I recently watched the recent Star Trek movie. Three guys were about to space dive to Vulcan: Kirk, Sulu, and Olson. I thought, "Who's Olson?". I was caught up in the scene, and wanted to yell out, "Watch out, Olson! You're an extra!"

Have you wondered if you are an extra in life? To God, you are not an extra; you are a main character -- He has a great destiny for you.

Years ago, our next door neighbor was giving away kittens. Towards the end of the litter, we decided to take the yellow one. The first night we had him, he disappeared. I went next door and looked over the fence to see if he had returned to his mom. He was there, but the black and white kitten walked toward me and looked up with those eyes that asked, "Don't you love me too?"

We still have both of those cats, seniors now. Sometimes I wonder how many people go through life with that question never answered.

Here are sermon notes from Open Door Mission tonight.

The election is coming in two weeks, an off-year election.
The big topic appears to be: Do you want more government or less government? Also, do you trust the guy you voted for to do what he says?
So, one guy goes to vote saying, "The government doesn't do enough. I'll vote for Joe, he'll do mo'e." Another says, "We can't afford all this stuff. I'll vote for Tess, she'll do less."

I found the following from Teresa particularly insightful and helpful, so I'm pasting it here for posterity.

A word from Daynamarie:

Get out your horn, fill it with oil, and Go!!!! There is a new sound in the earth. Can you hear the sound? For you were born to worship Him and were raised to be a warrior!!! God is visiting the waste places!!! Hearts are being awakened for His purpose and glory!!!

It's been a rough year for dogs at my place. Nikko, our dog for many years has passed on, and we got a new Dog, Darby, a young border collie. Darby kept me busy taking him to Hayward's Landing and elsewhere to go running every day. But recently Darby bit a neighbor boy in the back, and animal control took him. This was a big distress and pain to Pat and me, as our precious little dog was in jail with an unknown outcome.

I used to write blogs, even running a series, even if nobody read them. Then I became the video announcement guy, and every week I'm thinking about what to do for the next Sunday, and my creativity, such as it is, was seemingly diverted from blogging. And then there's the new dog, and the kids moving, and ....

I watched Snow White today. The cartoon, Disney one. I found out that her and I have some things in common. We both love to clean and we do a good job at it. We both love to sing. We both have dreams that we know will come true someday. We both fell asleep. She woke up, but I haven’t… and I’m going to say yet.

Just wanted to say that the website is looking AWESOME and I really hope people are beginning to use it more regularly. I know I haven''t blogged in a while but I'm hoping to get on here more regularly. BLESSING EVERYONE
