    Joel Osteen's upbeat message is in high demand 07:13 PM CST on Monday, December 13, 2004 By Jeremy Desel / 11 News Click to watch video He's a preaching phenomenon. He's a minister who is no longer walking in his father's footsteps. Joel Osteen has risen to national stardom and turned Lakewood Church into the largest church in America. KHOU-TV Joel Osteen talks about the success of his new book as he travels to a book signing in Arkansas. His upbeat message is in demand, as evidenced by selling a million of his books in seven weeks. After preaching to thousands on Sunday, Monday should be a day of rest. It is anything but that for Joel Osteen. For him, it's time to pack the bags and fly. Jets, a national tour and a million-selling book are still amazing to this pastor who wasn't even a pastor five years ago. "I wouldn't have believed it. I would have said 'you're kidding, that's not me'. I didn't even think it was necessarily in me. I couldn't even have dreamed that up and I would have said 'no way'," Osteen says. The first stop is Little Rock, Arkansas, where his first book autograph is for the receptionist at the television station where he is making an appearance. The big show is down the road from the station, where hundreds wait for him at Wal-Mart. Before Victoria and Joel Osteen's day began, Beverly Johnson was on the road. She got up at 5 a.m. and was the first person in line to have his book signed. Johnson's cart was full of books and one beverage bottle. "It's his charisma. It's his wisdom that he's giving us for everyday living," she says. The line wound through the store and took two minutes to walk from the front to the end of the line. "It's the way he breaks it down to us. It's so simple, but it's attainable goals. It's things that we can do every day," says Tennessean Denise Bradley. For the signing, 1,000 copies of the book were brought to the Wal-Mart. Events such as this have made Osteen's book a number one best seller on the New York Times list this week. Those numbers don't take into account Osteen's base -- faith-based book stores. "It's been a very pleasant surprise that the message has crossed over into the whole community, because we never wanted to reach just the Christian community. We've reached them, and we keep talking to them and it just feels like that we ought to get beyond the church borders," says Osteen.

    Some of y'all don't read. The article tells you plan and simple who is the largest church, Lakewood, and people come up with some church called what Potter's House?! I think you haven't even seen the video I posted last week? Even an article that Pineda posted tells you plan and simple. What church is going to have an ice rink, basketball, entertainment for concerts, conventions, a youth center that look like chuck e chesse inside, retail and dinning complex, offices, etc. Then on top of it, it's here in the fourth largest city in the nation, Houston, Texas.

    Do Houston really needs another theme park? Houstonians these days rather travel to Universal Studios in Florida to have a good time. Six Flags Astroworld is not even on the top 25 theme parks in the country, and besides it has really low ratings. The only theme park is mention is Arlington, Texas Six Flags over Texas, and that just barely made it to the top 25. It's alot of things to do in Houston besides Astroworld! Majority of visitors come to Houston and sight see, and visit Astroworld. The only way I see Houston getting another theme park is, somebody buys out Astroworld, or just buy out Six Flags period, or a company merge with Six Flags. I can not see two theme parks in Houston, somebody really going to lose money, and that probably be Astroworld. If they had built that theme park in the dome like they said they was, Astroworld would be a setting hull. Astroworld is nothing be long ass lines for one, second, half of the damn rides do not work, third, they need to clean up more around that place cause it look like crap. They think by adding more new rides to the park would attract more people. Astroworld is on the edge of getting their feelings hurt, like one time in the news a Scotland family visit Astroworld, and they said "this is a nasty place to visit. I will not recommend people to visit this place. Trash all over the place. It's not well kept." That's a shame for an international family to say that.

    Landrys owner Tilliman is not even thinking about building an theme park. He didn't even mention nothing about a park period. y'all need to stop making things up, and looking for things to talk about cause this ain't going nowhere dreaming. The closest theme park we will see is Kemah Boardwalk, and downtown aquarium. Please people stop all these rumors, cause it's not even true. thanks

    Wow. Alot of people really posting about the Dome, and there's no news about this famous architecture. I'll wait until some news about the Dome get's out first, then I post.

    After it's built, this will be the largest church in the U.S.

    Check out this website of the new lakewood church central, and scroll down to Vision and click on windows media. They will show you everything that the new building will have in the video. This is going to be a great facility not only for churchgoers, also for the public and business. http://www.lakewood.cc/intl_center_information.htm

    What type of tenants is going to be at Sakowitz building, Subdude?
  15. houstonsemipro
    You know, I thought of something just now. If this project get's built downtown it will open the doors for other retail and entertainment developers in downtown, and midtown areas.
  16. houstonsemipro
    I agree with Sunstar on this one. This will never get off the ground. Probably never see the time of day on this propose project.

    Dec. 3, 2004, 12:05AM Neiman Marcus says it's Last Call Upscale bargains abound at Katy clearance center By CLIFFORD PUGH Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Upscale bargain hunters, rejoice. ADVERTISEMENT The Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance Center opens today at Katy Mills with a store full of designer names at cut-rate prices. At a store preview Thursday, we found such items as a $2,400 Prada crocodile clutch for $850, a $140 Tracy Reese white cardigan for $49, a $310 Nicole Miller plum cocktail dress for $108, and an $895 Hugo Boss men's brown striped suit for $500. The Neiman Marcus clearance center is the 13th such store to open in the nation and the first in Houston. (The Neiman Marcus Town & Country store contains an outlet that features discount merchandise from the chain's catalog. The new Katy Mills store contains merchandise from stores, the catalog division and end-of-season merchandise from vendors.) "It's a necessary evil in retail that you always have something left over," said Gayle Tremblay, vice president of the Neiman Marcus clearance division. Unsold sale merchandise from the 35 Neiman Marcus stores is shipped to Longview, where it is sorted and repackaged to the outlet stores. "We take a leftover treasure from one part of the country, like a size 6 Chanel jacket in Chicago, and marry it with another, like a size 6 Chanel skirt in Arizona," said Tremblay, who managed the Galleria store from 1989 to 1997. "We put it together and back in (an outlet) store." She pointed out that all but one of the 13 outlet stores is located near cities with full-service Neiman Marcus stores. "It's actually a nice complement," she said. "We consider this a great introduction to Neiman Marcus." As it happens at most outlet stores, sizes and styles vary. But some treasures can be found. A pair of Manolo Blahnik gold stilettos, regularly $865, are on sale for $579. An $895 Georgio Armani jacket is $223. A DKNY fur cape has been slashed from $1,500 to $525. A jeweled Judith Leiber handbag is reduced from $3,600 to $2,355. Trembly offered shoppers this advice: "When you shop here, you'd better buy it when you see it, because it won't be here tomorrow," she said. Seasoned shoppers can also take note: Rival Saks Fifth Avenue has a discount outlet a few doors down. clifford.pugh@chron.com

    I was trying to find them too 713 to 214. But I can get my girl from d.c. to tell me, or somebody in here put up an website. But I think Houston so far has 82 consulates.
  21. houstonsemipro
    Alot of fans think the same. They do expect texans to make it to the playoffs this year. They have a good enough team to make it, but poor coaching staff. Read the article dude, before talking.

    Excuse me, but I'm tired of people saying the Texans are a rookie team. They are not a rookie team. They just like the rest of the 31 teams in the NFL, so that is no excuse. They have good players on that team losing all their games like this. I don't blame it on the players, I blame it on the coaches. The Texans have a good enough team this year to go to the playoffs, no excuse. They just have to think about next season, and get rid of some players, as well as coaches.
  25. houstonsemipro
    Disgrace? This team call the texans are a disgrace, pass that. They can't win crap. Dallas cowboys aint doing crap either, but they do have a name, we don't.
