Helping Eastern North Carolina

What a tremendous month! To kick this month off, I was priviledged to conduct a "Choice Rally" at Newport Elemetary with nearly 200 students. This high energy event focused on the power each student has to make life the choices that matter.

And then just yesterday I teamed up with the New Bern Police Deparment and provided a 4 hour workshop at the Eastern Carolina Youth Council's 7th Annual Youth Summit. I am still amazed at the magnitude of this event and how many lives we were able to impact. I discussed the serious dangers of joining a street gang, the gauranteed outcomes of gang life, and the positive life alternatives that are at the disposal of everyone!

"The Choice is Theirs" is rapidly moving from a quaint little phrase to an impacting motivational tool that stirs the hearts of all who hear it! This Friday I will be a Croatan High School to deliver another thought provoking, life changing "Choice Rally" hope to see you there! CLK

A New Cake Recipe

Wow! What an amazing Easter! We are gearing up for some big end of the year events throughout Eastern North Carolina. One highlight of my Easter weekend was when my 16 year old son wanted to bake a cake for the family the night before Easter.

First thing he did was he started baking the cake late around 10:30p.m.

The next thing he did was correctly put the cake batter in the oven at 350 degrees.

The last thing my dear son did was lay down for a quick nap...

All he remembers is me hitting him in the head with a pillow to get him up at around 5:30a.m. the following morning. I think his cake was more than ready.

His actions could have easily burnt the house down, and killed us all... but instead we were all able to laugh the next morning. This was the most important ingredient in the whole recipe...laughter.
