To DC and back

So, here are some pics from my trip in DC. Yes, that is Bob Dole. I told you all I met him.

Top 6 things I have done ove the past couple weeks.

I know it seems that I have fallen off the face of the earth. Well, thats not totally true. I also know that I have been promising forever that I would catch up to the world of blogging. I am about to start another blog to keep all of my supporters up-to-date on my ministry at LifePointe. I don't know how I am going to juggle between two blogs. Well, I guess I can since I juggled between 4 fantasy football teams and I won 2 out of 4. Yeah, NICE !!! Anyway, I thought I would make a top ten, things I have done over the past couple weeks, rather than write a ridicoulously long blog to catch you all up. In other words, I am just lazy and I don't care what you think. I am just kidding. Thanks and enjoy. Oh, feel free to drop a line. I would like to know if you all exist too.

TOP 6 Events from June 27th till now

1. Meet Senator Bob Dole at the World War II memorial in Washington DC
- I have the picture to prove it
2. Not get second hand smoke from a Dave Matthews Concert in DC

3. Eat at the cheese cake factory twice in one week

4. Not get a new iPhone but I got a new BlackBerry (even though I am a MAC user)

5. Hanging out with old friends Nate and Emilee a lot

6. Watch fireworks at the Knights Baseball stadium

Sorry I couldn't think of 10 exciting things. I live a boring life.

7.6 Worship Set

Here is this weeks worship set at LifePointe.

1. Enough by Chris Tomlin
2. You Said by Rueben Morgan
3. How Great is Our God by Chris Tomlin
4. Here I am to Worship (bridge and chorus only)

This weeks set was pretty short and because of the July weekend all of the band was out of town. So, that means it was acoustic Sunday. It was just 2 acoustics and a chic (my wife). It was really intimate worship set and not because my wife was standing next to me either. I guess you could say that I brought it old school too because most of those songs are 5 years and older. Thats ok.

Blog on its way!

Hey guys and gals, I just wanted to let you all know that I will be blogging about a lot soon but I am very busy now. You should see some cool stuff in a couple days like how I met Bob Dole and I how I kept from getting second hand smoke from a Dave Matthews concert. And it's not the kind of second hand smoke you get when your grandpa smokes out of his old tabacco pipe either.

281 miles later!!!

Well, Amber and I made it to Charlotte, NC. We are here to stay. The trip wasn't bad but the packing was horrible. I am going to be honest. I hate moving! It took almost 4 hours to pack a 26 foot truck and the sad thing is because I have so much crap. I am getting rid of a bunch of it. Oh, by the way if anyone is interested in a crock pot and a broken knee board- they are yours (free my friend). Anyway, overall the trip down was good. I felt very manly driving a diesel truck and I think I was just as tall as semi-truck drivers. It was pretty awesome because I could actually see what truck drivers did besides driving. I saw one guy eating a sub and watching the Little Mermaid. OK OK, I made that up but it would be pretty freakin hilarious. Back to the story! We are in Charlotte and we are loving it so far. I went to Area 15 in "uptown" Charlotte (not an alien site), it is one of those 24-7 prayer areas with art and pray stations. The LifePointe staff and I were invited by the director there. We had some cool conversations about being incarnational in the city of Charlotte and helping the poor. We came up with a lot of different ideas. The big challenge is to actually follow through with them. So, thats whats been going on the past couple days. So, whats up with you all.

6-22-08 set list

Pre-teaching songs:

1. You (Bigger than the air I breath) by Tim Hughes
2. You Said by Reuben Morgan/ Shane and Shane version
3. I Surrender All - traditional/ original arrangement

Post-teaching

4. Blessed Be Your Name by Matt Redman

This was my second week leading worship at LifePointe Christian Church. It went very well and I got to meet some more people. The band did an excellent job and I didn't break a string. I am getting used to leading from electric guitar but it went well. My original arrangement of I Surrender All went surprisingly well because it had a hip hop/R & B feel and that is a new musical genre that I am testing the waters. Those are probably not the best genres to describe the song but that's the first thing that came to mind. Maybe I will record it one day and one day you can hear it on the new Kanye West album. Or just on this blog.

Peace out!!!
