Some Assembly Required

This was a record year for Christmas presents that require Dad to sit with a Phillips head screwdriver, Allen wrenchs, hammer, acetylene torch, 1 1/2 ton floor jack and... OK OK. Maybe I didn't use all of those, but I'm just saying.

We clean the Christmas mess up today and pack our bags. Yep, it's time for another road trip. We'll be travelling to Hamilton, AL for the winter Ramp conference with Karen Wheaton Ministries. Lou is speaking this year again in addition to Dutch Sheets, Damon Thompson and others. This will be Lou's first opportunity to launch the vision for The Call in 2007 when we'll be gathering a solemn assembly in the Titan's stadium. We're believing for 100,000 people to gather there 07/07/07.

We're not particularly excited about another long road trip with the kids. South Dakota really burned them out on car rides. But this will be an incredible gathering with Karen and her group. It was from a Ramp gathering that this clip was taken which many of you have seen from a previous post.

Cannonball!

No, we're not shipping the children away to a distant land. This just proves that a giant box of polystyrene peanuts is infinitely funner than the contents.

Thanks Nana.

Happy Birthday

So, open your mouth, lad!

So Randy Bohlender calls me a couple of days ago. There was an urgency in his voice that got my attention. "Did you see what's going on with Senator Tim Johnson? And did you read Adam McArthur's blog today?"

Well I'm sure everyone is aware of what's going on with the Senator, but did you realize that my friend Adam McArthur is worthy of equal national exposure? The numbers don't lie folks. This blog entry is now the 6th most-read piece in WordPress history. And the number is still growing.
