1. Freedom. (Have never experienced a loss of many freedoms before)

2. Food. (they eat fish heads, crickets, pickled ducks feet ummm, just about anything that we we would throw away and DON’T eat)

3. Golf. (picture caption above: “WHAT THE HAIL”…yes, we got stuck in a hailstorm on the course this year with BIG DAN MURPHY and it was a wicked storm, and yes, my 2nd shot–stuck it from 100 out w/ a slight back spin)

4. My Girls. (of course this list is in no particular order)

5. My Church. (i love you peeps)

6. Blogs, church websites, etc. (they have them blocked of course…wouldn’t want people to express opinion)

7. Stat Counter. (i love following the stats to our like 5 blogs, and I love you crazies who read)

8. Working Out. (been working out at least 3 times a week. SELPH is even coming, so the RAPTURE must be upon us, but really it is…Jesus is coming on 08-08-08…didn’t you hear?)

9. My Friends. (love ya)

10. Our Staff. (love ya too, even Bud and Kevin, the newbies)

11. Did I mention food, golf and my girls?

12. My Executive Assistant. (she is awesome and she won’t be there to bail me out, but I am certain she can still do miracles thousand of miles away:)

13. Ditto the Executive Pastor. (i am sure that the church will be way more CALM and STABLE under his watchful eye anyway)

14. TV and MOVIES. (mind numbing pleasure, and my dad almost got kicked out of the country for an illegal dish…nice one DAD)

15. The Weather. (you think it’s hot here…wicked hot and humid there every day)

16. My BED, My Rhapsody player, Normal toilets, and the ENGLISH language. (we’re in trouble)

blessings and peace.
