Snow and Ice

Well, I am finally recovered from the Florida trip. It is NOT a restful vacation. It was fun to go and watch my daughter just light up whenever she met one of the princesses. It was a tiring and fulfilling trip.

I got to meet Erik from the ETC show in iTunes. He brought his family and some of the other people from the show (Matt and Andrew). It was just a great time. Ususally when I meet people for the first time, there is that sense that I need to be on my best behavior and just be careful about being me. Not this time, it was like I was reuniting with some old friends. The evening was just comfortable and enjoyable. I can't wait to do it again.

It snowed in Memphis while we were gone. I hate that I missed it. I love to play in the snow with my oldest. It is just a blast. However this past weekend, we had ice all over the ground. It was nothing but freezing rain and sleet for about 15 hours. Part of it melted on Saturday, but refroze because the temperature got down to 15 degrees on Saturday night. I just pretty much stayed in all weekend.

I am reading a new book. I am so ADD that I just can't read one at a time. This one is called Bad News Religion. It is the story of a guy that came out of a legalistic cult to fully embrace the message of God's grace. It has been interesting to read his take on legalism and the various masked forms that it comes in. I truly agree with his statement that all forms of legalism are an offense to God's grace.

Till next time.

Jeff,
Hiya! Came to your website and read through some of your blogs. Seems that you are staying honest and that is what it is about. I enjoyed our conversation at Karate. You were very easy to talk to and open up to. Thanks for letting me hear your story. Keep blogging. I will keep checking!
