Savannah's Birthday

It was Savannah's 15th birthday on the 31st. We went out to eat at Tomasitas - amazing mexican food - and spent some time as a family. She got some money from Uncle Jim and Aunt Jan, some flowers and Guitar Hero III for the Wii from Issac and I, and a Tony Romo Cowboys jersey from Grammy and Papa Ed. Thank you everyone for the awesome gifts! It's hard to believe that Savannah is already 15! Soon she'll be driving... yikes! We are proud of her and excited about how God will grow her this year!

Don't Waste Your Life

My favorite bible teacher, John Piper, is on a mission to encourage people not to waste their lives. One of the ways that he spreads this message is through short 1 to 3 minute videos that you can podcast on Itunes. I was encouraged to see one of my favorite hip hop artists in a 3 part series on the Don't Waste Your Life podcast. Many people don't give hip hop any kind of credit because of the negetive connotation it has in the secular world. But there is a group of Christian hip hop artists out there nowadays that is reppin for the LORD in a BIG way! Lecrae happens to be one of them. Anyway, I thought I'd post part 3 of this little interview series so that you guys could not only check out the interview, but a nice little Lecrae video that Piper posted afterwards. Go to www.dontwasteyourlife.com to see more of these short videos, or if you are an Itunes user, subscribe to the free don't waste your life podcast so you can get all the latest videos in this series. If you are a youth pastor, these ARE NOT Rob Bell videos. These are videos YOU CAN play in your youth group! Peace.
