I hope you've had a great beginning to your new year. We had a wonderful time of fellowship on New Year's Eve up at the church, starting at 9:00PM. We had several folks bring their Wii games and we set up 5 stations, which was a lot of fun! We were going to show a movie, but everyone was enjoying the fellowship so much that we never got around to it. I figured we'd be out of there shortly after midnight but it was around 2:00AM before we left. That's just how good the fellowship was (... and the food! ).

One of the things that will help you appreciate any book is if you can get a glimpse into the author's heart and intentions. I came across a link to some videos of Paul Young speaking at a church in California and I wanted to share the link. Mariner's Church has four weekend services and he spoke at all four, plus a Q&A session the Wednesday before the services for those who had read the book. In addition he shared his life story during a talk at one of the leader's homes and they recorded that. I would encourage you to take the time to view at least his testimony or the Q&A session. I think you'll be highly blessed. Here are the links:
Paul speaks the way he writes - sort of rambling, but very enjoyable. The "life story" video is 73 minutes long and the Q&A session is 97 minutes long. There's some of the same information in both but unique information as well. Pour a cup of coffee, turn your speakers up and take the time to be blessed.
I'll write more later - hopefully there will be more blog entries in 2009, making it worth your while to drop in for a visit. Thanks for your emails and comments. I appreciate the encouragement! And most of all ...
I *LOVE* serving Jesus with you!
