exploring and shooting

Today started with exploring the German town of Gruene - so beautiful!

Brothers - Ron and Tom

we ate a magnificent lunch at the Gist Mill Resturant!

It felt nothing like a resturant - almost as if you were just having a picnic by yourself
I found a shop called 'The Gypsie" and fell in love with a whole line of clothes I've never seen before just in time to hear my hubby say it was time to go!!  Not a happy girl - but I quickly typed the name of the clothing line into my browser for future ordering!  And there will be future ordering!

We arrived back in Austin just as our nephews got out of school and it was off to play for a while.

Our team won the laser tag game I'm proud to report!! We cheered with guns in the air as the defeated team sadly passed by!   I'm fairly sure the oldest child on the opposing team may have been 8 if I'm generous.  Details...
Victorious lazer tag team

A Game Place!


Endless climbing walls - I kept turning corners and finding more!
We ended the night at Torchies - the best taco resturant I've ever eaten at!
Excellent ending to our perfect day!


It's been fun to be with family in Austin - tomorrow we head toward Dallas and are praying for opportunities we've only dreamed of!  Gateway Church - here we come!

What I learned today

I constantly read about how to improve our worship at Crossroads.

As Americans I think the majority of us hope to participate in as many fulfilling activities as possible - while being unwilling to invest in little that requires work and discipline.  I know, because it's true for me many times.

Although I understand not everyone is comfortable raising their hands and joyfully clapping and singing during the worship services - to fully engage in worship would at least produce the moving of lips I suspect.

As the leader of this department I seek to move each person in our congregation to the next level of spiritual abandonment in Christ - whatever that is for them.  It HAS to begin at home - we cannot accomplish this in a half hour worship service each weekend no matter how hard we try.

What i need to work on the most is to ensure our praise team is maturing in Christ and living a worship life outside the walls of church. If a Godly life is not pursued outside of Crossroads- hours of memorization and practice could mean little more than fulfilling a call to serve.

Will you join me on this journey of worshiping our Lord?
Gateway @ Crossroads/ July 30 at 7:00 p.m.

A rare opportunity exists on July 30 at Crossroads when the Gateway Church comes to lead us in a Night of Worship.  Will you mark your calendars and let nothing interfere with your commitment to worship with us on that Tuesday evening? 

I cannot wait to worship with all of you there!
