting).


Visited Grandparents, Mom and Herbert on Christmas


Got to do alittle hunting and fishing


Flying out of SNA airport into Minneapolis to Memphis and back from Memphis to Salt Lake City and then back to Orange County at SNA.

It was a quick but eventful eight days ... now gotta start losing all the extra weight that I picked before and during the holiday! A new resolution is in play!

Happy New Year my friends!

Holidays in Mississippi

Christmas Eve flight back to da South ... was going smoothly until I landed in MSP airport. Scheduled 3:30 flight ended up leaving at 7pm but I did enjoying having two sets of empty rows on both legs of my flight and met some nice Canadian travelers along the way. Finally rolled in my hometown of Greenwood at 11pm local time that night (I started at 4am in California).


Dad using his new birthday/Christmas gift digital camera that I got him! Finally into the digital age after using film cameras all his life! Now just trying to explain to him how to get the photos out ... that's another story!



My niece and nephew on Christmas Day


Opening some of their gifts on Christmas morning!

Children are blessings!

Happy Holidays my friends!

SERIES: Why Giving Is Go(o)d

TITLE: TITHING: ONE OF GOD'S GIFTS TO US

TEXT: Malachi 3:6-12

SYNOPSIS: As we celebrate this Advent Season and the ultimate gift that is Jesus, we turn our thoughts toward our own giving and exploring why it is good and godly. This week we look at the practice of tithing. We will look at the evidence for tithing in Scripture as a regular, expected discipline that ultimately is good for us. We will answer questions such as Does the Bible teach a tithe? Does it still apply today? Does the full tithe go to the church? Is a tithe based on gross or net income? What happens if I don't tithe? What happens if I do?

TEXT: Philippians 4:1-20

SYNOPSIS: As we celebrate this Advent Season and the ultimate gift that is Jesus, we turn our thoughts toward our own giving and exploring why it is good and godly.

SERIES: Why Giving Is Go(o)d

TITLE: Giving Is Its Own Reward

TEXT: 2Corinthians 8:9-9:11

SYNOPSIS: As we celebrate this Advent Season and the ultimate gift that is Jesus, we turn our thoughts toward our own giving and exploring why it is good and godly. This week we look at the foundational principle of sowing and reaping, of investing and increase. This in light of Jesus, who though rich, for our sakes become poor, so that we might become rich...rich in every way so we can be generous on every occasion.
