Can you spare a minute?

I've been thinking... All of us need a little sabbatic in our lives.  Moments when we slow down just long enough to be reminded that God loves us.  Take 8 minutes and allow this video to bless you.  Be reminded that God loves you and is the Lord over all things.  He is a friend to sinners of all types and he the powerful God who is at work in your life today.

Kudos

So I've been thinking...why can't we get/keep good restaurants in Kaufman?  A lot of people live in and around our fair city.  More people than I can count complain about how difficult it is to find a good meal (that isn't Mexican).  Then we get a place... and six months later they have to close the doors because they haven't generated enough business to make the thing go.  

In retrospect, I probably could have eaten there more often myself. Most days I was shocked at the sparse lunch crowd.  For my part I thought the food was pretty good and the service was kind and gracious.  

Crying shame.

I know this sounds old school, but if we want to have nice places to eat and shop, we are going to have to make a point to support them.  The Kaufman economy has suffered over the past 10 for lots of reasons.  I don't suppose this is going to change overnight.
One thing we all do if is set aside a part of our spending for Kaufman shopping/eating. 

With gas at $4 this makes more sense now than ever before. 

So, anyone interested in Chick-fil-A for dinner?

A Beginning

I think some things and beginning today I think I'll write down what I think so that whoever is willing can think about those things too.  Comments and thoughts on thoughts are welcome.
