Apologies for the lack of video in a timely manner. The workload and birthday festivities have been a bit time-consuming ... even with one of them cancelled!

I will have a nice clip of Darlene from the Spanish service posted soon, assuming it turns out nicely. And with a little luck, I'll go back in time and clip the Janet Dokes special from the week before.

In other news, I'm slowly wading through Joel's latest book. Of the three books, they've both been very different for me to soak in. The first was based on sermons delivered before I had ever attended Lakewood. The second was based on sermons delivered while I was taking rather attentive notes of each sermon. I particularly enjoyed the second book since it was a brisk read and a great reminder of a lot of material that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The latest book is based on sermons delivered while I've been hanging back a bit, sometimes to the point of taking in other distractions around church on Saturdays. I've also broadened my range of other sermons to listen to from points elsewhere. All the material has been heard since I've usually gotten three doses of each sermon. But reading them is a bit fresher this time and it's great reading them in a way to maximize the attention span on Joel's message.

With a little luck, I'll get around to some blog posts on the book.
