Christmas Text-fessional for 2007
Sunday the High Schooler’s met at 11 AM with the Jr. Higher’s. Andy LaChance leads the JH worship, but he asked me to play along on electric. I haven’t played electric with the band in several months. ‘Twas fun. Here is the rundown.
Blessed Be Your Name – G – I’ve never sang this song this low… That was a weird range for [...]

So the Golden Compass is bombing thus far (see this weekend’s chart). The movie cost upwards of 600mil to make. Although its third this week, only 8 Mil after around 26 in the opening weekend is a really bad sign for the movie. Good movies don’t lose that much steam no matter what other box-office hits come out… It’s still early, so if it stays steady [...]

Blake has a great idea for shifting from commercialism to commission this Christmas and beyond. I encourage you to read all you can about this 20$ bottle of water. Check all the various links on Blake’s post concerning Charity:Water, they’re informational and inspiring.

I am not a grinch… i’m just not a fan of most Christmas songs. 1) they’re dumb. 2) seriously, they’re really dumb… little drummer boy? what the hell is that?
If they were so great, wouldn’t we hear them year round? Great music is great music, it doesn’t matter when you hear it. Case in point, I could listen to the Trans-Siberian Orchastra’s Christmas stuff any day [...]

Here’s what I hope to accomplish: encouragement, edification, solutions, opportunities, vision, hope.
Here’s what I hope to avoid: biting criticism, one-up-menship, problems without possibilities, attention directed towards me – i.e., I’m not trying to toot my own horn but as a point of reference, sometimes I will talk about me/my family.
Here’s what I want you to know: If you feel I reference you or your blog, [...]

Man that is a horrible title for a post…
Barnes and Noble has become a regular lunch stop of mine at some point during my work week. We’re all familiar with the layout… Row upon row of full stocked shelves interspersed with feature tables aptly titled… ”Family Christmas”, “New In Paperback”, “For Your Pet”
I pick a different section to browse on most weeks; poetry, classic literature, leadership, and even [...]

English Comp II is officially over as my final paper’s grade was just posted. The class was highlighted by two papers really. The final paper was about contemporary poets using technology to bring more exposure to the art. I’m not even that serious of a poet anymore, but it was still a fun paper to write… cause i’m a dork i guess.
The other paper that [...]

worship text-fessional for Sunday, November 25 2007 at Fuel student ministry’s Ignite Senior High service.
Last week (the 18th) was horrid. So I didn’t want to talk about it. Basically the volume in the house was changed from practice and while the stage sounded fine, the mains hummed / distorted the whole time. I was oblivious to it until the last song when it broke down to just [...]

Everytime I ask you for help, I am asking you for money. So far, i have sadly been let down. … However, that is to be expected because basically I was asking you to support my sports habits.
This time, though I will not ask you for money. I have winter break coming very soon. This is my last week of Comp II, and I have [...]
