Last week was long and tiresome...but good in a number of ways. 


Five Best Things from the Past Week:

1. Laura's good news from the Cardiologist...AND...she took her LMFT test (results to come soon).
2. 65 degrees on Sunday afternoon...so I got in nine holes of golf (and three birdies!) 
3. The Predators taking 2 of 3 in Canada - they're keeping me interested in this season...hanging by a thread!
4. Good weekend with my Mom and Mother-in-law who both celebrated birthdays.  Saturday was busy...but good!
5. Connect group went well on Sunday morning - we had a great class discussion time.

Five Worst Things from the Past Week:

1. Looking for a lake house for a family reunion in Hot Springs, AR...what a hassle!
2. My work schedule...yuck!
3. No snow...just a slushy mess from the "wintry mix" we seem to always get.
4. Getting schooled in Wii bowling by my 5 year old.  Ugh.
5. The $900 Billion stimulus package.  Only 13% of the money will possibly lead to job creation and economic growth according to the congressional budget office.  Surely we can spend our money more wisely than this!

Quote of the Week:

Michael Scott - "The Office"

"Presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It is like this tangible thing that you can point to and say, 'Hey man, I love you this many dollars-worth'."


Bible Passage of the Week:

John 10:1-10

 1"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." 6Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

 7Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.^[a] He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
