Jazzed about the NBA draft!






I was really surprised that Ronnie Brewer, a shooting guard from the University of Arkansas, was still available as the 14th pick in last night's NBA draft. He was said to be going as high as 7th. Being a Razorback fan, I'm really Jazzed about getting Brewer. He will really add some much needed athleticism for the Jazz.

Still enjoying "Pour Your Heart Into It" by Howard Schultz. The book is the story of Starbucks. I'm not a coffee drinker but this is a great story.

One of my favorite movies just came out on DVD. "End of the Spear" is a powerful and moving true story of the first missionaries making contact with the natives of Ecuador in the 1950's. You will be inspried when, at the end of the movie, they show the real people depicted in the movie. Rent this movie!!! True stories are still more powerful than anything Hollywood can think up.

Just watched "Mormons and Mobsters". While stll doing a little preaching, the movie is pretty funny. If you are not acquainted with LDS culture, youwill not get a lot of the humor. If you are, you should enjoy the DVD.

We're gearing up for our Vacation Bible School. Our theme is "The Amazing Race" -based on the movie "Cars". We never do the pre-canned VBS kits. We go for writing our own stuff.

I knew youd be pleased with the Jazz's pick.

I think he has a great potential to be a solid score threat over the next couple of seasons.
