Hey look at me update!Last week I drove to Austin to see Jars of Clay play with my friends Nick and Bobby. The show was absolutely amazing and they played the majority of their newest c.d. "Good Monsters." If like music, you should definitely check out the c.d. because it is amazing – far and away my favorite album by them with 5 of the songs being off the charts awesome. The song that I am most

I think something we don't talk or think about enough is: Zombies. Seriously, what is up with them? Where do they come from? And why do I end up watching every freaking zombie movie out there even if most of them are total garbage? If we ever encounter zombies in our lifetime, I am pretty confident that I have played enough Resident Evil and watched enough crappy horror flicks that I would

Two posts in two days – and who says Christmas only comes once a year.My friend Nick loves Dave Matthew Band and flew up to Seattle to see them play three concerts in three nights. My love for Caedmon’s Call and Derek Webb might not be quite as impressive as his love for Dave Matthews is, but over three days a few weeks ago, I did get to see my main man Derek Webb play three concerts. I went on

I thought canceling cable was supposed to make me post more, but I guess I think a lot of things most of which don’t turn out as planned. I have started several posts but I end up pausing halfway through them only to never return to writing, so maybe one day I’ll finish those up and you all will get many posts at once.

I am a daydreamer. I have been for as long as I can remember. When I was in High School I would sit in class and just daydream for most of the day. I would dream about ninjas taking over the school and me having to fight them all off. Or dinosaurs invading San Antonio, I loved Jurassic Park at the time, the book not the movie, I hated that one. Or about nuclear war and me and a few other

Howdy friends - I went to camp earlier this week and i get to go back tomorrow for a whole week - pretty exciting eh? While I was there on Tuesday, Colter, one of the day camp counselors got sick and I ended up co-counseling his group with my friend Teri.

Sheesh you don’t update you blog for like 2 months and everyone has a conniption.Last week Nick, Aaron, Peter, Bobby and myself rented a van and headed out to Las Vegas. The trip was great, not really “restful” but a ton of fun. We played some mad trivial pursuit in the van, almost ran out of gas and even talked our way out of a ticket. Here are some more highlights: Bobby and I playing blackjack

When I was a boy I loved Lego’s – they were the greatest toys ever made. I had a ton of the space and medieval Lego’s – the dumb city ones were for girls. One year for Christmas I wanted an awesome castle set that had cannons that fired, sweet knights and a drawbridge – I would have been the envy of all the nerd kids with this amazing set. But then I saw a movie called “The Wizard,” about 2 kids

Amber's dad calls me Peter Parker. I'm not sure why he came up with this as a nickname for me, oh and by the way Peter Parker is Spiderman, all I know is that it makes me smile. If I ever get around to posting more movies, you'll see that Spiderman is way higher on my list then it probably should be, because well - I love Spiderman.

I was recently asked what was my favorite memory from college. As the flood of images came pouring in I had a rough time picking just one. I thought about Friday nights at waterloo, nick throwing my credit card across the restaurant, Brandon leaving his number, vonder paying in nickels, and Duane falling asleep. I thought about trivia and two-for-one pizza roles at double daves, how the only time

Hey everybody, sorry I did not update on Monday –I’ve been sick. Spurs game was last Thursday – and it sucked. The Spurs lost by one point because McGrady played awesome and we played stupid. The Spurs gave the game away -we had it won – but we made a few careless errors and Devin Brown is horrendous – I don’t understand how he gets any minutes much less crunch time minutes.

So last night Charles came over and somehow we ended up watching old nickalodeon gameshows that were on one of the 15 different nickalodeons I get- Man remember Double Dare, legends of the Hidden Temple, and Guts -wow those shows definitely have not aged well - but they were very amusing - I always wanted to be on Double Dare and go up the chocolate slide in the end.

i just had this exchange at the Taco bell drive through: Guy: "may i take your order please?" Me: "one second" Guy "one second, that'll be 4 dollers at the first window." Maybe that wasn't exciting for y'all but I rarely laugh at loud because of a fast food employee.

Howdy friends, it's been awhile - But this will be a long post so maybe that makes up for it. I just walked over to walgreens to buy some sour-patch kids but they were out of them so I tried gummy sweettart bugs thinking they must be similar. Boy was I wrong - they can't compare to the greatness of sourpatch kids and they were 20 cents more - freaking bugs. So Charles and I drove on up to

Ok if you haven't gotten Caedmon's Call new CD "share the well " yet, stop reading my blog and go get it right now. It is so good - they made it as they toured several third world countries so they use a lot of musical styles from those countries and many of the songs are based on their experiences there - so in conclusion it rules and if you don't think so, you're dumb. My favorite songs are "

So yesterday, Lee, Charles and I went to the Astros Game. It was the first major league baseball game I've ever been too, even though "surprise surprise" no one engaged me at this one - i guess that just happends to my friends. It was fun even if the astros lost - not that I am really all that affected by that, but when we were parking the car in some pay lot, a homeless man told us the lot was

If you've called me and I haven't answered my phone lately - don't take offense - my phone just sucks and has a battery time of about 13 seconds and the wall charger is broken - so it only works in the car. I'll try to put out more movies by tomorrow.

Caedmon's Call is coming to Houston on October 12th - tickets are 15 bucks - who's going with me? And that's the same day their new CD, "Share the well," comes out - which basically makes it the best day in the history of the world.

Houston has been good to me so far, my shower was broken for a while – it would just trickle out and now they “Fixed” it and you can’t turn the shower off whenever you turn on the water it just starts shooting out. But it is an intense amount of water pressure now it is truly a shower that would kill a lesser man – so I love it. Nick came up last weekend, we played golf watched some basketball on

Yeah so I almost got a puppy today. It was running around one of my churches and there was a big debate on whether or not to call the pound. I decided I would take it home rather then let it go to the pound, but one of the teachers took him instead. Probably for the best since I can't really affford it, but I still wanted to keep him.

It was good to see some of my old friends out there even if it was just briefly. I think my kids had a good time out there, I had a blast.

It was awesome - here are two things that made me laugh: We went camping for the bachelor party and Nick would break off branches from the nearby trees and place the leafy part in the fire. Then he would pull it all out and hold it over our friend Pete's head and say "Spotlight on Pete. Here's my man Pete, he's the man." And Pete had

Whew - I'm such a blog slacker. Well first let's get to the animal face-off picks and results. The lion beat the tiger, because the tiger was repealed by the lions mane - yeah I know - it was complete crap. The next fight was between a Hippo and Shark and I picked the Hippo because I figured it would only need to bite the shark once in order to win. Of course the hippo won, the shark couldn't

Ok - animal face off was awesome. The shark won against the croc. The croc couldn't stay underwater very long so when he went up for air - BAM - shark got his belly just as I predicted. They had a double matchup with an elephant vs. a rhino. In this one the elephant won, and I predicted the rhino. So that stinks, but they took into account intelligence - which we never even considered. Next week

I without hesitation responded "I'm going to Japan to compete in a "dance dance revolution" (a video game where you dance to hit the buttons) tournament."

The part I didn't like in the passion was when the thief's eyes get pecked out by a crow. Here's Jesus on the cross calling out to God to forgive everyone and a thief makes a desperate comment and God sends a bird to peck out his eyes. Didn't correlate to me, and I put a lot of theological stock in the "Father forgive them, they know not what they do" phrase. It is here the I find the heart of my

I saw The passion today - dang it was pretty intense and pretty amazing too. I really liked most of it. My favorite "non-scriptural" part of the movie is when Simon of Cyrene was called on to carry the cross of Jesus, and he clarifies to the crowd saying "I am an innocent man forced to carry a condemned man's cross." Well Simon was almost right - only Jesus should have said those words. All the

Howdy all - it’s snowing here in Lubbock again so I figured that’s a good sign to work on my blog. I recently read the parable of the Wise and Foolish builders in Matthew which reads “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house;

So the other night I went to the emergency room. I cut my hand cooking and it was a pretty deep cut and it was pretty gross looking. When the nurse at the front desk was checking it out, he said "Hey look -there's your hand muscle." Yeah - I really didn't need to hear or see that - thanks dude. I was with the doctor about 4 minutes and all she did was put some glue stuff on there. I was ticked -

If you want to see an amazing picture of me - check out this link. It's the bomb. I just got digital cable which came with like 25 movie channels, ohh baby, I don't think I'm ever going to leave my apartment again.

So last night It froze here in Lubbock and the sprinklers at the Lutheran Center came on and got the volleyball net all wet, so this morning there was like a sheet of ice all over the volleyball net. It was so cool looking, and I went and threw rocks at it, it was awesome.

Well it's Christmas time, I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful holiday. Over the past month it seems like I've had to do about a million children's messages on Christmas, so I've had plenty of time to think about what Christmas means to me. Well this year I have been struck by the humility of God in the birth story. He goes from holding the world in His hands to being held in the arms

I saw The return of the King yesterday - It was pretty awesome even though it refused to end. And it had a preview for Spiderman 2 coming out this July. I'm so pumped, I love spiderman. Well -Preaching went really well, I heard quite a bit of positive feedback, but during the second service I forgot to lead the Lord's prayer. And my mom didn't applaud - wow, I was sure she would. Well -I hope to

One of my pastors had surgery yesterday, so today for work I went over to his house and we watched Die Hard and Terminator 2 the two best action movies ever (others receiving votes: Gladiator, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Big Trouble in Little China). Man, my job rules.

Spent the last 2 and half hours listening to caedmon's call and playing freecell - I love my life. I saw the Last samurai this past weekend - it was pretty good, except before the movie started I had to watch 3 (yeah freaking 3) commercials for body spray. But there was a preview for a move called "the day after tomorrow" that looks like it could be pretty good. And I guess the concessions guy

Ok all my bloggets, sorry I haven’t been here in a while, I’ll try to do better. Well, my trip to Denver was a pretty darn good one, here’s what happened: My friend Nick flew into the Lubbock Airport at 9 on Thursday. I picked him up and we hit the road. After the customary talk about how things were going, the latest gossip on our friends, and basketball, we did what we seem to always do on

Happy Thanksgiving from Big L - working on some stuff about our trip right now, I'll put it out soon. (I always put this statement, but this time it's true) Whenever Mr. Rogers would speak in front of people he would always begin his speech by asking the audience to pause for a minute and think about the people who have had an influence on them. Wow, as I think about everyone in my life, I know

Ok - I've been really bad about this whole blog thing recently... sorry to all y'all out there...hmmm, no words of wisdom today, but I am working on some stuff and I will put it out soon. Tomorrow my friend nick is flying into big L, and then we're driving to Denver to see our friends Lee and Julie. I told my pastors on Tuesday the plan, and they asked what we would do if it snowed. Well, after

I wish that I was an actor in a really bad movie, then all my friends and family would have to go see it, and after when I would ask them if they liked it, they would have to try to make it sound like they liked it even thought it sucked - that would be fun.

See previous post for the beginning of this blog. Well if I was offered a B for free I would take it in a heartbeat and then never come to class again. I even know what class I would want that for – Greek. Man, I hated taking Greek; in fact if the prof. offered me a D to never come to class again I probably would have taken it. Well I think that this can teach us quite a bit about Grace. In

So I mentioned before how much I love saved by the bell - which is definitely the defining show of my generation. Well any who - I was thinking about this one episode of the college years, where Zack hates going to class and strikes a deal with the professor, that if Zack makes a video about what women want, the professor will give him a B for the class. Well Zack and Screech go out and crazy

You know what I hate abut VH1's "I love the 80's?" Whenever they have Mandy Moore or Hansen talking agout 80's stuff - they're younger then I am for crying out loud. What does Mandy Moore know about 1982? Unless she's talking about how cool pedi-lite was - I'm not buying it. I hope that I become a c-list celebrity soon - so that VH1 can ask me to be a part of "I love the 90's." I would love to

So I’m reading this book by Phillip Yancey right now called “I was just wondering,” and I really like it. It is basically a book of questions and some of Yancey’s thoughts. In one chapter he is talking about Alcoholics Anonymous and a friend of his, who is a part of AA. Yancey asks his friend what AA can provide that the church cannot. His friend responds with “Dependency.” And goes on with: “

So the other week I went to a nursing home with one of my pastors to do some observations. Now I don’t know if you knew this but I hate nursing homes. I really do, it’s not that I hate old people, but nursing homes make me feel really uncomfortable. I think it’s because I am petrified of going senile in a nursing home when I get older, and because if my fear, I hate being around them. I see these

Here in Lubbock, I get $50 to spend on resources every month. Needless to say that money is gone by the 4th of each month. I am addicted to books; I find it hard to pass up on sales especially when the Church is paying. Well, I recently purchased “God in the Dock,” a collection of essays by C.S. Lewis. In these essays Lewis writes that man once used to picture God as a Judge and us as the

Well- I’m sorry all my little bloggets out there that I have neglected my blog for so long. I’ll try to be better at it… At work I usually listen to the radio station Air1 and it’s definitely the best Christian radio station I have ever listened too.

Yeah so I just saw a commercial for a home bidet (phonetically spelled- ba – dey – yeah I had to look it up) called washlet - wow - it made me cry I was laughing so hard.

Spoiler alert- don’t read today’s blog if you don’t want to know the ending of Terminator 3. Well at the end of Terminator 3, John Conner says that they were not destined to stop Judgment Day but only to survive it. Well I disagree with the movie, I don’t believe in destiny or fate. And I feel that the phrase “God has a plan for us” is very misleading. I feel that is makes us think that God has

My thoughts on fate are taking too long...so I'll just have a short one for today. The movie "A Mighty Wind" came out today...I'm leaving for Wal-Mart in a sec to go buy it, I can't wait it was so funny. By the way Terminator 3 was awesome.

Who brings a baby to see Terminator 3? I mean come on. That kid was crying within the first five minutes. I watched Magnolia last night, and I loved it. I pride myself on my love for all kinds of movies from Blockbuster action films to low budget comedies and dramas. I can't believe I missed this one till now. Well, I'll be writing about both T-3 and Magnolia later because they both deal with

When I was a boy I used to hate taking baths. I would often hide at bath time or lie and say that I already had taken a bath. In fact I hated everything that had to do with cleanliness. My mother had to fight me in order to get me to dress nice, and I refused to ever wear a tie. When my friend Bobby was a kid, he would take off his dress pants in church because he hated wearing them. Man, I don’t

Last night I watched a movie called “The Grey Zone,” which portrayed an even more unsettling aspect about the holocaust. It was about Jews who would work in the concentration camps ushering in the new convoys of Jews into the gas chambers in exchange for 4 more months of life. Let me tell you intense is too tame of a word for this movie. The movie stars Harvey Kietel, David Arquette, Mira Sorvino

In an episode of the Simpsons, Bart and Lisa tell their dad that they are the MTV generation they feel neither highs nor lows. "What's it like?" asks Homer. The kids respond "Ehhh," with a shrug of their shoulders. I feel that two huge problems that the American church faces today are apathy and laziness. We are apathetic about the state of this world and we are more concerned with keeping up
