Sunday Evening

The photos were taken during a performance/service at a Nazarene church near our hometown last Sunday evening. A few of us attended the service presented by our friend Andrew. This past summer he was a member of the team I led to Galati, Romania. Andrew is a gifted keyboard player and he uses his talents to bring glory to God. It has been really amazing watch God work in this young man's as he is being molded into the man God desires him to be.

Happy Birthday Lila

Lunch at Red Lobster with Birthday gifts for the birthday girl.

Raechel (niece), Debbie (sister), and Danny (brother-in-law) were also present at lunch.

Oh, yes, my belated gift (from the above mentioned) a deluxe coffee maker...what a suprise gift it was, but right up my alley!

Megan (left) and Whitney (right) were in the next both, close enough to make sure their order was right. Jayce (nephew) and Dakota are ??????

The Gathering @ FBC

Tonight at FBC was the Gathering along with a skit/ talent (or lack there of, photos below) night.

If we can't see you, you can't see us!

Two thorns and a rose...you be the judge.

Guys, the toilet is across the hall!

Yes, this is our pastor...

...no words can describe this...I don't have a clue?

An Evening At Arrowhead

The field pass wrist band says it all.


Two handsome guys, Don below and me above. Don has great seats for the Chiefs games, row 6 and 7, right where the opposing team enters and exits the field.



Candid shot during the 4th quarter.


So close, I could see the whites of their eyes...and yes they are extremely large individuals!

The Last First

Today was the first day of school for our daughters, Megan and Whitney (pictured above with Nike). For Whitney it is her last, first day of high school since she will be graduating in the spring of '08. They grow up fast and I can remember not so long ago her first day of kindergarten...she is a tremendous young lady and we are excited to see what God has planned for her to do as she continues to develop day by day. Nice looking dog too, da?!

Twenty-two

Yes, El Maguey has two sombreros, as well as, plenty of whipped cream for special events and unsuspecting clientele.

The last piece of anniversary dessert, not too bad.

Nancy and Jeff, partners in crime...guilty of the above mentioned.


Our daughter, Megan, called me on my cell and informed me that our next door neighbor baked us an anniversary cake. She said she would put it in the fridge so the icing wouldn't melt...so we could see it before she carved into it. Needless to say Megan and (her little friend) Ashli couldn't possibly wait for us to get home before having some of OUR cake. Well, when we arrived home, sitting on the kitchen counter was the cake in all its splendor with a large wedge carved out and no one at home...do I sound surprised?!!
Thanks Nancy and Jeff for the dinner fun and fellowship and Dorothy for the cake...we appreciate you all very much.

I Think It's The Heat

I think the heat is getting to me as of today, here are the two reason why. Well, Einstein here (aka. me) decided to weed eat around the neighbors wild wheat plants with his sandals on. Below you can see my foot where the weed wacker's string attacked two toes and nicked the big one (1). Needless to say I had a little talk with Jesus, especially after the numbness wore off after about ten minutes. Hum, lesson number one learned (the hard way), wear shoes when you are weed eating...duh! Lesson two...at dinner tonight, David gave me what he called a spicy pepper (2) he grew in his garden. This little "pepper" was more than spicy, it was flat HOT! I think it was hotter than this green one I attempted to eat while in Romania. Lesson two learned...NEVER accept a edible vegetable from a man from India!

ps-Landon, this spicy pepper had no seeds...I think its heat is in the oils.
