After being tempted in EVERY way by Satan for 40 days Jesus begins His earthly ministry in Luke 4:14.  Then the "ministry" begins... "And He came to Nazareth, where He has been brought up (His hometown).  And as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day..."  Can I take a time out here for a second and just say that if going to church every Sunday was good for Jesus it's good for us... ok, time in. "and He stood up to read.   And   the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,  “The Spirit of the Lord   is upon me,  because he has anointed me   to  proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captive  and   recovering of sight to the blind,  to set at liberty those who are oppressed,  to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”   And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the atten...

So the other day we spent all day with Green's school doing a fun school retreat.  The theme of the retreat was "Follow Me" based on Matthew 16:24, Matthew 19:21, Matthew 4:19, Matthew 9:9, John 1:43-45 and John 13:12-14 .  We started off with some worship and then the rest of the day was filled with fun team challenges based on this theme.  Kristy and I had the challenge called "The Mine Field".  Now with this challenge each team of students were split into groups of two.  One student was blindfolded ( really well no cheating allowed! ) and the other student acted as a guide through the mine field.  The only rule was the the student guiding the other student could not touch the blindfolded student.  If the blindfolded student touched a mine they not only did they lose a limb but they had to start over.  It was so interesting watching these kids try to figure out the best way to help their blindfolded partner get through the mine field.  ...

So a couple weekends ago we decided as a family to go to the place where I proposed to Kristy and show Greenlee where it all went down... That place was Lover's Leap at Natural Bridge here in Kentucky.  For those of you that know me I am "indoorsy" as Jim Gaffigan says.  So I was hoping when I proposed over 11 years ago that I would never have to go back there again... like ever.  But Greenlee really wanted to go see where I proposed and where her Mommy said yes.  It also doesn't hurt that Kristy will climb a mountain at the drop of a hat.  So we took off for the day and went to Natural Bridge. When we got there it was really muddy.  In fact there were numerous times we had to get off the trail ( which led to tons of bug bites for me ) in order to stay clear of the mud.  There was one time in particular where Kristy went through and then she was trying to explain to our 6 year old daughter how to navigate best through the mud.  At one point I ...
