Original Pancake House

Friday breakfasts with my wife....

We started out a couple of years ago to eat breakfast together on Fridays after the girls were off to school. We tried to go to a different breakfast spot every Friday. Two years on now - I can't remember all the place we've been. So, I decided to start capturing them in my blog.

Today we went to the Original Pancake House. Overall impression was good. Quick to be seated, not too crowded, wait staff was prompt and attentive, menu selection was comprehensive (with a focus on pancakes :-) - all in all it was good.

Theresa had a half-order of pecan pancakes with the special hot tropical syrup. Her only comment was that she wished the pecans were mixed in the batter and cooked instead of sprinkled on top. I had the banana pancakes - with bananas cooked in. It was a full portion and quite large. Very good.

The total bill with tip was around $22 - medium priced.

Watch for it, Opportunity is Coming



Making an Impact
Pastor Ron Bloom

"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Matthew 4:19

When did you receive Christ?

Do you desire to be obedient to the Lord by celebrating what He has done for you, sharing it with others, and inviting them to experience the very same thing?

Yes or No

To make an impact we need:

Nehemiah 1

1. Seek out the opportunity.

2. Prepare for the opportunity.

3. Respond to the opportunity.

4. Celebrate the opportunity.

5. Follow-up with person who was once the opportunity.

LifeGroup Questions:
1. What opportunities do you have right now to share the Good News?
2. What strategies do you think would work best?
3. How will you prepare?
4. Who will you hold accountable?
5. How will you celebrate?
6. Discuss missed opportunities and what you would do differently now.

First Day Of School

Chloe headed off to Centennial Middle School for the first day of school. Bus came at 8:17 sharp and she'll be home at 3:55 - long day.

Chloe was excited to go. I think we'll all be glad to be back in the routine. But, I'm sure that once homework, and projects, and tests, and grades get loaded on it'll become less exciting.
