Had a great day yesterday. I led the 1st Service, but not the second. I had the privilege of teaching the Caleb Class, which is the Senior Saints. Joseph, our youth pastor led the 2nd Service and did an awesome job. I taught on Phil 3, a chapter that Paul uses himself as an example of how we should live our lives as Christian. The first verse is "Rejoice in the Lord"! We all should learn how to do that better.

Here's the list:

1st Service

A New Name In Glory-
Life’s Railway to Heaven
Let My Light Shine Bright
Till the Storm Passes By
Just a Closer Walk with Thee

2nd Service

I Am Free-D
Now That You’re Near-E
Mighty to Save-A
My Savior My God-D
The Stand-A

Please watch this and give me your comments on this question: How should we, as Christians, react to the "Prop 8: Musical"?

We had a great day at Parkhill! I didn't post last week, but for Memorial Day we had a unified service, which means everyone was in the 10:30 Service. I really enjoyed it. It was very nice. We will be doing this periodically over the summer, with hopes of going back to a one service format in the fall. Doing two different service formats every Sunday is like leading two different churches. It was nice to see a full crowd on Memorial Day, too!

Ok here's the order for this past Sunday:

1st Service:
I’ll Fly Away-Ab/G
On Jordan’s Stormy Banks-Eb/D
We’ll Understand It Better By and By-Eb/D
Soon and Very Soon-F
Sweet By and By-G

2nd Service
A New Hallelujah-G
Come Now Is the Time To Worship-D
Jesus Paid It All-A
Mighty To Save-A
Agnus Dei-A

It's been 5 wks since I found out that I'm diabetic. I have cut so much out of my diet. Splenda tea instead sweet tea, cut alot of sweets out, down to 1-2 carbonated beverages a week, (seriously, no joke!), and watching my carb intake. It's not really been as bad as I thought it would be. It really is about moderation. I can still have things with sugar, but not just as much.

I am also walking and climbing a few mountains, (will be doing the Incline again in a few weeks).
As of 5 wks, I have lost 11 lbs. my goal is to lose 18.8 more lbs. I'm at 168.8 and I want to get down to 150. (we have a digital scale, it's pretty kool)

Anyway, even if you are not a diabetic like me, take care of the body that God has given you. I really believe that the some health problems that we have are directly related to how we eat. There are tons of things that taste really great, but are really bad for the body. So take care of your body, and you'll feel so much better!

My sister, Amy and her husband Kaz, are headed to Japan. They have a new website, you can check out. http://fimtokyo.com/ They are still raising support, so please pray for them as they prepare to go and as they travel. If you would like to support them, go ck out the website and leave a comment for them.

Continuing the One Month to Live series, we looked at Loving Completely. Loving people like Christ loved us. Question to think about: Could you love and forgive the person that murdered you son? How many of us could say yes!!

We had a great time musically yesterday. The sound was very comfortable. It's so nice when ya don't have problems, I'm reminded of Fred's post last week. Sorry, Fred, but ya got to have problems sometime!

At the end of the 2nd Service set, we sang Wonderful Cross and The Old Rugged Crosss. we took the Old Rugged Cross down and half step to A and started with the Chorus then went into the verse. It was a nice transition from the Wonderful Cross, which is in D!

Ya'll have a great week! Here's the Setlist:

Holy, Holy, Holy
The Old Rugged Cross
Glorify Thy Name

Ok, for those who don't already know, here's the deal: I got new life insurance and had to do blood work about a month ago. My insurance agent called and said my blood work came back weird and I received a D rating which means that I have the highest premium. I took the lab results to my doctor last Friday.
He took one look at them and said that I was diabetic. He wanted to verify it with his own test, but said 9 times out of 10 the insurance lab results was accurate. He said that I probably wouldn't see symptoms for another 5 to 10 yrs, but we should start treating it now with medication and diet.
I took a Glucose test on Monday and am going back to see him tomorrow.

I guess the struggle that I will have is watching what I eat. Because I'm addicted to the "DEW" and love sweets and candy, which will probably be off my list of things to eat. Being from the south, I also love Sweet Tea and people in Colorado come over to my house to drink "Jamey's Sweet Tea"! We bought some Splenda yesterday, which is outrageously expensive and made a gallon of Splenda Tea last night and it was pretty good. Tea problem solved!!

I also begin walking last week. You can follow how am doing there with the Daily Mile widget in the right sidebar. So far, we've walked 10 miles in two weeks. I believe that I need to lose between 20-25 pounds. My goal weight is 150.

I'll let ya know what the Doc say's. I am praying that the first lab results were wrong!

Also, Mike Haley, a college buddy and pastor in Fountain, CO, and I are headed up the Manitou Springs Incline on Friday, May 1st. The incline goes up 2,000 feet in one mile. I don't know if I can do it or not, but it's a challenge that I want to do and I don't like Mike showing me up. He did it a couple of weeks ago. I'll let ya know how that goes too!!

We're doing the One Month to Live Challenge at Parkhill. (Ck out Sunday Setlist) Anyway, it has been featured on the CBS's Early Show.
