2nd day at the park

i went to the park of melbourne which is an indoor skatepark, built by team pain. high noon was the perfect time. i had the bowl all to my self. now at 32 years old, and on my second trip i started get a little feel for it again, while carving the bowl and pulling off some 50-50's. i may have to fit this into my routine.

reflections for christmas

with christmas coming so quickly this year, i have been reminded at a few different times to experience christmas this year. yet, as i say that tonya and i have only dinner together at home once since december 3rd. as i look at the calendar today, it will be that way until we return home after christmas, even on our anniversary. i truly value the time that she and i have together at home. i enjoy a quiet evening and as i look at my calendar, it has not been fair to her to have had some much happening during this season. i will need to make some changes next year.

often the celebration of the season is lost in the busyness of the season. i want to be able to just be at home for christmas and enjoy that time together. at the same time i have had some quiet reminders of what the holiday is about. giving because of what was given. it makes think of all the ways others have given to me throughout this past year. tonya gives to me in some great ways. she is patient with me. she adjusts for me. she takes care of things, so that i don't have to be concerned about it. she protects me and watches out for me. and she loves me in ways that make me feel great in all the little things she does.

she reminds me of what christmas is about. it's not about the busyness and going to all the parties. it's not about giving gifts because that person gave you a gift and you just have to reciprocate. it's giving freely because of the love you have for others. it's giving without expecting a return. it's giving of that surprise gift that was never expected. it's thinking of what makes others happy and spending time doing those things. it's giving not just of things but of yourself. it's giving because of what was given.

xbox 360 #4 & 5

as you may remember from my earlier posts that xbox #2 died back in february. well, to resolve that situation, i bought xbox #3 with the extended warranty plan at best buy. this would allow me to replace the xbox 360 on the same day that it breaks. notice i didn't say if it breaks. xbox #2 was sitting on a shelf in a closet still broken.

this summer microsoft, generously decided to extend their warranties on the hardware to two years. seemed reasonable and expected. with this news i called the service center and recieved a shipping box in the mail to have it repaired again. on the original machine that is the second repair. when i received it back, i was actually sent a new xbox completely. i discovered this by the manufacture date on the rear of the machine. we will call this one xbox #4.

now, yesterday, december 1st, 2007 xbox 360 #3 also died. this time, i took it back to best buy and it was replaced with no hassle, same day, for xbox #5.

i would definitely recommend buying the extended warranty on this product. it is highly likely that it will die at some point. the extended warrant cost $38 at best buy for two years and save you the convenience on sending it out to be sent back - about a 2 week process. eliminates the down time. to me, it was worth it.

here's what it looks like:

you can read about it through microsoft's support page. their support phone number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

so xbox #4 (the repair by microsoft) is now being used. how long will it last? no idea. however #5 is in waiting, sitting quietly in its box, prepared to fill in as soon as it is needed.

i can't believe this is real. but if your machine ever just randomly plays "fur elise" the truth of the matter is that your CPU fan has failed. you should get it serviced. here's the actual microsoft help and support page on the issue.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows


i have now finished book 7 in the series. first let me say this is greatest set of books i have read. i haven't read many novels, but this was amazing! i began with the first book in june and finished the final chapter this week.

prior to beginning the i made a couple of predictions. 2 came out right and the one completely wrong. i did share these with others before i started reading the book.

SPOILER ALERT! as if you haven't read this book yet.

the first was that harry potter would have to sacrifice himself to die for others to live. TRUE. this was easy to guess. i had heard that j.k. rowling was religious and the themes in the book illustrated her beliefs. the only magic harry knew the voldemort didn't was love. the greatest love is this, that one would lay down his life for another. it had already happened with his mom and now it was his turn. while he was resurrected, he died to save others. his heart was full of sacrifice.

number 2. severus snape was good and killing dumbledore was a part of the plan. TRUE. i wasn't sure of the details, but i knew it had to be true. dumbledore trusted snape and we as the reader were supposed to, too, even if we didn't know what was happening. i just felt like there had to be a reason. he wouldn't just kill dumbledore. however, it is our nature to see the worst in things and not the good. a friend who was reading this at the same time, told me i was crazy for thinking this.

finally, number 3. dumbledore would come back to life. FALSE. i just knew he would return. he couldn't be gone that easily. now, at the end of the series his death didn't seem to abrupt. we did see him in the picture frame and harry talked with him while he was dead. but, dumbledore did not come back to life like i thought he might.

fast food and nutrition

those are two thing we know don't go together. but how bad is it for you? the overwhelming truth is the more of what you don't want in your food than what you do want. but take a look through the charts and see just how bad it is for you. i guess we shouldn't be surprised.

Strike Chart

wondering how long your favorite show will remain on the air in the midst of the writer's guild strike. today, i came across the strike chart. the most interesting or depressing is that the office season will end with the next show aired. ouch! the chart gives you a list of sows that are on and how long you can expect to see new shows. it's easiest to say that within the next 2-3 weeks this season will end for all of your favorite shows.

the writers guild strike

i was wondering what kind of impact the writers guild strike would have would have.

"There is a lot of tension in Hollywood right now.

It’s been discussed for the past few months, but it looks like it just may become a reality. The Writer’s Guild of America very well may begin to strike as early as Monday. They voted by more than a 90% margin to allow their leaders to launch a walk-out. Sure, this sounds like it’s a bad thing, but I don’t think many people actually understand what is going on and how this will effect entertainment in their daily lives."

halo 3 and the church

just read this post by Josh Griffin about Halo 3 and the church. he was referring to an article posted in the new york times regarding halo being used in youth ministry programs. it's an interesting read. after reading through the comments, i felt compelled to share, too. here's what i posted.

"for me. i have halo 3 and love it. i have some youth in our program who play regularly and i will meet up with them online to play. and the co-op is awesome. we sit, we talk, we hang out. and many of the kids are talking about it, their stats, and their achievements. a few want to help me beat legendary. i grew up with games. at 5 years old, my dad came home with an atari 2600 and together we played asteroids for hours.

anyways, i have always thought that if you are ok doing "X" anywhere else, then you should be ok doing it in the church. if that wouldn't be ok, then we should really think about what it is we are doing. maybe we shouldn't be doing it all.

the culture changes and will always change. just as soon as we think we have it figured out, it will change again. we need to be culturally relevant. in but not of the culture. i think games are ok.

for us in our church, i'm not sure it would fit with what we are currently doing. i wouldn't be opposed, but it doesn't fit our events and activities. for some it might be right and others it's not. i think that's ok. what i don't think is ok is that we miss the message of the gospel. jesus has called us to become more like him; full of love, grace, mercy and compassion. not matter what your are doing, if we leave this component out of what we are doing we have failed.

and for outreach, you need to be involved in that culture that you are reaching out to. i don't think we need to do an outreach expecting youth to know the words to the latest chris tomlin song. it may just not be an outreach if it is filled with youth ready to worship.

to sum it all up - go with God, sensing His presence, experiencing His love, and sharing with all that you come in contact with."

josh will be posting his thoughts tomorrow.

book 5 finished


i finished book 5 of the Harry Potter series this morning. The Order of the Phoenix. it is the longest book in the series and it took me the longest to finish. now you may be thinking, "he's quite behind," now that many people have finished book 7. i just started reading the series mid june with book 1 with the encouragement of my wife and a few friends.

i had thought that there was a lot of fluff in this book, things that just made it longer, rather than actually adding to the story. but as i finished it this morning, as with each book so far, most of the fluff came together in the end and made since.

funny thing about this is, that i was late for staff meeting. i go so into finishing the book this morning that i completely forgot i had a meeting at noon. an hour later i made it to the meeting with the confession of my tardiness.

travel expenses

i am working on travel expenses for next summer's mission trip with the methodist habitat in the bahamas. i contact AAA today to see if they could help. they said the best way was to call the airlines directly and to start with delta because they had good group rates. after talking with them on the phone, the cost appeared to be the same i could order online for everyone individually. the group rate was the same as the individual rate... i don't understand that. she also said that they would not accept tax exempt status and that we need to file those expenses later. i will be checking with american airlines next. we'll see.

3:10 to yuma starring dallas roberts, reviewed

just went an watched 3:10 to yuma. we decided to go see this film while watching the preview. about half way through i realized, "oh my gosh, that's dallas roberts!" my wife said, "who?" "dallas," i said. now don't get me wrong, i have not seen or talked to dallas for about 16 years, since my sister's wedding i guess. hmm... when i was just a young tyke our families were great friends while we lived in sarasota and they have kept in touch regularly since. in fact, my father still keeps in touch with his father on a regular basis.

he and my sister were the same age. when i was in jr high and high school i skated for about eight years. i fondly remember my first ride on a skateboard was down the hill in front of the robert's home. dallas' brother had a skateboard and showed me how to ride it, while we were visiting.

anyways, dallas, if you ever see this - excellent film and excellent work! this truly was a great western film. both russell crowe and christian bale gave great performances. this reminded me of older westerns exploring the inner good of a man. go see this film.

an old dog, new tricks


over the past two months we have discovered that our dog loves to play Frisbee. he's always liked it, but now is in love with it. he always been able to catch the ball, but never the Frisbee. he would run after it and sometimes bring it back. most of the time not actually to you.

somewhat out of the blue in august he began catching the Frisbee and bringing it right to my feet. i would throw it and he would bring it back, nudging it with his nose. it was like he was saying, "come on, already. put it in the air." he has also begun jumping in the air to pull it down. and his best catch would rival any Frisbee dog of any time. i had tossed the Frisbee into the air and as he ran across the back yard, he jumped with his body contorted, missing the catch, he tipped it up, and as soon as his paws hit the ground he jumped again, catching the Frisbee. he gets so excited about catching it.

when he misses, he kicks at it with his paws until it flips over so he can pick it up. he's a boxer. short snout. underbite. you get the picture. his paws get filthy. somehow, he fills the Frisbee with dirt, when he picks it up it goes all over his face. he's just dirty. yet he returns ready to try again.

i want to live like this. i want to live in such a way that even when i am covered in the dirt of my mistakes that i seek, with excitement, the opportunity to get it right. knowing that there is a god who is excited to watch it all happen and is eager to help and assist and is ready to celebrate with the successes.

Monday, September 10, 2007



we currently are using earthlink. it's been a great service and i have used them for about 5 years now. normally problem free. above you see my speed test results when everything is working fine. however, after about 30 minutes or so, my connection dies. it simply dies. i can reset the modem and bring it back up. i can force our router to pull a new ip address and it comes back up.

this all started after the lightning storm that happened about 4 weeks ago now. if you remember there were (according to news reports) over 17,000 lightning strikes in that one day across the state. so we first replaced our modem, now it's very inconsistent.

we have tech support coming out today to check the lines. hopefully we will be back up and running, soon.

NBC leaving iTunes makes no since

if you haven't heard already. NBC will no longer be providing it's shows through itunes for $1.99 an episode. which ok, i understand paying for the digital copy of. but i think NBC is wrong to go into another realm to sell their episodes for more money with more extensive digital rights or which Mac users will not even be able to purchase their shows for. i would expect them to lose sales by doing this and as a result people will likely turn back to bit torrent to get their shows.

anyways, if you would like to read into this further, here's a great article from iLounge discussing this issue in detail.

Reviewed: Demos from the Marketplace

here are a few demos on xbox live's marketplace that are worth checking out. there's no fluff in these, just what i thought and a "try it" or a "buy it."

beautiful katamari - for all audiences. easy and simple to pick up and play. full game might be difficult to master. push your katamari (a big ball) around and pick up stuff within a specified amount of time. the bigger it gets the better you've done. the camera was difficult to control and was at times looking the wrong direction. might be corrected by the release. depending on the price point, just try it.

bio shock -definitely geared for an adult audience. simply put amazing. graphics are great. storytelling drew me in quickly. a lot of first person shooters are just replicas of each other in a new setting. this game sets a new standard that others will have a hard time replicating. it goes above and beyond all others. easy to recommend. buy it. it will be in my hands as soon as i get done with forza 2.

call of duty 4 - coming soon. expecting my token for the beta today. we'll see.

medal of honor: airborne - good game. new concept. you are an airborne soldier you can drop in anywhere on the map when it begins. there are safe zones to aim for. the level starts where ever you land. really cool concept. the AI appears to be pretty smart. they move around. they hide. fight smart in the game. however, it is still set in wolrd war II. how many of these games can we possibly play? great idea and twist on the gameplay, but i think the demo will hold me over just fine. just try it.

skate - skate has been promising a new gameplay mechanic that makes this skateboarding game more realistic. the demo is good be learning the controls was not simple. i think the good thing about a game is the learning curve. for me a good game, you can jump into and enjoy as you learn. this one wasn't doing it for me. the sterring controls were really touchy. the kick controls slow to respond. however, i did like the way the ollies worked with the right thumbstick. it might take some getting used to. try it and if you like it buy it. it is refreshing to see against the tony hawk series.

stranglehold - again for adult audiences. this demo took me by surprise. no article or review had sold me on it and i almost passed on the demo. for some reason i downloaded it anyway. i was blown away. fully destructive and interactive environments. you can use just about anything on the screen in gameplay. there were some really cool "bullet time" gaming sequences. as you jump the action goes into slow-mo which makes for some really fun gameplay. if you haven't already, give this demo a shot. it will take you by suprise. then when it arrives on shelves, buy it.

book 4 complete: a journey through hogwarts

i began reading the harry potter series this summer. after some encouragement from friends and my wife, on june 25th of 2007 i began reading through the series. this week i completed book four, the goblet of fire.

for me, i have never been a big reader. i will read if i am interested but have never been into reading novels. it has always felt like work to me. these books have set me on a journey. i can't put the book down until it is done. it draws me. captures my attention. i feel as though i know and understand every piece of architecture and design. it is relaxing and easy to read. i don't find my mind wondering. and when i do put it down, i am planning for when i will have time to read again.

now, i am off to begin working on book 5...

the finale

outpouring finished in big ways. it truly was great! worship was great! involvement was amazing. God did some huge things in our lives. and jad brought us the message in a new, real, and relevant way. and jared hall - what!? what did he do? i am still trying to figure out some of the tricks. his slight of hand was so quick.

saturday we went to busch gardens. all day. sheikra. what more can be said?

then to follow that up with some of our student leaders on sunday, speaking and sharing about all of our summer events was amazing. it was a great experience and challenging to some. but each of them did an amazing job sharing and talking with the congregation.

this was a great end to a wonderful summer. you can find all of the outpouring pics here.

day 1 - outpouring '07

today was great! registration ran smooth. certainly people continued to stroll in, but that's normal especially on the first day. and we were so glad to hear that more and more were coming. games and door prizes went off. i heard that the young lady who won the big prize tonight was stoked about it.

small group and games feedback was also good. sounds like the games went exceptionally well and that the groups all had good discussion. it is amazing to see God at work.

the glorious unseen was great. i think there was a true atmosphere of worship tonight. something great to be a part of. jad also did a great job at bringing the message to us. helping to understand Jesus on a deeper level.

finally, i can't thank our student leaders enough. thank you. thank you. thank you. and everyone else who helped. you guys did a great preparing, setting up and serving tonight.

the wait before

outpouring '07 will be here before i know it and yet the wait is driving me crazy. so much already done, so much more still to do. every time i am involved in a big event, i always wonder will it come together? it always does.

usually not without a fiasco, and this time is no different. all i will say is SHIRTS. not going to go into it, but it is stressing and a little bit funny at the same time.

student leaders are working hard on this. vids are almost ready. worship schedules is set. Blake did a great job with it. art work is all good. small group curriculum is all set and the jengas are coming in. still got to finish games and decorate.

then, just wait for the people to come in. and whoever you are, wherever you are. if you are coming we've been praying for you. every week on Wednesday, a group has been praying for you.

next week at this time, we will be preparing for the final day. can't wait.

old has benefits

as you get older there are certainly some benefits to come. there's voting at 18, lower insurance at 25, thought of as an actual adult around 28 or so, three steps at 32 and aarp some time coming within the next 30 years.

let's take a look at the three steps. i have been playing in a basketball league all summer. at 32 i am the oldest guy on the court. there are a few around 25 and 26 and most at around 18-20 years old. generally speaking i am slower, less skilled now, and can't breathe as long as most everyone else. however, i do receive a few extra calls.

in the second half, on a fast break, i was just ahead of our guy bringing down the middle. i received the pass, driving to the hoop, and suddenly realized i was about to take an extra step. i had stuttered at the beginning. i could already hear the whistle, but i followed through and made the layup. looked at the ref. no whistle the bucket counted. i thought to myself, he must have seen the extra step... but I'll take it.

after the game i went up to the ref and said, "thanks for giving me the extra step." he laughed and said, "i do that for the oldest man on the court, besides they are always beating you up down there."

so there you have it. just another benefit of getting older.

iphone woes

well, it has now been 24 hours. i have been on two separate calls with at&t. the first pushed me through to a hardware tech with apple, who without placing blame, agreed that that at&t was not ready and all the hold up is on their end. not surprised.

at 10:30pm, after being on hold for 30 minutes, i spoke with a customer service rep from at&t at 877-800-3701. she should she expedited my issue and that within three hours i would receive an email saying it was activated.

iphone? still waiting...

10 hours later still waiting.............................

my iphone hype

it's wearing off a little now. i took some time out to go pick one up this evening. while i did get the phone, a real short line in lady lake, fl, it's still not activated. i got through the activation process pretty quick in itunes. my other phone's sim was unregistered in about 5 minutes. however, i received a message that said "you're activation requires additional time to complete." so here i sit a couple of hours later. still waiting. and until it is activated, it can't be used at all. argh...

Student Life Camp

well, now that student life camp is over and i have had some time to think about the week and all that it did and did not have to offer i'll share my thoughts.

since it was my first experience with student life i had an unadulterated perspective. my thought is that i will compare it waith a camp i am very familiar with and the pros and cons, etc. that camp is the United Methodist Summer Camp in Leesburg, FL. We attended Student Life at Covenant College on Lookout Mtn, Ga. After the first day and really after the week, i would consider this type of camp much more of a conference than a camp. I felt that it lacked a true "camp" experience, like what takes place in Leesburg. However, as a good conference it's worship times were excellently put together, especially to include it's audience, 700 teenagers. While there were some technological failures (of which the learning comes from expereince)such as batteries dying on mics while they are in use, missing video cues from the speaker, and forgetting to advance slides early enough during the msuic; the services were complete. They contained video, annoucnements, transitional video between different worship acts, live drama, the speaker Tony Nolan, worship leaders Spur 58, lighting, props, the times were fluid, they included games, and each service in some way get the crowd involved in the worship expereince. While the quality of speakers and musicians is just as good in Leesburg, they are not the big names, but they are just as good. Howver, the camp in Leesburg could learn from what ttok place in this area. Not that what they do is bad, but in some ways it could be more complete.

SL (used from now on) also handed out a magazine (or handbook) to each camper. This handbook contained the curriculum notes for the week for worship, family groups, and quiet times. It also contained othe rinteresting facts about teenage life, interviews with bands and speakers, and ads for teen bibles and other SL events. There is deffinitely some self-promo stuff going on there. However the handbook was a really neat tool for the campers to have and it gives them a way to bring what they recieved back home with them once they left camp. Another good thing.

The cmap also was in great support of the youth pastors that were there with their groups. The youth pastors were not given any responsibility other than to be present and hang out with their students. It truly gave me an oportunity to get to know some of our students on a depper level and develop some relationships i hadn't had a chane to with others. We had a meeting each day with the other youth pastors to share and pray together including one afternoon in which we prayed over the worship space, prior to the students coming in.

Alongside of those things there were a few things i didn't like or wished would have been different. The first and the biggest things was the lack of interaction between campers and the SL Camp Staff. The only times the staff interacted was during worship and at recreation. Now of course with worship they are on stage and at the sound booth. it was more of you saw them there. at rec they were running the show and the family group leaders (adults from the churches) were the ones actually involved with the students. The Staff did not lead family groups either. At meals you saw them, but rarely saw them with people other than different Staff members. To me this was disappointing and it is an area i feel that the camp in Leesburg does an excellent job at. The counselors in Leesburg are given the primary responsibility of spending time with campers. If they are not, unless they have other responisbilities, they have not fulfilled their duties. It is what makes the camp so sucessfull. The relationships that the students build with the counselors is primary to the communicating the gospel message to the campers that come. But, what do my students know about the SL staff? I asked some of them. their relationships were limited to names an what color team they were on that week.

While registration went very smoothly the day we arrived at SL with a group of 54, there were a few things we needed to return for the next day. One of these were key cards to get into the buildings after 11pm. We were supposed to pick these up fromt he college staff (not camp staff) and they were not aware they we were supposed to recieve one, much less two. After returning to the SL office, the two young ladies that I spoke with, while polite, were not sure what to do about it.

I was also disappointed with SL not having any medical assistance on staff. Now, i have been in youth minstry for 11 years, and with any other trip i would be prepared to take care of medical issues. But when each student is paying top dollar to attend a camp, you would expect for the camp to have some sort of medical assistance. However, there isn't. When one of girls got hurt and we needed to go to the hospital, there was no one available to help. The college had a nurse on staff, but she was not allowed to work with SL and SL was not allowed to provide any transportation. With the help of another youth pastor there, we did get her to the hospital. Now, what if this happened during Rec or during another time that i wasn't available. Who would be responsible to help? Now, yes, i did know about this issue ahead of time and in fact commented to our summer intern that it concerned me.

So, there are some immediate thoughts about the camp after my first expereince. All in all it was a good week. I did disagree with some of Tony's approaches in worship, but not with what he was sharing. There were certainly some good things that happened in the life of our students; lives change, relationships started, prayer for each other, new walks with Christ. God will always be working in us not matter what is going on.

google's free 411 service

i am so excited about this new service from google. free and i mean totally free 411 calls from your cell phone. free.

"To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.

Using this service, you can:

* search for a local business by name or category.
You can say "Giovanni's Pizzeria" or just "pizza".

* get connected to the business, free of charge.

* get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
Just say "text message".

And it's free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider."

taken straight from google's page. it really doesn't get better than this. i am so tired of 411 on my cell, listening to ads for the other free service or paying way too much. this has just made it's own entry in my cell phone. and it will text you the number. now that's awesome.

New Gears Maps "Hidden Fronts" REVIEWED

Epic wanted to release these maps for free. Microsoft won't allow it until September. However, IGN said that even if you are thinking about it to go ahead and buy. They are that good. Thought about waiting to download them until the are free just to support Epic. I haven't decided whether or not to purchase them yet. I understand selling content for games. I don't understand ripping people off with it, like EA. However if a company like Epic wants to give content away for free. Shouldn't they be allowed to?

on august 8th, 9th, and 10th, the glorious unseen will be joining us for outpouring. i am so excited to have this group come down. their album with tooth and nail will just be coming out. it will be a very exciting time for them and i am glad that our youth ministry will get to share in that.

however, the thing i am most excited about is the fact that, ben, had asked if they could hang out with the group in our first communications together. in my opinion that speaks very loudly to me. the willingness that they have to be a part of the ministry that will be taking place outside of their opportunities to lead us in worship is amazing.
