All Over the Map Quick Hits

Holly brought the kids up to the office yesterday. I love my kids. I'm so proud of them. I'm so grateful.

I have been thinking a lot about Holly's mom being healed lately. I have been asking the Lord more than ever for him to heal her. He can do it. I want him to. Not just for my wife, for my children as well.

I haven't been this excited about a series for as long as I can remember. I can't wait to start the Gross Income series.

I am amazed at how the Lord has surrounded me with such incredible people. I don't think He's planning on building a chicken coup.

I was telling the Lord this morning how much I can't believe how strong my marriage to Holly is after how stupid I looked the first two years. Having children has taken our marriage to a level I did not know existed. I thought it would take away some. Not even close. It has brought us even closer together.

Have you ever thought that God may put people in your life for a season but not forever? I am learning about this. It's weird.

I was in the green room this weekend when James Robison was back there. The first thing he said was "Man Preston, that was an awesome deer." Robert had already emailed him the pictures. But then he started talking about how great a father we have in God who loves to give us things we love so much just because we are doing good for no other reason than right is right and not to get anything. That was a gift. It was a fatherly moment with the Lord.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that at 29 that this is what life would look like. I am blessed. We are blessed. You are blessed.
