Deep in the mass of Dallas' concrete commercialism lies a sliver of paradise ... the Dallas Arboretum. Me, Elizabeth and the 3 A's made the trek downtown this past weekend to enjoy the final fall festivities with our good friends, the Grimey family. My 2 oldest ...Don't let me fool ya - I complained on entrance and exit. The Disney-like mob of humanity yelling at their kids and hip checking me like Sean Avery over the best pumpkin pile was distracting. But when I could open my eyes and soak the beauty in, it was quite a serene stroll through the inner city's blossom brigade.
Hidden Treasure #2
Christians from Cairo ... I met a new friend over coffee this Monday morning. His name is Michael. He hails from a Lake Pointe sister church in Egypt. As we discussed the ways of the Lord and shared our testimonies, I arrived at a moment where no words could be uttered for a few moments ... just silent reflection. What comment would cause such an instant? How about the difference between Michael and me when it comes to bringing the Gospel to the culture.
Let's skip me and go straight to Cairo ... you will be (not maybe) disowned and possibly killed for your faith. And he is at peace knowing that if he is killed, that Jesus' name will become more famous.
Perspective ... more to come on Michael later.
Hidden Treasure #3I like New Yorkers. Especially smart New Yorkers. Add in the pledge of allegiance, a prayer, current economics and some free breakfast. That equals another great morning with the Rockwall Breakfast Rotary Club. I did notice that some of the grey-beards were not so thrilled with the Federal Reserve representative's views on the historical importance and resurgence after the sub-prime mortgage implosion. The ones that spoke up sounded like the Darrell Hammond version of Sean Connery on SNL's Jeopardy spoof. Was it that Mr Duca's pill is hard to swallow or Texans would prefer not to concede to a Yankee?
Either way, thanks to Mr. Self for having me as a guest. Have I mentioned they now have black ProSoap.com t-shirts for $5?
All's well that ends well - but I aim to disappoint. So here are some transom links and a picture of the human hippo. Cheers!
