Just got home from a nice relaxing weekend at the in-laws.  Good times, lots of food, lots of tv, movies, internet, naps, etc...

Thanksgiving meal has just finished and I'm trying to look busy while everyone else is cleaning up.  lol  Don't worry I'll do my part in the work.  The meal was great.  This was the second thanksgiving meal for this year.  We had one last night after the Thanksgiving Eve service.  Great night.  I loved it.  I shared some traditions and stuff from my family. Good times.

I'm definitely a xanga failure.  Oh well, I'll add it to my list for my new year's resolutions. 

Tonight was Your Big Show for RL JV.  So much fun!  I just have to say that Lena Feliz was amazing.  I took the CD home and played it for my wife.  You go girl!  You need to join the worship team and the choir. 

Crazy huh?  Next week is Thanksgiving.  Wow!  Life goes by so fast.  All the sudden I have 3 kids. 

Life lesson for the week...  You'll learn more about your weaknesses and potential attitude problems when you don't get your own way rather than when you do.  God is always looking for opportunities to purify us, to bring the dross to the surface, the impurities.  It gold being refined in the fire.  The trials (fire) are sometimes the only thing that can pufify us (remove the dross).  It's so hard to remember that or see that when you're in the midst of the fire, the trial.  You just want it to end and things to go your way. 

How do you rejoice in your trials?  I haven't really figured that one out yet.

I played in my alumni game last night up at VFCC.  Lot's of fun.  We lost 85-80.  I played well.  10-12 points or something like that.  I guess I'm in a little better shape than I thought.  I'm not feeling too bad today.  Just a little sore back. 

Tony Cruz spoke in chapel.  He did great.  Love that guy!  My basketball coach, Dan Boothman got inducted into the Hall of Fame.  Very cool.  I'm happy for him.

...still in Pittsburgh.  This morning I heard Louie Giglo speak... WOW!!!  Unbelievable!  I was so challenged by his message on worship.  Here's a little recap:  He talked about the difference between being a consumer of worship or a consumee of worship.  Basically, the difference between a giver and a taker. 

Consumer Worship:                                  Consumee Worship:
What's in it for me?                                    I'm in it for you!
What do I get?                                           What can I give?
Something I buy.                                       I have already been bought.
Downloading                                             Find you bowing down.
Style                                                           Surrender
Enjoyable                                                   Costly
My preferences                                          What does God require?
Feels good                                                  Hurts good
We use up songs                                        God uses up the singer
My choice                                                   His Will
Can't get enough                                        Always give more
Trends                                                        Eternity
Our happiness                                             Bring happiness to God
It's about me                                                Me being all about Him

I don't know about you, but I get real convicted when I read that list.  How many times have I made worship into a thing about me and not about God.
