Well, I’m back from West Virginia. Had a nice couple of days there. Max and I had a good time together. He listened to The Magic Tree House, Just So Stories (Rudyard Kipling), Geronimo Stilton and Stink (Junie B. Jones little brother) on his I-Pod. Apparently he spent most of his time with The Magic [...]

Here’s this week’s copy of the e-letter that will go out to all GCF’ers on Friday morning . . .
Goodmorning GCF’ers,

Straight to the Hips (actually the waist)

A few years ago there was a relatively well-known commercial for Special-K cereal. The add featured blue-collar, middle class men saying things like, “Do these jeans make my hips look big?” The idea behind the add was that men don’t talk about things like that. Consequently, if women would only buy and eat Special K [...]

Well, I was supposed to leave for West Virginia in about 45 minutes with Max to go and pick up an LCD-TV that my parents bought for us. Thanks, Mom and Dad! Unforunately, I got a call at about 9am that Max had thrown up at school.
I picked him up, got him some Motrin and [...]

We are about three weeks away from starting a new series of messages at GCF. Called, The Anchor, this series will be based on Hebrews 6.16-18 and will take us through 6 weeks of talking about hope.

If you’re from somewhere further north than Lexington, Kentucky feel free to ridicule and laugh as you read on . . .
Seldom do we have a serious snow fall here in central Kentucky. I’ve lived here for 10 years and have seen nothing like the snowfalls I can remember growing up in West Virginia. We [...]

At the recommendation of a friend, I began iGoogling while on vacation. The custmoized home pages that iGoogle creates for you are a lot of fun. I usually spend some time checking out stories and other interesting stuff each day . . . looking for sermon illustrations.
On my iGoogle news page today I checked out [...]

Disney’s Wall-e

I promised some comments on Disney/Pixar’s Wall-E after seeing it on Saturday with Max and my father-in-law.
The Plot: The earth has been totally trashed by over-indulgent humans who have fallen prey to the parasitic onslaught of “Buy-in-Large”; a large conglomerate that is obviously intended to make us think of Walmart. Wall-e is the last remaining [...]
