Greetings!  Yes, I am still in the blog world although just barely. 

So, I went to Promise Keepers in Dallas last weekend with some guys from our small group from church.  It was at the American Airlines Center (where the Mavs and Stars play.)  First up, the conference itself was pretty nice...in other words it was worth going to.  Joe White (Kanakuk) and Steve Ferrar (Point Man, etc.) were my two favorite speakers along with a guy named Erwin McManus.  McManus started a church called Mosaic in the LA area.  (Pete - you heard of it/him?)  I picked up his book, Uprising, which I will be reading through over the coming weeks.  I think it is another Wild at Heart-type books, so don't be surprised if you see me blogging more about climbing mountains and racing speeding trains and such in the near future. 

We are ready for the 3 day weekend this weekend for sure.  We're planning on going to hear some live music at the Nutty Brown Cafe in Dripping Springs, and the next day we are going to Wimberley to see my parents and to go to the Wimberley Rodeo.  I have always wanted to go out during the mutton bustin' so I can show those amateurs how it's really done.  We might try to catch Spiderman 2 sometime as well. 

Speaking of movies, has anyone out there seen Fahrenheit 9/11?  I'd be interested to hear some of your thoughts about it.  I have not seen it yet and I'm not sure if I will or not.  I just don't like seeing movies/documentaries that give such a one-sided view of such a huge issue.  I'd rather see something that balances more of the issues, because I think we all know the movie will not tell the whole story.  It is kind of like taking scripture out of context.  You can pick and choose a passage and make it mean just about anything you want it to.  But to fully understand what the entire picture is, you must understand the context of everything else there and surrounding that passage.  Know what I mean?
