Don't Get Me Wrong...

... I normally have no problem with the S-and-S food chain but I found this sign in Indiana on our way out of town last week.

So after I laughed and laughed at about 2am driving past this sign I was able to regain some maturity and snap a picture. Now, my father-in-law might pick a fight with me about this one, especially since this is one of his favorite places to eat out here in the Midwest. But the proof is undeniable... it's apparently not just for kids anymore.

Who knew you could sell the things and actually get people to buy them? This might start a whole new food market with a seemingly unending supply.

How about you?
You interested in the new black peppercorn buger?

The Morning After

This is your brain on 17 hours of driving with 4 kids in a minivan, getting 2 hours of sleep and having your kids wake up the next morning ready to rock and roll.

THIS is one of those times I question my ability to be an effective father... scratch that - human being.

Been on a self-imposed blogging break while getting my mind ready for this next ministry season. This is the first time I've taken a break in a while and with Easter coming up it worked out well. I feel pretty clear-headed at the moment, though I need a few more hours of sleep to catch up from my time of rest... weird ;)

Lot's of blog posts to come that I had to save up (wanted to spend as much time with my family as I could).

Peace.

Back in the Saddle

No not horses... the sweet ride of my motorcycle! Got a chance to go for a short ride today which was the first in several months. The weather finally turned a bit warmer and so everyone was out on their bikes! You don't realize how much you miss it. I roared around the neighborhood a few times checking it out to make sure everything was working right.

Very cool, let me tell you. I'm sure those of you at The Orchard will be hearing me pull up in the parking lot any day now.

Until then...
Peace.

Moto Photos

Found these under optical illusions but thought they were pretty cool. If you look close at them, you'll see that they are Harley Davidson motorcycle parts placed in a design to form a human face. One of Harley's ad campaigns geared toward custom bikes.

What do you think?
Peace.

I know this is nothing for a lot of you out there but for me this is huge.

Started blogging in September of 2006 and today I am posting my 100th post! A lot has happened over the last 6.5 months and my family and I continue to see God move in awesome ways!

Thank you for continuing to check out my blog, and read my thoughts, opinions, goofiness... the best is yet to come. My wife and daughter have even jumped into the blogging ring recently. There must be something kind of therapeutic about being able to write your thoughts down for the world to see... actually kind of scary now that I think about it that way!

Peace.

Don't you hate it...

... when someone gives you an estimate value of your vehicle only to find out you can get more for the gas in the tank than they are willing to give you for it?

I actually had this brilliant idea of trying to trade in our minivan (hard to have anything else when you have four kids) and the short of it is our van is worthless.

No worries though... at least I still have my motorcycle. I just need to see about adding a side car on each side to drive the family around.

Peace.

Orchard Rewind 1

Well I finally decided to start a new video entry recapping the music set at The Orchard. Picked up the idea from several other worship leaders around the country including this guy (thanks Los!)

Let me know what you think.
How did it go with your church this week?

Peace.

Uh Oh

Freaked out a bit on Friday of this week... my mail program started trippin and I had to do a force quit.

When I restarted it my contacts were completely gone from my address book. I had planned to do my first .mac backup that day.

Man was I bummed. The cool thing I was able to import all of my email addresses from emails I had in my Inbox and smart mailbox folders, but all of my phone number and snail-mail address info is gone.

Lesson in backups I guess, which I've now done of my complete system. Live and learn!

Peace.

Now She's Done It

I am so stoked! My wife finally threw her hat into the blogosphere and started a blog Life As I Know It. It's just the beginning but I could not be prouder!

I'm impressed by her blog for several reasons:

1. She did it all on her own. My wife is brilliant... the computer, however, is not her greatest area of expertise.
2. This was created by a woman who only started email about 3 years ago.
3. She considered the computer and the internet of the devil up to that point in time. What's funny is she can't live without it now. Who could?!

She's got some great ideas and insight and I hope her blog does well.

Cheers, sweet girl, and congrats!

Peace.
