1. Have you seen the movie "The 5 People you meet in heaven"? this is a great movie based on the book by Mitch Albom. Paige and I have watched it twice now and we both are intrigued by it. I don't know what heaven will be like for sure (see the latest newsletter by Joel for more on this), but this movie put and interesting take on it. This is one idea of what i may be like. In the extras, Mitch is interviewed and he does not tell you exactly what his faith is and what he believes, but he definitely believes in God and heaven. You should rent this movie and see what thoughts come to you. You might be amazed!
2. Paige and I got to go on a vacation this past week. We went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Wow! How amazing it was. Beauty like I've never seen before. You see, i have not had much experience on the beach, so i am somewhat of a rookie. This was a great experience for me and we had lots of fun. In the midst of all the fun, reality set in. Paige's stepfather died on Saturday and we got ahold of Paige's mom on Sunday morning (right before we were leaving) and found out. What a change of emotion. Though this world is so beautiful, it is not our home and we are just passing through. Paige and i went from a feeling of celebration to a keen sense of reality real quick. Please keep Paige's mother in your prayers. She is a wonderful woman and has so much on her plate!
3. Back to work. Why is it so difficult to get back in the swing of things. I was only gone for 4 days and now that i am back, i feel so lost. It was a great break and much needed.
4. Service. Let's work on opportunities to serve others this holiday season. I am working on some organized efforts for the IronMen as a group, but please think about the little things you can do every day to serve others. After all, that was Jesus' M O.
5. Next IronMen breakfast is Dec. 2 at LCCOC, 7:30 to 8:30am. Bob McKinnon will be leading us. Last time Ken Boggs led us and did a great job. Thanks Ken!

Stay strong, PLD
