THE POWER OF PRAYER BEHIND ILLUMINATION

On the second floor of the Corona Civic Center Auditorium, a handful of faithful Christians from CICF huddled together in an obscure area with no climate control and faithfully prayed simultaneously while Illumination 2009 was going on.

These faithful members sacrificed watching Illumination 2009 themselves in order to provide active "prayer support" during the event.

Thank you Prayer Team for your committment, your sacrifice, and your faithfulness. I thank God for all of you.

The "poignant" picture above taken by photographer Declan Murphy captures the mood and secluded location of the prayer team.

A DAY IN LA

So the kids are off this week (Myles on spring break and Paul off track), all the prep for Illumination tired me out and I needed a little break, and so my wife Cory suggested a whole day excursion to go to our favorite place for some delicious "New Orleans Beignets" at The Grand Lux Cafe! And so yesterday, that's what we did!

Although it was overcast and a little cold, we also made plans to drive to the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. What a wonderful place to just stroll around, take your time, enjoy the surroundings, and experience the "California Beach Culture."

It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day spending time with my family.
