This Morning

Thoughts below inspired by the message at DC this weekend from todd.  Just stuff I am noodling on.

Rev 3 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

This morning feeling the need to ask this question of myself and just putting it out there for general noodling on.  What is the temperature of your relationship with God?  Boiling? Room Temperature? Frozen?

Look at Luke 13
He said to them, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

26“Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27“But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’

Do you know a lot about Him?  Or do you know Him?  When you knock at the door will he say…”Hey friend come on it?”  Or “Dude, I don’t even know who you are?”

Man I know…I KNOW!

So, it has been a long time since a brotha left a post on this here blog.

What can I say—basically—Jaxon now has chest hair it has been so long.

I am gonna hit my groove on this deal & be back in the saddle postin’ all the time.

My life — well — is like your life.  I get up at 5:30 to try and have some “me time”; 6:30 boys are up; 7 running (training for LA Marathon); 8:50 head into work; 9-5:30 work; 5:30 play with kids; 6 eat; 6:45 start putting boys to bed; 7 kids in bed; 7:30 plop onto couch—sit there waiting for Office season premier; 9 head to bed; 9:45 asleep (sometimes).

Minus plop on couch time slot…not a whole lot of time to bust out some knowledge on the blog.

Ok—that is me whining.  Basically I will be back on the wagon of blogging.

In the meantime…what does your daily schedule look like?

The Cheese is back

Todd—aka my boss—aka Cheese has been on a month study break.

And it is great to have him back.  We are launching into a study on the book of Revelation.  Should be interesting and compelling.

You can listen to his sermon by clicking here: Discovery’s website.

Have You Ear Candled?!

Big fun in the McKinney house tonight.

My brother, Brian and his wife, Sasha spent the weekend here before they went on to Las Vegas.  How did we spend our last evening together?  We ear candled!

What did you do Sunday night?

Jetlag, beds and Coffee

For some reason when you get back from being oversees there seems to be 3 things that accompany oneself.  Jetlag, beds and coffee.  The jetlag is something that is unavoidable.  Your body (which is fascinating- how it adapts) goes from feeling energetic to crashing hard in one hour because you should be in bed yet it is only 4pm where you are physically.

The bed part comes in when that is all you can think about—how can I get to my bed and sleep.  Yet somewhere inside you know you should not go to bed at 4pm because you will wake up at 1pm-thus prolonging your integration to your current time zone.

And of course when one travels to the other side of the world and comes back you use coffee as a crutch to the get through the day.  Your morning coffee does not do the trick instead you are led to have numerous cups a day to get over that jetlag we talked about already.

So this is where I am at—jetlag, beds and coffee.  We had a great trip to Poland.  And our other team is still there doing a week of camp.  I am back trying to get my groove on here in So Cal.

What is the worst jetlag experience you have had—coming from what country?
