So I'm now accepting guesses on what my next series of blog post are going to be. What? That's right I'm about to start posting a series of post that all go together in some way. Anyone care to make guesses as to what it'll all be about?

That's Good
I don't usually just copy and paste from another person's blog and put it on my own but this was good. I got this from Pastor Mark's blog about Politically Correct vs. Biblically Correct.
"For what it's worth...whenever I have to have a tough conversation with someone where I have to confront an issue, I almost always reference John 1:14 where it says Jesus was full of grace and truth.
Grace means I'll love you no matter what. Truth means I'll be honest no matter what. Grace without truth is weak and shallow! Truth without grace is counter-productive. But grace and truth is a Christlike combo that will impact people!"
Like I said I don't usually do something like this but if I had been in a service where he had said this out loud I would have said, "Oh, that's good." And something we need to remember. A lot of us avoid confrontation at all cost. Others of us come on too strong. It's hard to find a "happy medium" for such an uncomfortable situation. But it seems like this would be as good as you can get.

What's up
So this past weekend was Chi Alpha's Winter Conference. Many of you were praying for it so I thought I'd offer a little info about what went down. It was the largest retreat we've ever had. There were 340 people there. We were overflowing and had to actually get a couple of hotel rooms to for the extra people. Awesome! Dick Foth was our speaker and he really hit the nail on the head on felt. He spoke about who God is and who he wants to be in our lives. It was really powerful. It was kind of a back to basic time. Dick told some really amazing stories both funny and moving. As far as weather goes it was also really freezing cold but unlike last year when we got about 2 feet of snow it stayed dry just way cold. Also I was way lucky to have Jen there for almost the whole time. As well as Kendi and Theresa helping out on Friday night for registration. What a blessing. Thanks for all who were praying.
Then this week I was supposed to be out of town all week, however, the ice and snow caused me to cancel at least part of my work plans.
But what I'm currently looking forward to is this coming weekend. That's right! This weekend I am headed home for Mardi Gras. I haven't been down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras in 3 years now. But before those 3 years I had never missed a Mardi Gras in 23 years. Seriously my first Mardi Gras I was at I was only 4 months old give or take a few weeks. Should be lots of fun and I'm also really excited to take Jen down with me. Woo Hoo! Mardi Gras weekend!

Video? What?
Okay so you don't have to watch this video but this is blowing my mind and I had to comment on this. This is a totally short uneventful video that I made for a conference that Stefa and I went to back in October. It's only 21 secs long if you do want to watch it. Here's the crazy thing though...it has a 180+ hits on it. It makes NO SENSE. And the only tag for it is bling. And I have other bling videos and they have like 7 hits. I feel like something so odd is going on and I really can't figure out why it has so many hits.
Anyway, I found it crazy strange and thought I'd share. Anybody have any thoughts on why it's been watched so many times?

Happy Groundhog's Day
Looks like spring will be early this year. First time since 1999. Amazing...oooo...aaaaa.
Groundhog Facts
GROUNDHOGS:
are also called woodchucks, marmots or whistle pigs
are mammals and belong to the squirrel family
usually have grayish brown fur and bushy tails
can grow to be two feet from head to tail and weigh 5-14 pounds
live in burrows underground which can have more than one entrance
are herbivores - that means they eat plants like grass, clover, and alfalfa.
hibernate, like some other animals, during the winter to avoid the cold weather
communicate danger by making a loud whistling sound
have several enemies, including foxes, bobcats, and humans.
are said to be able to predict the weather
have a holiday named after them - Groundhog Day - because of this special "ability" to forecast weather.
Now you know and knowing is half the battle.
Yo Joe!
