I'm a clocker.... gotta exercise and don't want to talk to anyone!

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

That's the NKJV but it's good in any version.

Melissa you can Google "Stadium HIgh School, Tacoma WA" and look at the images. It sits right on Puget Sound Bay with views of Mt. Rainier. It was being built in the late 1800's as a hotel with the railroad. A fire gutted it. It sat abandoned until the school district bought it . The school has been operating since 1910. We celebrated it's centennial anniversary last year. Stadium bowl was constructed (carved out of the earth next to the school) and opens to Puget Sound.Those of us who graduated from there are proud of that school and it's legacy!

this is filmed in the courtyard of the high school I attended in Tacoma! I loved that school Stadium High - the Castle on the Rock!

Great video. I saw it go viral today on Twitter and Facebook, but finally just watched it.

This is a great word Pastor Ron. I was fighting dread all day due to a conversation I have to have tomorrow with a co-worker. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to the rest of this series.

I need to come visit your church some day!

great post. Very timely. Friendships need to be intentional and effective. I've been thinking on this topic all day!

I so agree... it's easy to be in self-deception. Living a life of examination and being honest with ourselves will help defeat this temptation to settle for an altered reality.

What an awesome year you had. I'm envious of you since you haven't mowed a lawn in a year! I'm dealing with moles in mine right now! Merry Christmas Pastor Ron.

I'm surprised "A Christmas Story" isn't on the list. I like "Christmas Vacation" and it's on my to 10 list.

You are not alone. I too pull up the party and never go in. This time of year is always tough with ALL the Christmas parties. I no longer feel guilty about saying "no". I like smaller groups and quaint gatherings. I'm very selective this time of year as to which parties I say "yes" to.
