Working on the Dash

Traveled this week and it was a beautiful afternoon as we went up in the air and when you get to about 30,000 feet even on a rainy day...it is sunny. You always hear people say that the clouds look like puffy cotton balls and it always a reminder of me of the wonderful way the Lord made this world.
Today I went to a friend at work's mother's funeral and once again discussed with my wife on the way home how different my funeral will be.
I really want it to be a celebration.

Because I will be in heaven!

So the music will be a little different than most funerals and the wake music even more fun. You know several Kingdom favorites and then some Drum and Bugle corps. (I have two friends that if they are there, they would hear the first few notes and go...good year, good choice)

Music has been a big part of my life.

But, right now I am working on the dash........ 1963-
There is much to do and little time. A chance to make a difference first in my four children's lives and my wife. Then work and church to impact the world as an Ambassador of Christ.
Let's talk about that as we move into the month of March. Right now as the year is moving forward ARE YOU? Have you made clear goals to improve relationship areas with your wife? Have you worked to love your children more? Show them Christ in You? Have you been making a difference in your workplace? Are you doing the same in your church? and your community?
Where is your time going? Does it need an alignment? They are trying to use old mapping to take part of Georgia from Tennessee because they (Atlanta) need more water. Is something taking away time from where you feel you need to be?
Leading your home? Being a performer on your job that your manager says I wish I had 10 of you!? Sit down and re-evaluate today. Make small plans of engagement with those you know you need to engage, plans and dreams you have for Christ and begin. Where is Christ working around you and join Him!

We will check in about two months and see where we are.

Well, something new for the web. The Seattle Supersonics have the first all FLASH web page....look for this to trend to other places:

Always look at Lost Remote to the left to see the newest trends in media as well.

Well, Tuesday will be the most interesting day we have had in politics in America in a long time. The media was so upset with itself for giving the Bush Administration such a free ride on going into Iraq and here they are again so mesmorized with Obama that they are doing the same.
Today Obama blamed the economy on Bush. How sad. It just shows how little the man knows about the economy. But you know Bush is an easy target isn't he? You won't see any republican leadership on television tonight or in the future defending him. They are like little puppies right now.
McCain's choice of VP is what is intriguing and the timing has to be right too.
If I remember right, the Dems meet in July in their convention and the GOP in Sept. leaving them just 2 months to Obama's crowning by Keith Olbermann.

Just be watching what Newt Gingrinch does during this time. He knows what is ahead and is planning for a GOP rebirth. I just hope we can get some men and women to run and begin to become statesmen again.

We talked about music a little ways back and Jason Ingram is still writing some good music, he won awards this year again see here:

Leave you with another thought from Ed Cole today:
"A greater sorrow than a man not seeing a need is the man who sees it and does nothing about it. But a still greater sorrow is the man who sees the need and can do something about it but won’t. ”[ Additional Information ]


May God Bless you today!
