Why?

Why are people still visiting this blog? I haven't posted in what seems like forever. This thing is breaking personal records for visits and I'm not even posting. Huh?

It just seems to be one of those seasons for me where so much is going on between the Lord and I that I'm not sure which to write about, I don't really know how to communicate it, and wouldn't have the slightest clue where to start. But man is it good.

This is just a very rich season of life for me. It seems like the Lord is turning up the excitement and activity level. I love it.

Here's a highlight for those faithful ones who have kept checking in to see if I have posted...

Last week the young adults pastor from The Potter's House (TD Jakes church) was at Seven on Tuesday night to check out what is going on for young adults this side of Shreveport. His name is Tim Ross. After the service he came up and said we needed to go to lunch and asked if I could do it the next day. We did and it was life changing. Have you ever felt like God pulled back the curtain for a moment and revealed something to you? There is entirely too much that happened that day at lunch but it was a God connection, think David and Jonathan. It is incredible what has taken place in the 7 days since we met. He actually was speaking this weekend in lieu of TD at The Potter's House so Holly and I went out there and got some serious food. It was unbelievable. God really spoke through him. He has a gift. We learned so much. Words can't express what is happening in this friendship. Never happened to me or him before. It is the Lord.

Here is the quick hits of the last 7 days

God knows everyone. He knows who you need around you. Remember, He is sovereign.
Vegas is still my favorite city in America.
Holly is pursuing me more than ever before. Does it get any better than this?
Rylie is signed up for soccer...I may be coaching her. Haven't heard back yet.
God has an all-access pass to everywhere.
Brokenness is beautiful.
Tyler is ridiculously athletic. Ridiculously. It's almost laughable.
Be careful when you say you just want to be like Jesus...you have no idea what you're asking for.
Surprising my wife is one of the greatest thrills of my life.
Crab legs are still one of my favorite reasons to go to Vegas...can you say All-You-Can-Eat.
Breakfast at the Wynn...tough to beat.
I can't remember a time where I have felt this close to the Lord...ever.
I have an insatiable appetite for the bible right now.
You can't wash your wife if your not swimming yourself...in the Word people, in the Word. Give me a break.
The stock market is worse than bloody right now. Buy more, buy now, just buy.
This was the first time I have ever felt like I fasted and experienced an immediate breakthrough.
I can't do what He created me to do. It's going to take divine intervention.
It's time for me to put the kids to bed cause that's what this daddy does.
