feel good story

Have you seen The Dark Knight? If you haven't, you really should. It is an awesome movie. I came across this article today about Heath Ledger, the actor who (awesomely) played the Joker in the above mentioned movie. Apparently he had not updated his will to include his daughter. The article explains the rest.

Olympics

So, I've become an Olympic junkie. I'm loving it. Watched every Michael Phelps race (or as I imagine Pres. Bush calls him, "Phelpsy"... Beavis is our president! Rock on Beavis!!!) I've watched Phil Dahlhausser and Todd Rogers annihilate their beach volleyball competition (or as P.B. calls them "Toddly and the Big Guy"... did I mention Beavis?). Diving, water polo, equestrian, steeplechase, track and field, marathon... anything and everything on the NBC networks. But, I came across this article on yahoo that sums up the events where judging is involved... mainly, gymnastics. If you've watched any, you know exactly what I mean. C'mon... something smells fishy there, and its not the seafood restaurants. Read this article and you'll know what I mean.

A girl landing two faults on her feet HAS to be better than a girl landing her second fault on her knees... I'm not a gymnastics expert, but really... it's an easy call.

sorry

so, yeah, haven't been nearly as consistent doing this thing as I had hoped. sorry. here are some highlights from the past couple of weeks.

• talked to Dr. Greg Sloop today at the Lee University Charlotte Center. Hoping to do some adjunct teaching there, most likely this spring.
• I have to develop a new resume/c.v. for the above.
• Been married for four years this Thursday. YAY!
• Attendance was solid again Sunday at church. Don't know the final count, but the sanctuary looked about 60 % full, and we were missing several families.
• God moved in a great way Sunday morning. Good stuff. I've heard one pastor say he still believes in "suddenlies". Its good to experience that sort of thing.
• Just watched the new NOOMA video. If you haven't seen it, go here and watch it. It's awesome. not sure if you need a facebook account, but those are free.
• We kick off OXYGEN next Wednesday. I'm believing that God wants to save nearly 50 teens over the next 10 months. That's daring, considering thats twice as many as we currently have.
  
• The teen ministry team is going great. Kids are asking to be involved, growing in their walk with Jesus, and looking forward to small group time. Its been a great first four months.

Thats all for now. Hopefully I'll actually update more often. Oh yeah, the guy who commented on the ProPresenter thing saying to export EasyWorship songs as text files, I found out thats not possible. But I did find a couple of plugins that allow me to play .mp4 and .mov files in EasyWorship. That helps alot!
