Everyone please pray for the Smith & Power family tomorrow during Jim Smith's memorial service. I loved Jim Smith. He was a tremendous positive influence early in my Christian life several years ago. I so enjoyed his company, comraderie, and broad sense of humor. I will miss him, but I know God has gained such a great man for His Kingdom.

Blair's deployed for the last time. He left Nov 2nd for the Mediterrean Sea side of the Suez Canal. Pray his ship will not have to go through the Canal to the Persian Gulf on this deployment. He should be back home by the end of May '08. And then a few short months after that he'll complete his 4 yr active duty commitment. I can't believe his ( Read more... )

Kristen, can it be...you're 22 now! Well, you have been a welcome addition to the Lapwing family. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Terri just asked me what I was doing...I told her I was sending you a 22nd birthday greeting...Terri's reply "Wow, she's old!" Eloquent!

Terri and I are in need of prayer...prayer for wisdom and guidance. We've been approached to be Co-Presidents of Paden's high school Vocal Music Association (i.e. Choir booster club). It's a tremendous honor for a number of reasons...Burbank High School's Show Choir is well regarded nationally. As new comers to the sunny Sou. Calif, to be ( Read more... )

We're headin' to Chi-town tomorrow morning. What a whirlwind weekend we have planned. Paden's flying to Chicago with his highschool show choir to compete against 10+ other midwest high school show choirs. They get to play on Michigan Ave. tomorrow afternoon...shop and Sight See...maybe even visit Navy Pier...good times. Terri's completing her ( Read more... )

"I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!"

Yeah baby,...The Stones...3rd row tix this Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. It'll be Paden and me rockin' with Mick and the boys.

Yep...the Who concert was friggin' fantastic. And I was very surprised to see a very broad demographic of folks attending. There were kids, teenagers, college students, young marrieds and old farts (like me) that came. I think even Paden enjoyed the show...even though he may have been embarrassed having to go with his old man. The Who opened ( Read more... )

Paden and I are going to the Who Concert in just a little over two hours. I can't wait. And...I can't believe this will be my first time seeing 'em! Also, it'll be our first time to see an event at the Hollywood Bowl. I hope it'll be as great as I'm anticipating!

much love to all!
