Our church just embarked in The Forty Days of The Signs Of Life. The campaign is meant to be like a mirror showing us all how we’re doing as Christians. We are going to learn what the signs of a vibrant Christian faith are. Our pastor, David Jeremiah wrote a book with 40 daily readings for us to study for the next 40 days, the reading began yesterday. Steven and I loved it, it’s very practical and biblically sound. Church was so much fun, you could feel the buzz and the excitement.
The Five Signs of Life are:
Dusty Shoes: Living a Relevant Life
Worn-Out Kness: Living a Yielded Life
Rolled Up Sleeves: Living an Authentic Life
Open Hands: Living a Generous Life
Outstretched Arms: Living a Compassionate Life
As a way to apply Open Hands, on March 24th we are going to give an Extreme Makeover to the Logan Elementry School campus in Down Town SD. Last night at church we had the kick off for this event. The school principal, teachers and staff were all there. Pastor St. John and Pastor Gillette have this massive event coordinated and computerized. There is something to do for everyone, furniture assembly, gardening, carpentry, landscaping, painting, banner making, administration, clean up, set up and tear down.
Pastor said, people have been asking him, “Why are you doing this?” and he tells them, “Because this is what Jesus would have us do, give and give and give to people we don’t know and to people who can’t give us nothing in return”. 
Pastor Gillette asked Steven to take care of the photography, so that will be his primary responsibility. Another volunteer will be video-taping the before and after. When all the hard work is done we will celebrate with a huge picnic/concert where our church and the school staff, parents and children will all meet. WE CAN NOT WAIT!
God Is GOOD!
February was a load of fun. Our friends from Minnesota the Sea-Birds, I mean the Sieberts and us went to En Fuego and took a stroll in Del Mar. Valentine’s Day was romantical and delicious. Last weekend we celebrated Mom’s Birthday at PF Changs hence the photos by the horse. Here we present a collage of fun pictures, which by the way, are not in order.
Earlier this month we went to Irvine Spectrum Center for Lucy’s birthday. We ate at P.F. Chang’s. Without further delay, here are the pictures.
We went to En Fuego today for lunch. Gotta love those fajitas, man! Wooooie! After that we went down to La Jolla for some shoppin’ and walkin’.
Here are our New Year’s photos. We went to church and Panera Bread then had Sudi’s famous homemade vegetarian Lasagna for dinner that night. With blueberry cider and cherries. I’m trying “PictoBrowser” to pull our pictures from flickr. I think it’ll cause less stress on browsers since it doesn’t automatically download all photos upon loading.

I added what I consider to be my best or most interesting photos to a Steven’s Best Photos flickr set, and here it is. I’ve been told sunset and “paradise” shots are a dime a dozen and therefore boring. However, they are my favorite so nya nya nya.
We went to Church on Christmas Eve for the candle lighting service then had Christmas at Mom & Dad’s house with all the Gliebes, Lucy, Bob, Mark and David. It was a lot of fun.
SudiRoo got me Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, a book light, “Go Fish” cards, a super portable tripod and a flickr Pro account (unlimited photo storage space, etc.). It really is the best way to store, organize and share your photos (has an API too). Sudi got some perfume, all kinds of purses, lots of clothes, boots and a custom CD. Lucy got a bunch of Joyce Meyer tapes and some other goodies. I made two oil paintings for Dan and Mom & Dad. Lucy made us beautiful oil painted aprons and brought the Gliebes some of that fine Mexican chocolate.
Here are our Christmas-time pictures, powered by my new flickr account (which is where we’ll upload all our future photos). Or, visit the actual Christmas 2006 gallery on flickr.
On december 9th, my good friend Reese invited Steven and I to her CD release. It was fabulous, she is a very talented saxophone player and singer. The opening numbers before her, were very good, great gospel music. It was a night full of fun and worship. Our other friend Britt was there and we all had a great time.

Last week my honey took some beautiful pictures of the sunset and I have included one of them. This past Saturday, on December 16th I was invited to a Tea Party. I had never been to one. It was wonderful, I had Candy Cane Lane Tea and Cranberry-Orange Scones.

Yesterday, I was able to sing with the choir at church, we sang from Handel’s Messiah, the Hallelujah Chorus, it was so much fun. I loooooove singing! After the service we took some nice pictures in front of a Christmas tree. It was a cold morning.

This is the first and only blog post I can categorize as “Home” and “Places” at the same time. On clear days I like to peek outside our bedroom window to see if I can see Mt. Helix. Today is especially clear… and with pretty trees. This is the same shot at different zoom levels.
