Saturday Night in Louisiana

"This Auburn-LSU thing. I want you to to know something. It's not normal."

Well, the LSU vs Auburn game Saturday night in Baton Rouge was another incredible match-up for these two schools with LSU pulling off the win with 00:01 remaining on the game clock.

Louisiana also experienced another big win last night, in my opinion, with Bobby Jindal (Rep) being elected as governor of the state. Jindal, the son of parents who immigrated from India is a great example of the American Dream.

"In America and here in Louisiana, the only barrier to success is your willingness to work hard and play buy the rules. - Bobby Jindal

Faster Than The Speed of Life

Oct 2007

Last Saturday night Ashley went with a couple girlfriends to the Homecoming Dance at GBHS. The days are passing quickly and my baby is all grown up. I also know in a few short months she should be starting college at the University of Central Florida (UCF) and Tammy & I will be embarking on a new phase of this journey called life.

What Will You Do?

Last week I spent 3 days in Atlanta, Ga attending Catalyst 2007. I had the opportunity to hear some really great speakers (Rick Warren, Dave Ramsey, John Maxwell, Francis Chan, Shane Clairborne, Patrick Lencioni, Leonard Sweet, Rick McKinley, Mark Batterson to name a few) talk about a variety of subjects impacting the Church and the spread of the gospel. In all honesty I am still experiencing a bit of information overload and am still processing what I heard. Couple the conference experience which ended Friday with watching the LSU v UF Florida game Saturday night and I am definitley overloaded.

The best summary for the conference I have at the moment was the saying on the t-shirts worn by the Catalyst volunteers, "What Will You Do?" I pray that in a week, month or year when I reflect on the question "What Will You Do?" I can at look back and see that I have done something.
