Eastside Meeting in the Books

Well, the Eastside Spring Gospel Meeting with Tony Mauck is "in the books." We had a wonderful week for several reasons: -- Tony did an excellent job of motivating, teaching and inspiring us to be stronger and walk "the Road to Glory." -- Dozens of visitors came to worship with us, from other churches and the community -- For the most part, our membership supported their own meeting with unprecedented faithfulness. -- Above all, God has been gloried and we are thankful to be apart of that.


----OKAY, SIDE NOTE---- Tiger Woods just announced he is a Buddhist... That religion has some moral principles, but the problem is... people will only follow it if they choose and ignore it if they choose... THERE IS NO CONQUERING KING! That man needs Jesus!

    One, of many, things that stuck out to me was when he apologized to all of those parents who teach their kids to esteem him as a role model in their lives. Everyone of those parents that do should be holding a press conference apologizing to their kids and to our society. Those parents and kids need Jesus!

    it's so funny listening to the commentators -- they either LOVE what he said or HATE it -- no middle ground! oh, Tiger, not Tony! HA

    It was a great week! The good news for those who "HATED" -- Tony won't be back until 2015! Pretty funny, Renee', but of course there would be mixed opinions on Tiger's announcement...there's no way to please everybody (even if you're a preacher!).

HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!

Okay, clarification needed for title above... I have lots of Aggie friends and for one reason or another, my daughter is already bleeding maroon. I love College Station and pull for the Aggies, especially when underdogs to Texas.

For other reasons, my son is altogether smitten with the Longhorns... He has a Longhorn build-a-bear, hat, blanket, football, shirt, jacket, you name it. (I think he loves them for 2 reasons: 1) he always picks the favorites 2) Hannah likes the Agg's)

I most certainly loathe the liberal, worldly "fairies" (as one friend put it today), folks who represent the "elites" of Austin... So don't get me started on that...

BUT ... more than an Aggie, Horn, Horned Frog, Red Raider, Cougar, Cowboy, or whatever .... I am a Texan! So, when Texas teams rival, I pick my favorite (Texans over Cowboys) (Aggies over Horns) ... but when it is a Texas team against anybody else on the planet ... Go Texas!

I believe when we finally have had enough with the insanity of Obamanomics, several things will happen: 1) Houston will boot the abomination of a mayor they just elected 2) Houston will boot the "mega preacher" who prayed recently in support of her 3) Texas will build a high fence around its borders, and will ship out to Mobile all resident who pulled for Alabama.... HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

(BTW - No hate mail... this was not a rant, just in good fun!)

    Well said! Hook 'em horns!

    It's hard to imagine a Longhorn fan who wouldn't pull for the Aggies if they were in the championship but, unfortunately, I'm sure there are lots of A&M fans hoping that UT will lose.

    Austin is an unusual place, for sure, where the Hummers and the Priuses seem to share the road just fine, and there are lots of both.

    I'm SO glad to finally see a subject line today with your words. You can't imagine my frustrations at seeing only "Roll Tide" sentiments...and I'm not even FROM Texas. :-) Joshua started liking them when he was younger for the same reasons your son does - everyone else liked the Aggies. So now I bleed burnt orange just like him. Hook 'Em Horns! :-)

    I was BASHED on facebook for speaking out about Houston's first gay mayor!! I want to email the "mega preacher"...wonder if his people would email me back??
    by girlietexan at 01/07/10 6:03PM
  • girlietexan
    Oh...bleeding orange just for tonight...turn back to maroon at midnight. I will ALWAYS pull for the Lone Star State!

  • jenmurff
    ummm, we're kinda stuck. Neither team does it for me. ALTHOUGH, I loooove Austin! I'd move there in a heart beat. (if i could pack up my BFF's and family and take with me.)

  • i_wantobe_ready
    THANK YOU for saying that! It needed saying. I agree whole heartedly. We have a whole mess of fine athletic teams here in the Great State of Texas and it is a shame that all of them can't be National Champions at the same time. I really don't have a favorite team anymore, I'm still mad at the Cowboys over that Landry thing but I'm warming up to the Texans, still smarting over Bud Adams moving the Houston team out of town in the middle of the night.
    College teams? You remember the SWC? Probably not. Texas A&M, Texas , Houston, Rice, TCU, Baylor, SMU. I like all of those and I like LSU unless they are playing a Texas team. I respect the Alabama teams and look forward to more competition from them as well as others.

    In a battle of Texas against another state, I would most definitely route for Texas, but this is football, man, and I say ROLL TIDE for that game. They did not disappoint. :-D

    Texas university sports teams have nothing to do with loyalty to the state. :) Love you, Kris! By the way, have you gotten fitted for your tux for Johnathan's wedding, yet? I believe the two preachers of the bunch were the only ones who hadn't as of last weekend... ;) I'm just sayin'.

    Hehehe. You crack me up. :-D Looking forward to seeing y'all at the wedding!
