Wake Up!!!

What do you do when you are awakened at 5 am by a call about an alarm going off at the church, and can't go back to sleep? You mess around with the camera. I tried to get some picks of the lunar eclipse, but the clouds weren't cooperating.

Pics from Sunday

Yeah, its a lot of pics, and sure I should delete some of them. But I think it takes away from the feel of it. So, enjoy!

Baptism and prayer room

So long, Christian Light (Bookstore)

Christian Light Bookstore in Nap-town is in what seems to be a snail's pace process of closing shop. I had been meaning to stop by for one last hurrah, and today was the day. Much to my delight , everything in the store is 70% off the original price. Needless to say I took advantage of it. I bought me a NASB Bible, a book by Donald Miller, and about 12 cds, in which 6 are cds I plan to hand out to a few people.

In other unrelated news, I despise Arby's again. I had been slowly warming up to the "5 for $5.95". Apparently now its "5 for $6.95".

Right now I hear a girlfriend voice being used in the house.

Where's Dave? (Just wanted to see if you are reading this.)

Its weird and sad not having all, or at least most of the SOAR kids around. Granted the two that are left behind are cool, but there was something about a bigger group, maybe because it was entertaining to see the personality clashes. Maybe because each one of them taught me something this summer.

I finally got my latest shipment of random shirts...two weeks after ordering them. But its all good. I'm just glad they came.

I'm anxious anticipating the arrival of Small Groups. I'm excited to jump in again with the same guys.

Wed night before the storm

Me and the nieces

Simpsonize Me

Well, everybody is doing it. So I figured, what the heck, I might as well try. Here's what came out:

What If His People Prayed?

Yes, I just referenced a Casting Crowns song. Forgive me, please. But, that is what is going on right now. There is a group of leaders and students taking shifts all night long to kick start (his overdue life as a star... sorry, A.D.D. moment) a week long of 24hr a day prayer leading up to school. I "wussed out" to quote Derry, a few minutes ago to attempt to get quality sleep in my bed.
I really enjoyed going on a prayer walk through the church. Hopefully as a body, we could do this more often.
