If you use mulch around your house be very careful about buying mulch this year. After the hurricane in New Orleans many trees were blown over. These trees were then turned into mulch and the state is trying to get rid of tons and tons of this mulch to any state or company who will come and haul it away. So it will be showing up in Home Depot and Lowes at dirt cheap prices with one huge problem; Formosan Termites will be the bonus in many of those bags. New Orleans is one of the few areas in the country were the Formosan Termites has gotten a strong hold and most of the trees blown down were already badly infested with those termites. Now we may have the worst case of transporting a problem to all parts of the country that we have ever had. These termites can eat a house in no time at all and we have no good control against them, so tell your friends that own homes to avoid cheap mulch and know were it came from.

We had an exciting time this past weekend with CWF.
We had a show back in Rockwall with a great crowd. Over 120 people were there and there was at least one decision for Christ at the end of the show. Makes it all worth while.
“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” – Luke 15:8-10
We also had our first meeting for our trip to Nigeria. I’m fired up and ready to go. Other than the fact that I’m still $2500 short of the total payment.
But God is faithful and took care of the deposit and will take care of the rest.
Here’s a run down of the show (I think):
The Bishop v. Michael Malick (no contest)
Apocalypse def. Caleb McCulluck (McCullock’s CWF debut)
Chris Idol def. Cubby
Heavy Weight Champion Jesus Freak def. Son of Thunder
Jesus Freak & Michael Malick def. Tag Team Champions Apocalypse and Chris Idol

I’ve been rocking out to this song pretty hard lately…

when i think about the Lord
by james huey

when i think about the Lord
how He saved, how He raised me
how He filled me with the Holy Ghost
how He healed me to the uttermost
when i think about the Lord
how he picked me up
turned me around
how He set my feet
on solid ground

it makes me want to shout
hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you’re worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!
Hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you’re worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!

A couple weeks back NPR’s All Things Considered had an interesting story on a documentary about a man with amnesia.
Unknown White Male tells the story of the man dealing with his lost memory.
The premise of the story is that a man has lost all his memory and can’t recollect any thing about himself, including his personality.
The documentary tells his story.
But the NPR reviewer said the movie begs the question, “Do we learn our personality or is it given at birth and ingrained for life?”
In other words, how much of our surroundings and the people we’re with impact our personality.
According to the report, the man who’s lost his memory is just a shell of his former self.
He’s a different man to all his old friends and family.
Can he regain his personality, or will he become an entirely new man as he re-learns his life, family, friends and surroundings?
I constantly see myself doing things that my father does. Possibly, that could be genetic, but it could also be all the time I’ve spent with him.
I see myself doing things my friends do as well. That’s not at all likely to be genetic.
So, how would your personality differ if you were raised in another family, another neighborhood or maybe another country?
