Sometimes we need reminding

So, this past Sunday, our pastor reminded us that the best way to learn is to teach what you are learning.

I've been reading some James tonight. In reading some backgound info, I was reminded that he didn't actually believe in his brother as the Messiah until after the resurrection. Can you imagine being Jesus and not having your own brother believe you are who you say you are? Anyways, reading through a book I've read time and time again, but this time something different stuck out. So, since the best way to learn is to teach:

Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil excess, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
James 1.21

Unexpected WalMart

So, as always, WalMart was totally crowded on my Saturday afternoon. So, I had to park a long way away. Which was totally fun. Burned a few calories. But as I was walking in and passing by all the cars, I noticed one with a bumper sticker that said this:

So many Christians
So few lions

Yeah, so that's probably enough said. Needless to say it brought a few tears to my eyes.

Roadtrip to Hotlanta

The first weekend of the New Year all of DAXKO headed off for our annual retreat. We actually had no idea where we were going till we got on the bus and headed out of town. It was a total surprise. We spent half the day Friday and most of the day Saturday hanging out, meeting as teams, hearing from our CEO, and team building. There were lots of laughs.

Friday night we had an AutoBond race. We had to build a car with PVC pipe and duct tape and then race it around the room. My team won!


my team and our winning car-it didn't look like much, but it was fast!

Saturday night we went to Andretti's in Atlanta. Again we competed, but this time in real race cars, well the go cart kind. My team didn't win this team. But we had a blast anyways.
