There I stood watching the Bears run the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. While every other Colts fan in our house was having a fit, I was thinking "oh my gosh...someone just won a new car!" Our station was airing the super bowl, and we were giving away a variety of prizes based upon what happened in the game. For instance, for every fumble, we gave away a prize. For every interception, we gave away a prize. Most of the prizes were $100 gift certificates to a local retail outlet, but the big prize was, if someone ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, then we would give away a new car! We met today at 3pm with some of the sponsors of the event, and we drew the name for the lucky winner! It was cool to hear Brian Dorsett, owner of Dorsett Mitsubishi, and a Colts fan himself, tell about his reaction to the run back.
He said that while it was happening he started jumping up and down, saying "go!" "go!". He said his daughter looked at him like he was crazy and asked,"why are you cheering for him?!?" Then Brian of course explained that if he ran it back for a touchdown, someone was going to win a new Mitsubishi!
So that was some excitement that I had last night and today at work. It was REALLY neat to be there and hear my boss's conversation as he called to tell the winner that they had just won a new car!
Just another little tid bit of information...this Super Bowl ranks as the 3rd most watched program in television history, behind the Mash finale and Super Bowl XXX.

Teach Me To Pray
I added a devotion to the devotion page of my website. It's titled "Teach Me To Pray". It's a real life story about how God changed this girl's prayer life.

Here's what our church service looks like tomorrow. Father God may you be in every part of this service, and if there's any place you desire for us to switch stuff up, then help us to roll with your flow...be glorified. In Jesus Name, Amen.
If there's anyone out there who would like information on any of these songs holler at me. You can e-mail me through the "contact me" tab on my website.

Current Book and Study
Current book I'm reading..."Communicating for a Change" by Andy Stanley, and Lane ? Sorry, I don't remember Lane's last name right now. This book has been extrememly enlightening regarding how to prepare a message. It was recommended to me by Timothy Wood (thanks Tim).
Right now in both our Sunday School class, and the Ladies Bible Study that we do, we're watching the "nooma" videos, by Rob Bell. These are awesome, thought provoking videos, I'm thoroughly enjoying them. These would be great for any small group. Each video is only about 15 minutes in length, and comes with discussion questions. Find out more at www.nooma.com Again recommended by Tim AND Jennifer Wood.
If you're interested in coming to our Sunday School Class or Bible Study, drop me a line and I'll give you more info. Just Fyi, the ladies study is in Terre Haute, and the SS class is during 3rd service.

A Funny...
My friend Debbie sent me this, it cracked me up so I decided I'd post it. However, before you read it, you must say a prayer for Debbie and her husband as they are starting a new church in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area. Their first service is Sunday, April 1st. So say a prayer and then read a funny...(#2 is my personal favorite!:-)
FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:
5. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."
4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time
management course you sent me to."
3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here
just in time."
2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you
put your ear down real close?"
And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your
desk...
1 . Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus' name, Amen."
