Hey! what's that white stuff on the hill tops ?

Saturday afternoon I enjoyed about 5 minutes of hail while driving from the valley to Santa Clarita. When I reached the bottom of the Newhall Pass, I noticed the white hill tops and realized that what is was seeing may actual be hail rather than snow. I stopped by the hiking trails and asked a few hikers who confirmed that it had hailed. So that‘s my guess; its not snow but hail.

Washing Dishes

Among the myriad of opportunities to serve at the Shepherds Conference, I was given the one task I had requested not to do... washing dishes. I had a great time anyway. In fact, looking back, I don't know that I would have requested anything else. I met new friends and ate tons of food. What more could you want?




Did I forget to smile again?

Free books for 3500 pastors

Yesterday morning I helped bag books for the Shepherd’s Conference. I counted about 35 volunteers bagging 15 books for 3500 pastors. That’s 100 trips per volunteer down the book bagging isle. My feet were very tired.

Its shepherd's Conference week and time for Church Tycoon.

I used Roller Coaster Tycoon III to build Grace Church.

Here’s a few clips:

The cat and the Squirrel

A squirrel was out teasing the cats this morning. That’s all the excitement for today. No earthquakes, no floods, not even any dates.

p.s. The squirrel got away... as usual.
