I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. It seems like yesterday was the spring storm season and now we are about to change our clocks back and get ready for Thanksgiving. The last two months always seem to just fly by. Work is usually busy and schedules get filled up pretty quick on the home front.
One thing I really can’t stand however is how early they start the Christmas displays and ad’s. This year most stores I went into had Christmas decorations up by October 15th. I’m sorry but I do believe this is way to early.
At least I have seen some of the major gifts being advertised yet, like gaming systems, dollhouses and most major electronics. I’m sure the ad’s will start appearing soon since Halloween is tomorrow.
My wife and about 13 others from our church are leaving tomorrow for a 1 week church planting mission trip to Xalapa. Mexico. They are going with next worldwide, and last night they had there last minute meeting and prayer time. Saturday morning they have to be at the airport at 4:30am, yes you read that right, 4:30 in the MORNING. And guess who gets to take a few of them to the airport, yes me..!! he he (it doesn’t bother me)
They have a quick flight to Mexico City and then a 4 hour layover.. (that should be fun, not!) and then a quick hop (less than 1 hour) to there destination. You know what would be awesome for them. If they had a private jet charter and it took them on a direct non-stop flight. Yeah that would be really awesome.
Anyways I really hope and pray that the mission trip will be a success and the other church as well as Next Worldwide and our church all come back safe and healthy.
I heard Louie Speak at Passion Dallas a couple months ago when I volunteered my weekend to help out with this event. It was an amazing time even though I didn’t hear every talk but what I did hear was amazing. This is one of those small parts of one of his speeches that you should listen to.
