Dead Sea Scrolls at Bayside

Although there were some amazing things presented at InterAct2, a dessert at Bayside to celebrate 2009 and look ahead to 2010, a few stuck out with me in particular.

First the highlights of 2009 …
- Amazing guest speakers including: Luis Palau, Nick Vujicic, Franklin Graham, Louie Giglio and Francis Chan
- More than 500 active small groups throughout the Sacramento region
- Nearly 800 Jr. High, High School and College/20's at weekly events
- Breakaway Summer Kids Camp sold out in April ... 2010 will offer a special needs program
- Bayside Gives Back (garage sale) raised over $102,000 for 24 Sacramento region charities
- Semi's were filled with food and donated items for the Salvation Army

What's ahead ...
- Jim Caviezel - who played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ will be speaking this weekend at Bayside
- Experience Christmas at Bayside - Bayside's Christmas Eve services start on December 18th, they are amazing and you can get your free tickets beginning Friday, December 4th - check YouTube for videos of past years or go to the Century in Roseville for a preview
- Bayside will be heading back to Mexico in 2010 after taking a break in 2009 (due to violence in Mexico) and going to Fresno. Bayside has also been given a church in Fresno, so sometime in 2010 Bayside of Fresno will launch ... the first non-Sacramento region Bayside
- Continuing with the expansion ... Bayside will be starting video/satellite locations to reach more people throughout the Sacramento region by not making them come to the Granite Bay campus
- Thriving Churches International will continue to expand and grow by helping more churches and launching additional Thrive Conferences around California, the nation and the world
- Finally the DEAD SEA SCROLLS are coming to Bayside (before going to their new home at Azusa Pacific University ... that's right, they will be under armed guard, but available for everyone to see (April/March 2010) - check the Bayside Web site for additional details on that in the coming months ...

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
