It's hard to believe that it has been over a week since I entered a weblog. Wow! Where does the time go? It has been busy around here. The quarter is coming to an end so that means that there are a lot of assignments, projects and tests in the next two weeks. My motto: One assignment at a time. Tomorrow I will start to work on assignments due next week.

For the Emerging Trends class I will be doing a project on the Praiseworks Corps which is located in Orange, CA. My family and I have attended the Praiseworks Corps a total of three times (two times recently and one time a year or more ago.) I think that they have an exciting ministry there. I look forward to compiling all the information together. God is working at the Praiseworks Corps.

Since I am off for Outreach Ministries this week, I am hoping to spend some extra time with my boys. This weekend we may take them to the Whale of a Day. I'm really looking forward to a relaxing weekend. The weather has been beautiful! I eat lunch with my youngest son outside and we really have a lot of fun. (He tries to talk to Nemo when we look at the ocean.)

Well, my goal for tonight was to finish up two homework assignments and to get to bed a little earlier than the past few nights. So to meet that goal, I must say good-night.

P.S. I tried to scan the Rev magazine article about LifeChurch, but being the non-techie that I am it didn't work. I guess I'll have to either ask a professional techie for help or get the article to the Trends class the old-fashioned way. (Hey, at least I know how to blog now.)

Happy Valentine's Day. Here is a special Valentine for each of you:

For God So LoVed the world,

       that He GAve

              His onLy

            BegottEn

                    SoN

                        That whosoever

        Believeth In Him

            Should Not Perish,

         But have Everlasting life. John 3:16

Now, look at all the bold letters and what do they spell?...VALENTINE. You see God has given us the best Valentine's Day gift that could ever be given and that is His Son Jesus.

If you know Jesus, celebrate His love today (and tomorrow). If you do not know Jesus, I would enjoy to introduce Him to you.

Lots of love!

Hip Hip Hurrah! Last night I completed one of my overdue book reviews. Now I have one to go! I must remember that "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13)
