By the way, this was the first time that I've heard the pledges to the flags in a long time. I forgot that I did that every day at school. I certainly understand why it is done, but it sounds kinda creepy and cultish to hear all these little kids reciting these creeds. It's probably just my own hang up but it freaked me out a little. I'm not sure why.

"I hope you have a good day"
This morning I spoke at chapel at the christian elementary school down the street from our church. After they did the pledges to the American and Christian flags and the Bible (I'd never heard the pledge to the Bible before) they had a little girl pray. Here is how she started: "Dear Jesus, I hope you have a good day." I couldn't really tell the rest of what she said because she wasn't very loud, but her opening line stuck with me. I've never heard that one before. I think I like it. Jesus, I hope you have a good day today; I will try to do my part to help that happen.

interesting article
Some one told me about this article from USA Today about religion in America. It is very interesting. I'm curious what people's thoughts are about these findings. Here is the link:

end of a season
It's been a while since I've blogged, and a really long time since I've blogged about anything besides the Super Bowl. The last couple of months have been very tiring, but very rewarding. It's amazing how God starts to move in people's lives when we take time to build relationships with people who aren't living close to God, and invite them into our communities of Christian love. There have been some pretty awesome success stories resulting from our Upward Basketball and Cheerleading season, and we'll never know the extent of the difference made in the lives of each child. Here is a highlight video from the season:
