Soooo. We're back in the swing of normal life. The girlies are back in school. Jenna's representing now in HS. She's rockin strong with her Devil wears prada group(not a made up name), Brit is trying out tomorrow for a spot in West side story with a made for TV monologue... and singing "My white night" from my fav musical and yours(drum roll.....) The Music Man! And finally our little Lorna has begun her fall term at FIU. Such the big college girl! She's trying to determine the traffic flow down there which can turn a 20 min trip into an hour and 20! Yikes! My baby, Sharon Lee, just set sail with 32 of FRC's finest to Peru(they actually flew, i just wanted to say that because I was on a roll..."did we give up when the germans bombed pearl harbor!") They are currently doing an Extreme makeover on the girls orphanage FRC supports. Very cool. We've wisked the 23 girls away to a week long "camp" so they don't know. Shhh.

Just another day in paradise

Hi guys. Had a pretty righteous day today. Got to LA at 6:17, saw some of the gang there going after it-Nestor's inspirational. Wknd planning was cool-Troy's back this wknd talking about?...?it's gonna be grrrreat! Had lunch with Sharon lee(had the footlong hot dog on a wheat bun-low expectations, but had a delightful taste with surprising satisfaction-umm), Sharon got to ride down to Miami, BY HERSELF!!! She scored a passport for the Lima, Peru extreme makeover for the girls orphanage trip. Way to go Luv-i'm sooo proud I'm shedding a tear! We both got to show off our MYNAKEDPASTOR.COM car magnets-Oooo, ahhh! Those things are so cool-thanks Scott-you are truly a gifted scribe. Troy gave me an AWESOME, new NBA folder-this one's black(unlike my 10 yr old orange one) and has the official NBA notepad inside. That's a triple double in my book-literally! Thanks bro! Went to Chicken kitchen and landed some fine chicken, lettuce, tomato,rice-you know the drill. Came home and our 2 high schoolers were...guess...sleeping. If you have high schoolers you know what happens in the summer. They stay up ALL hours of the night then try to sleep in(dad makes a lot of noise in the am) all hours of the morning. So, as you can imagine, there world is ROCKED when school begins and they have to wake up at 5something or other! It's awesome! I had to peel Jenna off the couch about an hour ago. Then my honey and I just got back from our walk-a righteous day! Oh well, thanks for allowing me to share(good times) have a peaceful rest-Rock strong.

Pray for Lima

Hi guys. Lots of exciting stuff going on here. Sharon spent most of the day trying to get a passport to go to Lima. We're going to send a team down there and do an extreme makeover on the orphanage we partner with. Pretty wild timing with the earthquake! Gar told me today that we should send 25 plus people down there. Much thoughts and prayers go to our Campus pastor Steve and Dorcas and to Josue' our worship pastor there. We love you guys. Please pray for Troy. He has a cool opp. He's going to teach this wknd at Fellowship church. They've always been a huge example and frontrunner in the "how to do church world" for us. A cool and righteous side note is that our own Stephanie Smith is beginning a small group in Fort worth TX. We've sent her a video box to capture wknd teachings and show them at any time to her group. Who knows FRC Fort worth!?!?! Oh well, i hope you guys have a spectacular day. Rock strong.

MY NAKED PASTOR!

Hello Blogging nation! No need to fear I am back. I know you've waited for the virtual plethora of information and wisdom to come pouring from these pages!

Sooo...

Brittany and Jenna just got back from their FRC high school summer camp. Yes I said they BOTH went(our baby is now in high school)! Wasn't it just a few years ago that I was schooling everybody in the student center in Foosball-oh shoot they made the last table in 1992! Yes our little girlies had a blast at the camp. They said the camp site totally rocked strong with a rip line, rock wall, good food, great bed, awesome worship and games and 32 kids gave their hearts to Christ with a ton of other re dedications-very cool!

Lauren is finishing up her 7 hours of college classes for the summer. She's doing well. Just finished a big project. Great job baby, stay the course, thousand points of light...

And...ta,ta,ta,tah.......Sharon lee and are celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary today!!! I love my honey. We went to Melting pot yesterday. Got the back private table for 2-kissy, kissy! Sharon had the mushroom salad while I had the California salad(the diversity of taste between the raspberry vinaigrette and the chucks of bleu cheese with the crunch of the walnuts makes my head spin)-sorry i took a little vacation! We, of course scored large with the cheddar cheese and the chocolate. Very tasty. All in all we had a great time.

Oh well, just got done with 2 worship times and 4 more to go tomorrow at CC with many more to go at the other sites. Pastor Troy is back doing awesome and we're very glad. We've missed him. Have a fantastic day or night-rock on.
