Big Week in Lusko-land

Jesse at Calvary Bible College in So-Cal

M-88 Radio at Chase The Balloons Bike Ride Start

Last week was a huge week:

Chase the Balloons bike ride had over 200 riders (no balloons this year/wind)

• Heidi's on the homecoming court at Hope Christian
• A trip to visit Jess & Josh at Murrieta
  
• Larissa and my anniversary (Santa Fe)
• Levi spoke at Madison Square Garden for Harvest Crusades

so much to do, so little time to blog- plus we had some quality time with Becca's  dogs while she and Jason (& Jaxon) were in Colorado.

Heidi Summer & Hope Homecoming

Wow. This is a wake up call. Heidi Summer- pictured here is suddenly really growing up. I'm sure it has actually

been a process....... but as I watched her get ready for Hope Homecoming- it was quite an experience. I will keep my 

feelings to myself, as I don't want to make this the blog for the Schmaltz Family.   But, suffice to say, for me it was 

a milestone day.

Chase The Balloons

Five years ago, a friend and I thought it would be fun to have bike ride when the balloons in 

New Mexico ascend. We put out some advertising and..... he and I showed up, but,

Chase the Balloons was born. www.chasetheballoons.com   

We had nearly 200 people last year on the ride and we could top that this year. 

I'm doing 50 miles with a pastor friend from City on a Hill and his friends. 

Last year, we hit the balloon lift off just right, we sailed down Tramway just as 

hundreds were ascending, it was amazing. Hope the weather holds and the balloons go

northeast! 

Premiere Party: Jaxon on the town

We hosted a roll-out party for Daniel's first network program. He is assistant editor on Easy Money, a new program on CW.
It's shot in ABQ, and coincidentally, Larissa was an extra.  It was neat seeing all the ABQ sites, ironically, the one site I did not
recognize (I blame the camera angle) was Del Norte's parking lot. I have only been there daily like for 12 years.
When I said 'Where was that shot-?"  I took some mocking.   Neat night for the family. Daniel will be out of the editing booth on into the director's chair before long.
It was a cool weekend all the way around, I helped host Alert 08 at CCABQ with Tim LaHaye, we i chatted with Jesse and Josh from Bible College and talked to Levi in Philadelphia where he is hosting a Harvest Crusade.  When God says he will bless you beyond all you can ask or think, believe it.
