Life Church from Half A World Away

I'm glad I got to see these guys today!

Good Times, Good People.

So, we had a few people over last night:

• Alex & Jen McLean
• Chuck Hudson
• Josh McConnel & Christi Harris
• James Van De Water
• Chris Clark
• Robert & Maria Libert
• And a couple of Josh's and Christi's friends.

We ordered pizza from Murrieta Pizza & Brewing Company which was pretty good! They do offer a Military Discount FYI. Anyway, it was a pretty low tech evening so we didn't get any pictures; however, it was just a good little get together of some of our closest friends before we left.

Thank you for coming over guys! James, Chris and Josh are deploying with me, but I look forward to seeing the rest of you soon!

Sorry Alex, had to steal these from your blog! Ha ha...








































Oh, I'm going to so miss the fruits of technology while I'm gone. I'll just have to stick to my Radar's and Radio's in order to get my fix... :-(

Check this out:

I really hate it when something happens like this. Go check out Fred's Blog and see what's going on. Quick summary:

1. Fred does Online E-Business
2. Fred has an outside source that does some stuff for him.
3. The outside source screwed up (it happens).
4. It wasn't his fault and apologize to every single customer personally.
5. Most customers were cool, but a lot were not.
6. His account is being closed now because of this major screw up, bad complaints, and ratio's being skewed because of the screw up.

Anyway, check it out and pray for him. I really hate it when something is totally out of your control but it affects you in a very negative way. Who doesn't hate that? Seriously, this is something that his family depends on and it could serious hamper life in his household. Hopefully his "outside source" roger's up and helps to make things right so that his business can continue on.

A night of worship!

So,

I got home after driving 200 miles today and wanted to take a nap before I went over to Worship Practice at Alex's house. My wife succored me into going to the pool with the neighbors. So I went, on one condition! We get to go to practice, together! It worked especially since I wasn't going to be there on Sunday. I have to work, yeah! :-( I think she was bored till Jen got home with the kids then she was sitting with Miles and having a good conversation with the 4 and half year old. Stephanie is such an awesome mother!

Anyway, I was sitting there and I thought maybe it would be cool to get the camera out. So I went and rumaged thru Alex's truck and got one and started taping practice. The funny thing was that Alex was doing all the funny cool stuff when I wasn't recording. Go figure. I did however catch some really good video of everyone and seeing how even though it's practice you can get caught up in the song and worship God. Even if Alex was flat, Chris loose his part, or Rich goofing around on the drums. There was a moment when Alex's daughter, Macy came up to him and was looking up at him while he was singing. It was especially powerful for me because it was a song about looking up to God and all of his glory. I think it was the Matt Redman song, I could be wrong.

One thing about me, I always forget the name of songs and who sings them. It takes me a few months to figure it out! It also takes me forever to remember the words and the part that goes with it. I can usually get one or the other and if I'm singing with someone else, I'll nail it; however, it takes me months to get a solo down. I'm still trying to figure out why Alex wants me to sing! Well, maybe I'll give it a shot. Stephanie may not come because she's heard me sing in the car and in the shower! :-)

Anyway, I'm going to go to bed "early" and try to get to work early tomorrow. I've been goofing off way to much this week and need to catch up!

What to blog about?

You know, I have the urge to blog about something...but I don't know what! Any ideas?

I guess one really cool thing to check out is Karls Rant over at betterthanblank! It was a totally awesome e-mail!

Check it out. You might want to read it in parts! LOL
