Been on a mission trip lately? Ever wanted to go and been a bit hesitant of how you could? Get your questions ready as tomorrow night at Tankard Fellowship there will be a few folks you can ask.
· Getting away from work that long · What to bring · What you will lose while on the trip · What not to bring · Will your family let you go · Do you bring gifts for those you are heading to mission to · Do you try and bring a laptop and fit in some work · Where do you stay while away · What do you eat
A group just came back from going to Peru - they would be happy to share with you what to expect for when you are called next.
Hope to see you, 8:30pm 2nd Tuesday of each month,
Geoffrey-

So do you have a cell phone that lets you load and use applications, called apps? I have the iPhone (though Julie still calls this my aPhone) and I have some great apps, 7 pages of them. Here is what is on my main page, Safari web browser, calendar, To Do's, iPod, Facebook, Tweetie, Bible Verses, iTalk to God, Birthday Cal, Echofon (2nd Tweet- this one for the Frisco cycling club) Camera, The Weather Channel, foursquare, LiveStrong, News Fuse and Pandora.
And my new favorite app is the LiveStrong as it is my work out log and calorie counter. Ever since mom came down to help us with the twins and her comments about my gain in weight did I really take notice that I was putting on a few extra LBS. With this app I can see how crappy I eat and that working out truly does help!
In June 2009 SB 488, the "Safe Passing" bill that would have created a safe zone of three feet around vulnerable road users (including pedestrians, runners, motorcyclists, cyclists, workers and more), was passed in the state of Texas. Similar laws have been passed in many other states including Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado and Florida.
"However, the Frisco Cycling Club received an alert concerning the bill on the day that it was to have been signed into law by Governor Perry that he was going to veto it. We immediately went on the offensive and alerted our members and friends to email or call his office and let him know how important this bill was to many Texans," said Geoffrey Davis, president of Frisco Cycling Club.

It was over 5 years ago, my church; St. Philip's Episcopal was still meeting in Bright elementary school. A team of us rotated to set the church up each Sunday morning and then break it down and store it for next week. It was on one of those Sunday early mornings that I was on shift and my set up partner, Grady Lesser had just two words for me, Baby Wise and a minivan. You see, Lucas had just been born a few days earlier and I must have been looking not so rested. And his comments were taken to heart- Baby Wise is a great guide book for new parents and one we like to send to expecting parents. But his comments about the minivan came to light this last weekend at the soccer game for Lucas. I was on the passenger side unloading Seth and the twins and I hear a thud, then a 2nd one. I look over and sure enough- the car next to me was putting it to the ManVan. And they were set to keep loading and do nothing until I ask, "How bad is it?" Surprised as they did not know anyone was around, let alone the owner. So here is what I have to say to you parents with youngsters- read Baby Wise and stop letting your kids fling open their doors and bang my van unless you plan to leave me a note and fix it.
I rode my bicycle with Lance Armstrong this weekend, and many of you helped me do that. This past weekend was the LiveStrong Challenge in Austin, TX that many of you graciously donated towards the team we put together to ride the event. Seven of us from the Frisco Cycling Club (FCC) raised $3310 and rode for our teammate's brother as he lost his fight to cancer 2 years ago. Our teammate is Jeff Ellis and he, I and a few others were the driver behind getting the FCC to where it is today- a community focused cycling club that has a larger goal than just riding a bike. Jeff's brother Tom was diagnosed with cancer but did not let that slow him down and he and Jeff road many miles and events together. I was proud to be part of this group and can't wait for next year, maybe you will join the club and ride with us?
Over the past few weeks, we've been talking about what kind of improvements can help add real value to your home in today's market. I'm not sure about you, but with four children ages five and under, Julie and I don't have a ton of time to figure out what will appeal to the masses.
So how do you figure out what's hot and not? Since we have still have an array of model homes in the area it's good to go check out the price range in which you would sell your house as well as one level up. For instance, if you think you'd want to sell your home for $250k, it would be a good idea to see what builders are offering in that range and the $300k range. This will help you understand what's standard at that price range and what you have in your home that would be noted as an upgrade. By looking at the next price bracket, it will also give you some ideas around what you can do to help make your home feel like a more expensive home helping to give you an edge over a new home.
Some great places to find the location of model homes in your area is move.com which includes a new home search engine that will help link you to builders' sites. Another way to see what homes in your range offer is by checking out what's currently listed on Realtor.com. Finally, home improvement and design sites, like those listed below, will help you give you ideas around current trends and some things you can do to improve your home.
That is the title of a documentary about this year's Leadville 100 bicycle race. You may remember reading the news that this year Lance Armstrong won the event. It will be shown on October 22nd at 7pm Cinemark Plano West location. Shown just a few days before the Austin LiveStrong ride and yes, you can still join the FCC team or donate to us.
The date this move is shown is a special milestone for Lance. His cancer was diagnosed on October 2, 1996. "October 2, 1996. The day it all changed. The day I started never to take anything for granted. The day I learned to take charge of my life. It was the day I was diagnosed with cancer." -Lance Armstrong
Tuesday, October 13th is a big day here in Frisco. It's the day that Frisco residents participate in National Night Out. Local residents are encouraged to get out of their houses, and into their neighborhoods, to connect and have some fun together. While we'd normally have our Tankard Fellowship on Tuesday, we're going to move this month's fellowship to Monday, October 12 at 8:30p. This way we can still connect with each other as well as participate in our local National Night Out activities.
