2nd annual Fourth of July Cookout

Each year we plan a time for our entire tech crew to get together with our families to eat, play, hang out, and shoot fireworks. This year was no different. Although I was out most of the day, several volunteers pitched in to make the event possible. Thanks to Linda, Danny, James, Lloyd Justin and my wife Christy for making the event go so smooth. This year was a lot of fun as we took turns playing golf on our mini-driving range, horse shoes, volleyball, and 'red-neck' golf (thanks Randy). This year we had a bit of excitement while shooting the fireworks off. One of the fireworks got loaded in sideways and you can see the result below. Thankfully no one got hurt in the making of this picture. Thank goodness for blast shields...

Acafest 2008

It's time for Acafest again, and this year I will be speaking on Worship Technologies. I look forward to reconnecting with Keith Lancaster and being there for as long as possible. With the new house, it's gonna be tough to stay as long as I would like, but those are the breaks. Anyway, if you attended my session and would like the notes, just click here. Also, if you have any questions from the session please feel free to email me here.

Vote for Joshua's School!!!

Hey guys! We are trying to raise some money for Joshua's school...so if you feel inclined, please go here and vote for his school. (besides, two of my favorite kids in the world are starring in the video!!) Big Lots is doing a contest for schools across the nation. We want our school (Thurman Francis Arts Academy) to win, so vote away. You can vote 3 times a day, so come back each day and vote 3 times. I NEVER forward things like this to people in a mass email, but if you are one of those people, I won't get my feelings hurt if you do it to your address book! :)

Once you click on the link above, you will need to do a search by zip code. see pic...

Back from Camp Whatever

Well, we made it back from Camp Whatever in one piece. What an incredible week as we saw God move in the lives of Students and Adults all week. We were led in music all week by Dave Hunt. What a great man of God. So much wisdom and talent. Adam Robinson spoke and did a great job unpacking God's word through stories and just the reading of the Word.

I was honored to be a part of such a great experience. I have posted some videos below that I edited each day for the morning worship times. Special thanks to Sully and Kurtis for getting the footage and to Sully for helping with Friday's final graphic. You guys rock! Enjoy the videos::

Joshua can swim

Today marked Joshua's last day of swimming lessons. He is just like a fish in water...except for the arms, legs, hands, feet, neck, hair........um, on second thought, he is nothing like a fish in water...more like a 7 year old boy who just learned how to swim. He is doing great! We are looking forward to our first trip to the lake so he can show off!

On the road again

Just got this picture of Jason sent from his phone. When I went to view it, I saw the advertisement in the column and thought it was fitting.

Finished painting the bathroom

Christy and I have finally finished changing out the wallpaper and painting for the weekend. What a job! Anyway, we hope that this "new look" will sit better with people as the house shows. Keep your fingers crossed!
