It has been a while I know. But we are moving in to our new house this week! Wow, it feels good to type that. One thing that I am super excited about with this house, besides having a place to eat at a real table, (Unfinished Furniture Megamart), is that we can actually start doing in house bible studies with our Sr. High, and whoever else. No offense to the church(building) but I know it will be a lot more cohesive to dig deep in to His word for some, in a home setting. Shannon is officially a Dailey. And weird as it may sound, it just hit me, that she changed her name, like, for good, and its my name. We have been married almost four months now, but we just received her Social Security card in the mail. Next month, is all about the BBQ. Shannon's dad and brother, along with Shannon and myself, are headed for Memphis. That's right, the Super Bowl of Swine, as they like to call it. Check it out, Memphis in May

Today I attended a Child Safety Conference, thanks to the local government here in good ole' Alabama. I was actually dreading it at first, the main reason we attended was to gather more information about covering our local church as well as state churches through different liability cases and issues. Yadda Yadda Yadda, the main speaker was the lead FBI special agent on the Elizabeth Smart abduction case, how cool is that. I came home with so much info. on child abduction, internet safety, and child pornography, plus official FBI hand books on all that stuff. It was cool jive! Now I must take this new found knowledge, and shape it in to the church's role! This should be a no-brainer, but if you have any children 18 and under, then you need to know EVERYTHING about their internet use. Oh yea, no computers in their rooms either, put them in the center of the house. If they have something they want to hide or make private, then that could very well be an open door to chaos. Don't agree with me, then let me sit down with you for a minute and show you how many teens get abducted a year via the internet. I sound so adult in this BLOG! Here are some cool sites for you to reference. A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety NetsSmartz Relevant quote of the day.... "A church trying to teach about the crucifixion of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs, upsetting several parents and young children. People who attended Saturday's performance at the Pa. church, quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified. Um, there has got to be a better way than that of portraying Easter ..."

We have a new house. Too bad we can't be in it for 3 weeks. Must remove the depressing wallpaper, any takers? Hey Relevant made FOX News, click here I had the opportunity to speak Monday night of Holy Week on John 15. That passage makes our Christian faith so solid and full of purpose, ughhhh I can't believe I just said purpose! in my BLOG. Last weekend we had a blast by the way . . . I think I enjoyed Traveling Mercies more than anything. If you ever need a drama crew for an event go with these 5 talented folks http://themercies.com/home.html all for now . . .

Would it be contrary to say, I am looking forward to a weekend with some Middle Schoolers, so I can get some rest? I have a mental flaw in that my thoughts spin like a Roledex from one responsibility to another, and I usually don't have any peace, until that responsibility is fulfilled. I need mental Yoga! I am off to Atlanta tomorrow with the MS'ers and I really am looking forward to it. http://www.jrhighbelieve.com Well I am off to church to work on the Prayer Path!
