Barna gone whack
Self appointed church expert
Has pretty much lost his way
This book slams the church at toxic levels
Small wonder it was published
By Barna Press

Rightly dividing ....
And is immersing herself in Hagar
Should be a sweet teaching

Mt. Vernon
Classic home of George Washington. Of all the places we visited last weekend, this made the largest impression on me.
Larissa, Jesse, Josh, Heidi and I took a 'Lusko Class Trip' to the nation's capitol. We saw the Pentagon wall attacked on 9/11, toured the
Capitol, visited Lincoln at night, and toured several Smithsonian's. But, the largest impression, just as when I was 12, was made by a visit to
Mt. Vernon. The museum's were nice, but reminded me of Hard Rock Cafe's, instead of Michael Jackson's coat, we saw General Custer's.
But Mount Vernon! So personal, seeing where George Washington, lived and died. I saw the bedroom that Lafayette stayed in, the room that
Washington discussed strategy for surprising the British. It was so intimate, the spirit of George Washington remained. And yes, we saw the slave quarters
of the 300 slaves he kept. George knew better, and freed the slaves he could, he didn't do everything, but he did something. Touring the White House is terrific,
but seeing Mt. Vernon brought me back to my first visit at 12 years. Glad I could take Jesse and Josh before they graduate. I've pulled a Washington bio off the shelf that
I've meant to read. I surely will now.

Fragile Flesh-Stupid Flesh
Just a few days of 'not feeling good' really tells me how weak and dependant I am on my body. This is a problem
Because my flesh is stupid. It wants things that will kill it. That is just not productive.
I guess it is good to be sick every once in a while. When I am out for a few days, it becomes hard to remember what
feeling good is like. Even though 99% of my days have been healthy, I am not very good at suffering.
Another reality check, sooner or later, my body is sure to betray me. I pretend I can beat the odds, because I can prolong the inevitable, but, overcome them? No. That's the way of all flesh. Stupid flesh, was a comment by Dr. John MacArthur today, very insightful.
He told the story of two men who preached with his dad 30 years ago. One is reprobate, one died an alcoholic, only Johns dad stood to the end.
Sobering.

Albert Contador
This bike is ridden by Albert Contador, a Spanish rider, in 07, riding for the U.S. Team Discovery,
he won the Tour de France. It is hard to comprehend what a feat this is.
It is a 22-day, 20-stage road race that is usually run over more than 3,000 km (1,864 mi). It is a circuit of most areas around France and
around neighboring countries.
The combination of endurance and strength needed to complete the Tour led the NY Times to say in 2006 that the
"Tour de France is arguably the most physiologically demanding of athletic events." The effort was compared to "running a marathon
everal days a week for nearly three weeks", while the total elevation of the hill climbs was compared to "climbing three Everests.
And this guy came in first.

Team Astana
I went to their hotel today for a meeting- yes that was a
cover, I wanted to see them, so I scheduled something in the cafe.
I felt like such a groupie. Guilty as charged. These guys
are some of the best athletes on the planet.
I almost asked Johan Bruyneel for an autograph for my
'son Chip.' Yipes.
In ABQ?!
Johan Bruyneel is an epic name in Cycling-
He is in ABQ for training his new team Astana.
More to follow.
