A few weeks ago, Natalie asked me if she could start her own blog just like her dad. She’s an aspiring writer, even as a 9 year old, and she wanted a simple way to post her short stories on the internet. Take a look at Natalie’s new look and read a few of her short stories. Stephanie and I are blessed with some great kids. Who knows, maybe someday Natalie will write novels and be famous. Every story is completely written and edited by her.
Here’s the link to her site: www.nataliesimon.com

Here’s an early peek at a digital billboard that The Assembly will be using the next 12 months. The billboard is located on the corner of Elm and The Creek Turnpike in Broken Arrow. Notice that the Community Carnival and Egghunt is coming soon. This is a huge month of activity at our church as we push toward Easter weekend.

This weekend at our church we had an opportunity to pack more than 100,000 meals for starving children all around the world. This is our second year to do this outreach and I must say that our people are motivated by this project like no other project we have ever done. More than 600 volunteers packed 108,000 meals in under 6 hours. Our whole family had an opportunity to be a part and I am grateful for the opportunity. Watch the video to see the people of The Assembly serve their hearts out and show that “Love is on the Move.”

Another associate pastor and I challenged our Student Ministries Pastor and Childrens Pastor to a game. 6 games later we left with a perfect record. 0-6… I mistakenly declared we would play the games to 21… I learned that’s too long of a game for someone my age.. 5 of the 6 games, we beat the younger team to 10 points, only to fold miserably at the end.
A few nights later, after advil and rehab,

A few days ago I saw a snow mobile driving down one of the busiest streets of Broken Arrow after we had a record amount of snowfall that crippled our transportation systems. You don’t see that everyday… This week I had another memorable moment. A church member brought a 5 month old white bengal tiger to the office and we had an opportunity to hang out with him for a short visit. He will grow to 800lbs in less than 2 years. His paws were already impressive enough that I wouldn’t want to get into a wrestling match with him.
