So I have been challenged to prove my husbands “hotness” I know that seems weird huh! but I never back down to a challenge!

So Hm mm  How do I gage my husbands beauty  and compare it or  qualify it? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it could be difficult for me to prove he is actually the hottest man on the face of the earth. I think he is but I’m pretty sure every wife thinks their husband is also. I could send his picture to a committee of experts at Harvard and they could measure and analyze his face and then send a report with their findings….. I think if they sent back a report and validated my belief and said “yes he is the hottest man alive” I would then do what? Maybe get an award and stick it to his nose and tell everyone everywhere we go? Maybe,  it would be fun conversation at a party!  He could be a party trick, the hot guy with a certificate stuck to the end of his nose that says “I am hot” signed by Harvard!

I believe a person’s hotness is found within their heart, actions and character and then if every things in order in those areas then I think they qualify as a beautiful person. If the most beautiful person on earth has bad character and treats people badly and is not a man or women of honor, then I think that makes a very ugly individual.

So here you go … My husband is a man who is after God’s heart, he leads our home with love, compassion, conviction, and  purity, he is a wonderful father, a wonderful husband and is very thoughtful and he totally took care of me while I was sick today so that to me is hotness at it’s finest – USDA prime, BABY- And have you seen him? He is so easy on my eyes!

 I have to say when my husband is preaching with anointing- I think he is a vision! WOWIE!

Today we had our Sunday service at Franklin Park, it was a Hawaiian themed service with a BBQ following the service. It was an amazing wonderful day. OK It was pretty hot, however it was a fun day filled with much laughter and the opportunity to hang with some amazing people. Everyone was dressed up in their Hawaiian get up and looked so beautiful. I mean if we cant live in Hawaii we can at least pretend right!

As I looked out at the crowd today I reflected on the greatness of God and how much I love His people. As soon as Brian and I became Pastors of Breakthrough we prayed “God send us the people you want to serve by our sides.”  Every person He has sent to us is such an incredible blessing. This morning we had people there at the crack of dawn setting up the sound system, decorating, making trips back and forth, cooking, setting up tents, volleyball nets, and preparing enough paint to paint every face there. I did not hear one complaint just people running around joking, singing, talking with one another and sweating (Did I mention it was hot)

 I just love every person who said “Yes” to the call. Breakthrough is filled with people and families who are there to make a difference in lives and in a city that is hurting. I am the most blessed person on the face of the earth as far as I’m concerned. It feels amazing to be in the middle of the will of God and I get the honor to be in that place with the most encouraging, hardest working people, with the best attitudes of any place that I know of!  We get to do life together, that’s awesome!

One of my favorite points of the afternoon was when Denise drug a bunch of us girls (older girls) in the Buzz Lightyear “KIDS” jumper and we jumped, laughed and got so carried away we almost knocked the jumper over! OK note to self 4 moms should be the limit in a jumper at one time! haha! Gosh I love those girls!

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard this week to make today a wonderful afternoon!

Good Night  -
