Tonya and the girls are in Memphis to visit her parents. Meanwhile, back on the homefront ...OK, I'm not necessarily your typical bachelor for the week kind of guy. I don't eat only off paper plates or use the same cup over and over. I have reused the same bowl and spoon for cereal, but only after washing them each time. I have shaved -- in fact, I've decided to grow my goatee back while the girls are away.But I do find that it's easier to eat out than to eat at home. After last night's planning session for LifePoint's booth at CityFest, we had left over pizza. No one would take it so it went in my fridge. And ... I had cold pizza for breakfast.

I'm sitting at Cosmos, working on graphics for Sunday. Across the way from me are two old ladies, probably in their late 60s or early 70s.

A part of me wanted to send them to separate rooms for ten minutes.

I'm excited about our upcoming series at LifePoint. It's called "Who is My Neighbor?" and looks at our responsibilities as Christ-followers to make a positive difference in our community and world. In some regards, it's part Good Samaritan -- having compassion on those within our walk of life. It's also part global stewardship -- how our choices and actions affect a much larger area than just our immediate circle.

Last Sunday, three of our directional signs turned up missing. Not simply misplaced but missing. Stolen. Removed. Evaporated. Three signs, three different intersections. So ... keep an eye out on Ebay for something that looks like this:

It's true -- The Gooses are returning to LifePoint for the next LifePoint Cafe on July 30 at 7 PM. They will be our first repeat artist to perform at a LifePoint Cafe. Why? Because I like them! I liken them to an acoustic version of the Barenaked Ladies. OK, they're not as good but getting there.
