Back under the stars of the Lone Star State

November 21st, 2008

Howdy, all! I am back from Charlotte and happy to be home. Yesterday, my wife drove 2 hours north to pick me up from DFW Airport, and then we traveled 2 hours south (after a break for dinner) back to my in-laws house, getting in about 10:30pm or 11:00pm. The video below is filmed in the office of my kind cousin-in-law, and his generosity was very helpful as it is the only place in this house at this time of night where I think I could get enough light for decent video. (In return for his kindness, let me give him a plug: You have no idea what brisket is supposed to taste like until you’ve tasted his. Mmmmmmm… I’d tell you how to contact him to get some for yourself, but then that would be less for me, wouldn’t it!)

Though I say “decent video”, it will have the same sound-sync problem that the last one did, as I used the webcam again. One day I will figure out how to use that, but not today! I will try and return to the regular video camera next week.

I hope your week has gone well. I am really looking forward to coming back and telling you all of the exciting things happening with the work! You will hear some of them in the announcements tomorrow and I will not preempt any of that here, but there are additional tales to be told, and it was wonderful getting to hear about things first hand. God certainly has been busy!

Take much care, and I hope all you have a wonderful Thanksgiving next week.

Looking with you to His coming and His Kingdom –

Friday Night Greetings from HQ

November 14th, 2008

Howdy, all!  I have only a few spare moments before the HQ building locks up and I am trapped here until Sabbath morning, but I actually have a Friday Night Greetings video to post!  I thought that I would be left without the option, since I do not have my normal camera and I do not have Internet access where I am staying, but then I realized that I do have my trusty webcam AND, if I hurry, I could post before I leave.

Actually, if I could not post a Friday Night Video here, it would have been sort of ironic right?  Seeing as how the whole reason that I am here for the purpose of making videos?  (Well, at least it would have been ironic to me…)

I hope all of you are well and prospering even as your soul prospers.  Please pray for each other and pray for us, and we will endeavor to pray for you, as well!  And have a wonderful Sabbath.

A howdy before a goodbye!

November 7th, 2008

Howdy, everyone! I can hardly believe I am getting this out and it’s not even 9:00PM, yet. A record for me, I think!

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in Columbia this weekend, and regardless of where you are going for services, I hope that your Sabbath is all it needs to be this weekend.

And that’s about it! (I’m learning to be shortwinded — or at least shorterwinded.) The video is below. (Actually, I had some thoughts about America and the recent election that I was going to share in the video, but I got caught up a bit in the Thanksgiving comments that I forgot all about the election stuff. Wait… This isn’t being shortwinded, is it?)
