Concerning those who have fallen asleep...
God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus...
We will by no means precede those who are asleep...
The dead in Christ will rise first....
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
And thus we shall always be with the Lord...
Together Forever...

Join me tomorrow morning at Mangia Bene Restaurant for a great breakfast and fellowship with the Combined Men's Ministry. Breakfast is at 7:45 with Worship followed by Gayle Erwin giving the message. Great way to start the New Year! It is $10 at the door, but better to make reservations for $9 and guarantee a seat. If any one needs a ride or wants to car pool give me a call or email (scmcqueen@cox.net).
.God Bless!

Taking a break from virtuality, so the blog will be on hiatus . Going to spend some time getting closer to Him.
Have a Happy New Year everyone, today is a good day to start a new beginning:
Read the Bible!

Wow! What a project. My son got a Lego Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser for Christmas. It had 1170 pieces and not one was missing! It was quite therapeutic; it sparked my imagination and reminded me of the hours upon hours I use to get lost in my own Lego years ago, it was an exercise in patience and perseverance to get it done right and follow directions, and when completed gave quite a sense of accomplishment as you can see in Daniel's smile. But most importantly, it gave me hours with my son; just being together and doing something as father and son. Yeah, the Lego may have cost a bit of money, but the memories with my son are priceless. I don't care how rich or poor we are as far money goes and for me it could have been sticks and rocks held together with chewing gum. What matters to me is cherishing these gifts God has entrusted to me and creating memories of family that will endure long after this "ship" is gone (and I'm not talking about the Lego). I am not going to be the absentee father I once was. So now it is time to get off this computer and go spend some time making breakfast for my kids: Even if it is just toast together, its better than steak and eggs apart.
p.s. I miss you mom, thanks for all your unfailing love and commitment to your children. I just wish I had learned to live it sooner.

(Amazing, I'm near deaf and still need hearing protection to read; quirky old man.)
Let me read for a while, I'll need the rest (and a church service) to get ready for the Lego Giant Battle Ship Galactic Super Colossal Million Piece Thingy with Daniel later tonight ( give me patience Lord!). I'll post a picture when we finish it.
But like I said, I got some things I really wanted; some great books and ear muffs to quiet the distractions. And I got a cool journal from my daughter to jot down some of those things that I need to remember. I've already finished The Pursuit of God and I'm starting on The Radical Cross , I really like Tozer's insight. I think I will start The Pilgram's Progress sometime when I can sit for the whole day and take it in (sounds like a day to go fishing in the hills). But the Cambridge Leather Bible is one I bought for myself and it is built for a lifetime of reading and learning, one day at a time.
But I do still have one Bible on my want list, I don't know why, I just want it! Its the R.A. Allen ESV Readers Edition in dark brown Goatskin. The only US distributor/importer is www.evangelicalbible.com . Maybe someday, for now I'll try to keep my envy in check.
