1. What a whirlwind of days it has been
2. I got to see the new Oklahoma Campgrounds yesterday and they are exceptionally impressive
3. In the past couple of days I’ve eaten at Chick-fil-a, Olive Garden, Starbucks, Abuelos and Cheescake Factory.  I think I’ve eaten way too much
4. We are still believing God for a miracle for Mindi Voss.  Pastor led us in an awesome time of prayer  in her hospital room yesterday.  I’ve never felt God’s presence in a hospital like that before.
5. Have I mentioned how glad I am that my school semester is over???
6. This morning was very hot and humid in OKC when I woke up.
7. When I went to turn on my computer this morning it said that I had 0% battery…I guess I should plug it in
8. Thank God that we can trust in Jesus
9. Go Rangers…Yu Darvish had an impressive game last night
10. I have certainly enjoyed spending time with Robyn the last few days…now I’m excited to see my kids

1. I am five pages into an eight page paper, so I guess I am due a mental break.
2. You would think that I would do something other than type right now…
3. It is hard to put yesterday into words, except to say that God’s grace is sufficient
4. The Rangers are playing really good right now…I hope they can maintain this level for an entire season and playoff run.
5. I had a great conversation with a friend on Wednesday that culminated with me telling him, “you are just going to have to accept the fact that God loves you period.”
6. I really like Psalm 18:19 where it says, “He rescued me because he delighted in me.”  I am so glad that God delights in us.
7. I am also thankful that God always has a plan.
8. It is amazing how different a backyard can look once it has been weed-eated.  Its the little things in life that make the big difference.
9. I’m really looking forward to the report from our missions team on Sunday morning and evening.  All indications are that they have had a great (but hot and humid) time in Panama.
10. I am also curious to see if Cody Plunkett brings home a girlfriend…
11. Yesterday marked the anniversary of the OKC bombing…it is important to never forget!
12. I had a great run with Ryan last night, just him and me with a basketball, lots of dribbling and passing.
13. Have a great weekend…

1. Rangers WIN!  18-3.  That sounds like a football score doesn’t it?
2. Just finished teaching leadership school…Pastor writes the best lessons, it makes them so easy to teach.
3. I tried the new Subway Chicken sandwich for lunch and it was good.
4. Last night I was able (meaning I had the time) to weed eat for the first time all year.
5. I am very excited about seeing my Kindergarteners tomorrow morning.  It should be a fun day.
6. It is hard to believe that my day is half over already…I still have much to accomplish
7. Summer at M1A intimidates me.  Just looking at the calendar makes me nervous
8. Today I choose to believe.  In life you have to come to the point where you either believe that God is who He is and can do what He says He can do, or you don’t.  Today I choose to believe.
9. I need to run.  I haven’t run since last week.  
10. I owe you one

1. This is my first post since last Wednesday…that seems like it was just yesterday…so many highlights since then.
2. I enjoyed spending time with my family on Friday night, even it was brief.  We got to go eat at Mac’s in Fort Gibson with the Carters after Ryan’s soccer game.
3. Saturday was a whirlwind of activity.  The day began with the Muskogee Run.  Big props to the interns for winning the $200 prize for #1 water stop.  After the run I hurried to the church to send off the missions team.  Then I hurried back to the mall to help Robyn and her office with their float in the parade.  After the parade I rushed to the church for the Healthy Church Network conference and finally around 4:30 I collapsed on the couch at home.
4. Sunday was awesome.
5. Yesterday I went to Oklahoma City to visit Mindi Voss and her family.
6. Everytime I think of Mindi I am thinking the words “Miracle Mindi”  because I am believing God for another miracle for Mindi.
7. At the hospital I had to opportunity to pray with Mindi and sing to her and read scripture in her room.  We believe that she will be made whole.
8. I enjoyed lunch with Stephen Smalley and Jim & Austin Voss.  Good food, but even better people.  Jim is quickly climbing into my “hero” category.
9. Because I left OKC so late I decided to surprise my kids and come home through Tulsa.  I was able to meet them for dinner after their piano lessons and then we went to Chick-fil-a for dessert.  Yesterday CFA debuted their new desserts and we were able to score an invitation to the unvielin
10. 
11. Yes!  It is that good!
12. 
13. That was a tremendous highlight yesterday, but one of the best moments of the day was getting to Skype with Cody, Mike and Pastor!  It was awesome to see and hear them and get a report of all that God
14. Hope you have a great day!  Looking forward to the Rangers game tonight against the Red Sox and I’m expecting great things today.
15. Continue to pray for our team in Panama…there is a good chance that Cody Plunkett is reading this in Panama right now!

1. I woke up to thunder, lightning and rain around 5:30 this morning.  My thoughts immediately turned to Robert and Jackie who were probably preparing to board their flight to Panama.
2. Its amazing the things that go through your mind…”did I tell them what airline they are on?”  “Did I tell them what hotel to write on their customs declaration?”  
3. Made it all day yesterday without a coke.  Even fought through the 2-4pm Happy Hour urge.
4. Amazing performance by Neftali Feliz for the Rangers last night.  7 innings pitched and only gave up 4 hits.  Great first start of his career.
5. Sometimes trying to decide what to do is harder than finding something to do.
6. Today makes 18 straight days that I have been at the church for one reason or another…my plan is to break my streak tomorrow.
7. I am very thankful for Ryan’s soccer coach, Sam Carter.  He is a great coach and an even better friend.
8. Outside of Texas Rangers baseball I haven’t watched much TV lately, but I must confess that I hate commercials so much that I will often pause the DVR and wait until the commercials are over.
9. I read Revelation 5:9 this morning and it really encouraged me…”…because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.”
10. It feels as though the day is closing in on me, therefore I must go about my task…
11. A special hello to Jennifer Andrews who gets email updates every time I post a new blog!  One day I’m gonna post like 17 blogs just to blow up her inbox!!!

1. I wish that the good people who work at the post office would realize that I do not know as much about mail as they do and not make me feel like a moron every time I walk in.  Just have some patience and help me
2. I guess there is a reason behind the term “going postal”
3. I was very intrigued by Yu Darvish’s first start for the Rangers last night.  He had a rough start but he showed some promise…its important to remember that he is a rookie.
4. Last night was a much needed family night, and Ted’s was a great meal as always
5. Leftovers from Ted’s made for a great meal today as well.
6. Things have been hectic today because of the team leaving for Panama this week.
7. I need to mow my backyard today
8. I really want a cherry coke, but I am strongly resisting right now
9. Looking forward to helping out with the Muskogee Run this weekend.  It should be a great event, and I hope for a good turnout.
10. How in the world is it already 3:30pm????  Gotta go…

1. The week that was…my brain feels like spaghetti but I’ll try to recap
2. I made 5 videos last week…I’m not sure if that’s my record, but it is close
3. I am grateful to God that Mindi Voss is stable, although she is considered “critically ill.”
4. I am praying for Mindi’s complete healing and restoration and I am asking God that the Doctors would be completely blown away by her progress.
5. I ran a half-marathon on Saturday morning with Daniel Basden.
6. Just to be clear I didn’t run half a marathon.  I ran a half-marathon.  When someone says you ran half a marathon it makes it sound like you quit or didn’t finish.  Also, I am not a “jogger” I am a runner and yes, I know that my run looks like a jog.
7. Immediately after this picture we went to Chick-fil-a for milkshakes.
8. I enjoyed a great Easter lunch and egg hunt with wonderful friends and family yesterday!
9. The show is over…I am really going to miss hanging out backstage, eating dinner (provided by the Ballard family) with the cast and crew before the show and not having to wear a costume.
10. Our missions team leaves for Panama on Saturday.  (Robert and Jackie leave Wednesday for prep work)  Pray for our team!
11. I am so glad that Jesus is alive!

1. What a week this has been
2. I am more convinced of the power of prayer now that I’ve ever been in my life
3. I waver back and forth between excitement and anxiety as I think about tomorrow morning’s half-marathon in Jenks
4. So glad that today is opening day for the Rangers…I’m ready to forget about last year.
5. Luckily I was able to cover the lines I flubbed last night and I hope no one noticed.
6. The kids are out of school today and getting some much needed down time.
7. Ryan and I had a good time at his class field trip yesterday…hot dogs, fishing, horseback riding and a hayless hayride made for a great day!
8. Its not really that hard to believe that this week is almost over…next Monday night I plan on doing NOTHING
10.  This is what my office looks like on Easter week.  Lots of videos to edit
11. Happy Easter

1. I’ve been without my computer since last Wednesday…its kinda like being in a foreign country, except every foreign country I’ve been in has internet.
2. Very interesting to see the Pope in Cuba last week.  He held mass at a Cathedral that we visited on our trip last March.
3. Yesterday was a great service…Pastor’s message spoke to a lot of people, and the baptisms were awesome
4. Our new text to screen technology worked, but not as perfectly as I would have liked
5. Daniel Basden was a great help in setting up the text to screen
6. By this time next week Easter will be over.
7. Singing over Mindi Voss at the hospital last week was an amazing experience.
8. The OKC Thunder are playing extraordinarily well
9. I pulling for Kansas tonight in the Championship game, but I think Kentucky will win.  Either way its going to be a good night for schools that begin with K.
10. My family really enjoyed dinner with the Ballards on Saturday night.
11. Until the next time that I can find an internet connection

1. Our A/C went out last night, which makes for an eventful evening.  As a remedy, Basden and I drove to the church and got the fan from my office.  We left the fan in my car and ran back to my house.  Then we got in his car and drove back to the church. 
2. If you wanna be a runner you have to get creative with your runs.
3. This morning I got the air fixed.
4. Now the screen on my laptop is broken, so I am preparing to go to the Apple Store in Tulsa.
5. When it rains it pours.
6. As inconvenient as these items are, they are “light and momentary troubles that are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” – 2 Corinthians 4:17
7. I realized today that baseball season is right around the corner.  I am still recovering from the Texas Rangers World Series heartbreak of last year…
8. I am beginning to love Peanut Butter Cheerios!  When I was a kid I loved Honey Nut Cheerios.
9. To win people to the Lord, you have to be strategic and intentional in your relationships.
10. In Tulsa this afternoon I will face a critical decision.  To Chick-fil-a milkshake or not to Chick-fil-a milkshake?
