Fun on Sunday!

I just saw something that I have not done in a while.  There is a lady at church named LaShawnda, a nice lady who graduated from OBC not too long ago.  She works in one one of the Jr. Church classes(i think), and/or a Sunday School class. While she is taking the little girls to the restroom, or walking them outside, I like to tell the the girls that Miss LaShawnda is a vampire, and if the lights all turn off, they need to run!   It is just as much fun to watch their eyes pop out of their heads as it is to see LaShawnda get irritated.  After thinking about it, there seems to be a vampire craze on television here lately, so I'll probably not do it any more, but it sure was fun while it lasted!

No More Mondays!

The other day, my wife went to the library and got a book for me to read entitled, "No More Mondays."  Dave Ramsey recommends this book, as well as another, "48 Days to the Work You Love," both by Dan Miller.  I have only started on the first one, and am really enjoying it.  I've learned quite a bit so far, and really believe that I will learn a lot more.  I recommend that if you have an opportunity, check these out(or just buy them), and read them.  Not only will you learn ways to enjoy your work better, but will get ideas on how to find something you will enjoy if the former is not possible.   ---  just an idea.

Officially voted the worst dining experience ever(By me)!!!

A few months ago, Sandra(my wife) and I went with a friend of ours to a restaurant here in OKC called Lin's.  When we went, we did nothing but praise the place as a great restaurant.  It looks like a very expensive place to eat, and overall is kept very clean, but. . .   We went tonight.  We'll never go again.  The food was the worst in Chinese I have ever eaten.  Some of the food was cold, other items were old(although still hot), and overall very unimpressive!

They have very quickly made it to my "Never again" list.

Sandra and I love Chinese food, and eat it regularly(not always eat out--she can cook a mean Chinese meal too!).  I don't recommend it.

Flying Car! Production to begin Summer 2011!

The son of martyred missionary, Nate Saint, has developed a car that is also a boat, plane, and ATV!  Starting at $80,000, he intends for it to be used on the mission field for medicine and other such things.  An amazing invention if you ask me!  Click on the title to read the article and watch a couple of video clips.  You will enjoy this!

The Bus Ministry Really does Work!!!

A good friend of mind, David Oldenkamp asked me to watch this video, and it really stirred me up.  Sometimes people get discouraged and wonder if what they are doing for God really does have an impact on other people's lives.  It does.  May this video be an encouragement to you as it was to me.  Click on the title, or the link below to watch the video.  It is a long one(about 15 Min.) and is high enough quality to watch full screen.  If you have a slow connection, you may want to let it sit for a few minutes and download all the way.  Let me know what you think!

Cat. . . Or Alien!!!???

I know Aliens and Martians aren't real(except Marvin the Martian), but every time I take a picture of our cat, his eyes glow a mysterious green!  It is really pretty funny!  Even the red eye reducing flash with which I took this picture doesn't help at all.  I just thought that someone might get a laugh out of the eyes.

Final Update of the OBC Chapel!

The third picture probably gives the best idea of the coloring of the chapel.  (That is also my wife, Sandra, and Mrs. Harding standing in the doorway!)

Strange leaves in my back yard.

I found these in my back yard next to the house today, and can't seem to find anything like them online!  They look nice, but they seem to grow very quickly because they haven't been there long.  I thought for a while that they might be the Mile a Minute Weed, but the leaves are backwards for them to be that.  There are three leaves, all connected to the stem at the acute angle of the triangle.  Any ideas?

An Interesting fact about insurance.

We had a man over to our house last night to help us get signed up for a good life insurance policy.  You don't want anything but term life insurance.  Only with term are you guaranteed the amount that you are paying for.  With all the other types, the insurance company keeps a large chunk of it. 

While he was here, he mentioned to us something that we didn't know that goes for all types of insurance, life, health, etc.  If you do not have an agent, and something happens to you, then no one can represent you to the insurance company.  I don't know all of the details of how exactly it works, but I do know that if you want representation, you must have an agent.

It was interesting to note.

The New OBC Chapel!

Today was an exciting day!  The very first service in the new OBC chapel was one that was as special, and unforgettable as any services I have ever attended in that room.  There were new coins given that were specially made for OBC graduates, Bro. Bob Macy(Retired OKC district Attorney) was given an honorary doctorate, and the melodies also sang!

Here are a few photos that I took of the completed auditorium.  The chairs are not in yet, so you will not see the new ones, these are only borrowed from the high school, and the cafeteria.
