"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it."
Matthew 7:13,14

"The American Dream Is The Christian Dream"

Pastor Tom Shirk
September 30, 2007

"And do not seek what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things." -- Luke 12:29,30

What is the American Dream?
- Home ownership
- Financial security
- Material possessions

The American dream was once an attainment to pursue; it is now an entitlement to be received.

The American Dream has always required tremendous energy but has never delivered soul-satisfaction.

The American Dream is American, but not Christian.

Luke 12:29,30 - Three things about God...
- We seek a Kingdom, where God Rules
- We follow a Shepherd who provides for our needs
- We obey a Father who knows best and gives the best

Practical Applications:

Sell your possessions... Take something and sell it and give it away.

Understand how brief our life is.

Halloween Store

Theresa was out of town at the Women Of Faith conference for the weeked. The girls were off o school onf Frida So, they got to spend the day at work with me. :-)

We were at the office from 9am 'til 6pm. The girls were great. They played school (go figure), drew on the white boards, surfed the web, went to lab with me and just generally hung out while I went to a couple of meetings.

As a break we went to lunch at the mall and stopped into the halloween store.

Scarey pictures.

IHOP

Well, Theresa was away for the weekend for the Women of Faith conference. But, the girls were off school and were my breakfast buddies this Friday.

We ate at IHOP. A good, solid, basic, all-american breakfast place. The manager at the Boulder IHOP is super attentive and friendly - always checking in on all the customers. The servers are also amazing - they take your order in their heads, memorizing everything and always getting it right.

Megan had the chocolate chip smiley face pancake from the kid's menu. Chloe had biscuits and gravy. And, I had the breakfast sampler with scrambled eggs, ham, sausage, bacon and pancakes.

The total bill including tip for the 3 of us was #31.02.

I'd considered it medium priced and above average food. It's consistent if nothing else. You always know what you are going to get in terms of food selection, quality, service and price range.
