Happy Thursday!

Looks like the party’s over for Heaven and me! (lol) The other half of our family is coming home today… just in time for the next big snow storm! Yaye, I ‘ve really missed them!

Just a little more laundry to do… and I have to dust, and vacuum, and clean the bathrooms, and take out the trash, and clean the refrigerator, and fluff the couch pillows, and wash the bed sheets, and make the bed, and put a few chocolates on the pillows, and clean up the mess Lucy made when she CHEWED her way out of the bathroom yesterday (grrr Lucy, no water for you today… ha ha haaaaa!)… and then I’ll be ready for the big reunion!

The weather man says we will be getting between 12 and 20 inches of snow on Friday and Saturday. I’m trying to figure out how we can still have church @ Destiny Family Center this Sunday! If snow plow man gets everything cleared off, maybe we can pull something off!

the Super Bowl party

And I really want to have the annual DFC super bowl party! This year I will be rooting HARD for the Indianapolis Colts. Who would have EVER imagined this… being that I’ve been a die hard New England Patriots fan since 1984!

No offense to all of my New Orleans Saints friends, I’ve just had a very bad experience with a few Louisianian’s this past year, and it left a raunchy taste in my mouth. lol

my book: Make me a Legend

This has been a profound week of writing for me! Right now, I am 100% finished with 13 chapters and about 30% finished with my final 3 chapters… right on schedule for the March 15th deadline-for-completion goal!

Instead of mailing a pile of query letters and manuscripts all over the place, crossing my fingers for a publishing contract… I think I’m gonna drive to the Thomas Nelson Publishers headquarters and stalk Michael Hyatt until I’m able to make my pitch LIVE AND IN PERSON… with HIGH ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM… and a GREAT BIG CHEESE SMILE! Wish me well!! lol

Yesterday, I was reworking chapter 2: My Greatest Spiritual Fantasy. I had just wrapped up a very passionate summary of the first and second great awakenings and the great prayer awakening of 1857-1858… and I wrote:

from the brink of annihilation

Once again… in a dark moral and spiritual hour, everything changed in a day! Prayer meetings started up that spread all over the country. One million Americans came into the church during those two years. Another one million nominal churchgoers reclaimed their first love with Christ!

If we were to have an awakening like this today, it would translate into 20,000,000 Americans set ablaze for Christ in two years time! Churches that reported 121 members in 1858 had 1,400 members in 1860!  The social and ethical affects of this awakening rippled forward for almost half a century! Can you image this kind of spiritual fire breaking out in today’s Christian church?

I could go on and on with such stories until tears are streaming down your faces for several hours or more! Revival-Principles to Change The World, by Winkie Pratney is the best book I’ve ever read on this subject! Get it and read it once a year for the next 20 years, just as I have! And watch what happens to your passion for such things!

Over and over again, in Biblical and secular history, God has been able to move society from the very brink of spiritual annihilation to the decades we now refer to as the Great Awakenings! Every time it seems like the world is too far-gone, like evil has taken our civilization… good rose to challenge evil one more time!

That’s it for this morning… gonna get back to CLEANING, then writing, then a few afternoon meetings, then evening prayer at DFC, then chill time with my loving family!! Have a most triumphant day everyone! Love you all!

Dream Big, Live Bold, and Make the Difference!
