By the way, being a single parent for 2 hours about killed me.  That’s hard stuff.

If you’re short on time skip to 1:38….proof that I have the cutest kid in the world. 

Then this morning I saw that Amos Lanka did a post about this site….so I had to try it out for myself. 

I used Psalm 90. 

I work on a staff at a church with a bunch of guys that love to golf.  So when we leave for a few days, we play golf.  I don’t play that often, so when these opportunities roll around I get pretty excited.  

To be honest though (this will be the one tree hugger comment for the year) I really just like being outside.  I spend too much time inside, at a computer near florescent lights….man i hate florescent lights, they suck my energy.  

Anyways, I’m excited to play some golf.  I’ll try to have some good pics/videos when i get back.

The above picture is me at last years golf outing after I drained a 3 footer….it was a great shot.

later.

A few months ago I went to a Radiohead show in Charlotte.

The lighting set up was amazing.  

I found this article on Radiohead’s website.  It’s a description of how they did it.

Interestingly enough a few weeks back I was at Buckhead church in Atlanta, and they had a similar setup.

I’ve always been fascinated by ordinary people. Anytime I’m on an airplane, I love to ask people what they do and where they live (assuming they aren’t totally weirded out by me) . If the person lives overseas my fascination goes through the roof.

Memoirs are usually written by famous/important people. Lots of people want to hear what Bill Clinton has to say, because he was the President of the United States. You would think that not that many people want to hear about ordinary people. But, it seems like memoirs by not-so-famous people is a type of book that has peaked the interest of general readership recently. It’s crazy to me that these types of books have done so well…but I’m glad because I really enjoy them.

So far this year I’ve read two books that fit into this category…..Oh the Glory of it all by Sean Wilsey and Foreskin’s Lament by Shalom Auslander. A couple of things about these books - I think both are very interesting and helpful. I don’t know this for sure but I’m guessing that David Crowder has read Oh the Glory of it all per his song on Remedy….so if it’s good enough for Crowder it’s good enough for you…right? One other thing…I would probably use caution when reading either of these books - they could use some censoring. What makes them interesting is the fact that these guys are pretty messed up….and they’re pretty explicit about the details of their lives. Sometimes I’ll give books like these to Danielle to read first and she’ll take a sharpie to them or give them back with pages missing… she’s a good wife.

Anyways, do any of you know of memoirs by not-so-famous people? I guess Blue like Jazz would also be in this category. I’d love to find others.

I’m reading a book right now called Give Praise to God.  It’s a pretty good book.  The best thing about it is all of the good quotes on corporate worship. 

Here’s one by Calvin that I thought was so cool.  I love the imagery of weight and majesty.

“….we know by experience that singing has great force and vigor to move and inflame the hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a more vehement and ardent zeal. Care must always be taken that the song be neither light nor frivolous; but that it have weight and majesty…”

Here’s a picture from last year’s vacation…my Grandma’s doing her best Pete Wentz imitation.

I love how the 50 mm 1.8 makes everything blurry, but the point of focus….cool stuff.
