Jesus Calls (Mark 3:1-19) from Tyler Hicks on Vimeo.

The audio is not so good in this video. sorry!

Birthing class

We went to a birthing class two nights this week. How draining they were! Two hours long a piece! I was so tired after each one, but they were really helpful, however.

I will leave this post "to be continued" by Tyler so he can share with y'all all the insightful things he learned.....

Tyler's b-day

Tyler Hicks=biggest U2 fan (as you can tell from previous post that was posted by him, not me)

I have yet to see the big deal about this band, but Tyler is def into music more than me so he would know I guess. I mean they're not bad, I just don't see what he sees. :)

Anyways, his birthday is Sunday, march 8th, and his parents and Mitch are coming to Clovis this weekend to celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER! He will be 29.
Maybe I should order U2 tickets for his b-day.... can we afford those?

U2: No Line on the Horizon

In case you live in a cave somewhere, let me inform you that the biggest band in the world recently released a CD (which I pre-ordered on iTunes... i'm such a dork). The sad thing is I've been so busy this week, that I didn't get to listen to the whole album until today. It's amazing. And U2 is on Letterman every night this week, so I just listened to them perform "Beautiful Day." One of those songs that's still good even if you've heard it a thousand times.

Conviction

The best part of writing a sermon is the point where the scriptures convict you personally. I've heard that you have to preach to yourself before you preach to others. What a great point. So, here I am going over my message for tomorrow from Mark 3:1-19 for the last time tonight. And as I read it outloud to myself, I got convicted. One of my points is about personal renewal. Personal revival. Asking God to do move in your life personally - through prayer and the word. So, here it goes! It starts with me. I am praying that God stirs my heart so that I hunger to read my Bible, and I desire to talk to God and hear from Him.

One test down 1 to go

My students just finished taking the Reading TAKS test today. That means we just have the Math one left on April 29th, which happens to be two days before Griffin is suppose to come. I am hoping they all did well on the Reading, we worked really hard these past months and now I have to hit them with alot of Math.

I am also hoping that I don't go into labor on April 29th, but who knows I may already be in labor before then! I really want to try to work up until I have the baby and be there on that day they test for Math but I guess we shall see... baby comes first of course....

Scripture references

Ok, I'm trying something out. Whenever I post a scripture reference such as:

Romans 8:28

You should be able to scroll your mouse over it and see the actual verse.
