Today I turned 35 years old

Today was a big day in my life, I'm officially half-way to 70! I spent some time thinking about where I thought I'd be at 35. I've had a lot of dreams for the first half of my life ever since my teenage years. Here are a few random thoughts about what I thought my life would be like @ 35...
-I thought that I would have more hair
-I thought that I would have more money
-I thought that I would be more mature :)
-I thought that I would marry a hot, godly woman (& I did)
-I thought that I would have 3 kids (& I do, plus 1 & 1 more on the way)
-I thought that I would Pastor a relevant,vibrant & life-changing church (& I do)
-I thought that I would be playing a lot of basketball (not happening, yet)
-I thought that I would weigh less than I do!
-I thought that I would be helping people experience the love of God (& I am)
I look back over the last 35 years and I am thankful that God has allowed virtually all of my dreams to come to pass. I am blessed more than I deserve, seriously!!! God owes me nothing & I'm thankful for everything! I'm currently dreaming for the second half of my life and I've got some absolutely humongous, God-sized dreams. I'm believing for each of them to come to pass in my life! What are you dreaming for God to do in your life?

Great devotional, "Exceedingly Abundantly"

Today I read a great devotional from Joel Osteen Ministries that I thought would be an encouragement to you. To often we settle for mediocrity & second best in our lives. Many times I trust God for so little when He really wants to bless me big! I want to challenge you today to remember that God can do more in & through your life than what your currently believing for! Take a step & believe big today! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever" (Ephesians 3:20-21, NKJ) TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria God wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ever ask, think, or imagine. In another place, it says that no person has ever seen, heard, or even imagined the wonderful things that God has in store for those who love the Lord. But notice that it's according

It's called, "Genesis Week- Creating A Life Worth Living One Day At A Time" and will be out this summer or eventually.  ____________________________________________________________   “... God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life...”.   Psalm 51:7-15 (MSG) On July 4, 2012, hundreds of thousands of people eagerly gathered in San Diego, California, to enjoy an 18-minute fireworks show that was advertised as one of the "biggest in the nation."   People waited for hours for what was sure to be the best ever Big Bay Boom. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours had been spent on planning and preparing for this epic event.  A few minutes before the anticipated 9 p.m. start time, the show began, unexpectedly. In one loud blast, all of the fireworks ignited simultaneously. Th
