12 scene points for me....

So on Sunday after attending church with the family we hit up the Starbucks here in beautiful Dinuba and I was offered a job!! Yes folks you heard me right - Frankie is going to be a Starbuck coffee hustla!

The goal is to get a stable schedule there so I can try to find a way to cut hair part time..somewhere!

I am happy with the fact that I am going to be working - bummed that I am stuck here though.

On other topics....Jimmy Carter is a jackass, Daisy made it through her first day of soccer practice and this week is Free Setanta Preview week which means that I get to watch soccer for a few days uninterupted!!

life is alright!

No title....cause I can not think of one!!

So recently the term "G12" has come up a few times so tonight I have been trying to look it up and see where its roots are from then I see it connected to Mike Bickle (IHOP) and Tedd Haggard (Colorado pastor who committed adultery and busted with meth)....

It seems like there are alot of new trends popping up in Christian culture and trying to determine what is biblical and what is a false teaching is becoming tougher and tougher. I mean the lines are getting blurrier everyday!!

I am getting tired and everything is starting to read the same.....so I will say this - Put that new trend, new doctrine or hip new theology next to the word of God see how it compares tell me if it stands next to what God has laid out in His word because if it does not stand next to what the Bible says....yo man you are getting suckered!!!

And so it begins....

Monday is Daisy's first day of practice....Her kit came today and she is really excited. This will be the first time she has played a sport of any kind. She will be playing for the Rotary Club and her first match will be October 3rd.

Today was the first DHS Football game but Lindsee is at Encounter instead of cheering this week.

Now I have two kids playing a sport!!

Never Forget the past......

Today is September 11th, 2009 and on this day in 2001 the United States was faced with one of it's greatest tragedies since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.

This morning I turned on the news to see different memorials about that day and really the only thing that came to mind was that it seems like people forget what happened until they are reminded. It seems like people have forgotten the lives lost....the heros...the survivors. Its politics as usual.

Tomorrow is 9/12 and back to business as usual......I hope not.

I saw Comeback Kid last night....

You know when you watch a movie that has some cool band playing a party. You know what I am talking about Good Charolette playing a prom, Letters to Cleo playing at a high school....etc.

Last night was Marshall and Alicia's friend Hutchs birthday and his birthday party consisted of the roof of a local restaurant, food, booze and COMEBACK KID!!!

It was a once in a lifetime event.... something that does not happen everyday. It was one of the best nights I have had in a really long time. Alot of people that I care about were there - I can not seem to find the words to explain what a good time I had....Thanks Hutch!

Sittingt here watching Anthony Bourdaine and thinking about getting home.... Lot on my mind. Looking forward to getting home to my family, starting to make plans for the December toy drive at the Youth For Christ center.... I want Sleeping Giant or Braveheart. As always all I am looking for another to share Christ with the kids in Dinuba.

Picked up the new book by Mark Driscoll "Religion Saves and Nine other misconceptions". It is based off of a series of sermons he did some time ago....Good book so far especially since I had only heard some of the sermons when they posted them on-line.

Reading book of Hebrews right now.... chapter 11. Will probably read it multiple times before I go to the next chapter for book.
