We had a great launch to E4U at Mountainview – over 100 adults participated in a class during the first two sessions. To keep momentum building before the upcoming fall semester, I would like to offer a series of E4U “Super Saturday Seminars.” These would be one-time classes/seminars/workshops designed around a 3-hour format (9 AM to noon). Ideally, I would like to offer three seminars on each Saturday – each running at the same time as the others. The Saturdays I’m considering are June 19, July 17, and August 21. Would you be interested in teaching one of the Super Saturday Seminars. Here are potential topics: Healthy spiritual habits Renewing your spiritual passion Evangelism The mission of Jesus Who is the Holy Spirit?

It's been a busy week and it's only Wednesday night (Thursday morning for those of you readers on the East Coast).

And we still have children. And I've been working on a sermon I'll preach this…

Since I'm preaching on marriage in a few weeks, I thought it was funny. ***************************** Dear Tech Support , Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0 , NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1 . Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate

Beyond dribbling and jump shots, he's best known for his philosophy of coaching. Here's a good example: "Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you." -- John Wooden
