Angels and Helping Hands

This past sunday I worked closer with our Angels For Christ Bus ministry and Helping Hands ministry. I was humbled at how those involved serve so faithfully. Our bus ministry takes families from needy areas and brings them to church. Lydia Duncan is the leader and she does whatever it takes to get the kids to church. Erica and Steve Mcbride charged the same day working with our special needs kids. These two ministries are the hardest to find volunteers for, but in my mind are most rewarding. You have to have the heart of the father to work with someone who appears to not appreciate you. Many times you feel that your not doing much good and don't feel very fruitful. They are typically the ministries that are not talked about as much either and so today I wanted to encourage and ask you to pray the Lord will stregthen these two valuable ministries I am blessed to be a part of . Thanks,

Joe

Fight On! Dodgers! Sumo! and Tiger

I need to blog more because I have been living large and it's good to think about my blessedness. A few weeks ago Ryan Ikari invited me to join him and the USC associates at the coliseum for some tailgating in class and a great game. The best part is I am not even a hard core USC fan but after my day with the associates all I have to say is Fight On! Days later I am watching Manny and the Dodgers in the NLDS with my girls. Then minutes before I am ready to take the Sato family off my wall, the Sato family rolls in the house from hawaii and we had a great time capping the night off over at knowlwoods hangin with Ricky Lombard. Then this morning I golfed like tiger woods. I actually had one of the worst outings on the course. I want to blame it all on the fact I missed my bathroom break at hole 9 and I beleive it was snowmans across the board after that. Right now Caden is calling so I need to bail.

Smell,

Joe
