No Thumb?

My friend Mark Nothum will kill you. Watch what he does to this kid.

Do Work

First off - I don’t really know where I have been.  I always feel obligated to apologize or explain why I haven’t blogged any time that I get slack.  I am not going to do that today.

This week we are starting a new series at LINC.  I am really excited about it.  It is called “Do Work.”  I am very pumped about this summer.

This summer is going to be filled with several opportunities for our students to “do work.”

Secondly - check out Tyler’s message.  This website is sweet.  Divide the Sea made me a (real) fan on Saturday night.  Ben has started a blog.  And this game is so addictive.

Check These Out.

This video was amazing. Check it out on Tyler’s or B-Coop’s blogs. Seriously - read their blogs. They are a) in love with Jesus and b) working with students at NewSpring Church.

I randomly ran across this post today. Interesting perspective.

Fall Out Boy redid a Michael Jackson song. What do you think?

Check out what Tyler has to say about prayer.

Brad asks a question that has plagued my mind for years.

I want to try one of these.

I think I like this band a lot.

My wonderful wife bought me this t-shirt.

Hilarious? I think so.

I think this is hilarious. I also saw a video where a girl said that a conference much like one of these changed her life. So don’t misunderstand me. I just think that this video is incredibly clever… and amazingly hilarious.

Video (it’s been a while)

Laura Beth showed me this video.  Pretty hilarious.

Video of the Week (from the ashes)

It has been a while.  Check out this video from Bailey.  And enjoy this week’s Video of the Week.

Slightly Ashamed

If you check my list of things I don’t like - you will see that David Archuleta is on that list.  I look at him and his boyish good looks and humble attitude and the whole package makes me sick.  He is an ‘alpha male.’  There is no wrong that this kid could do.  He did mess up a song.  But this week he sang a song that I had never heard.  I didn’t want to tell anyone about this, but i feel like I need to defend my position.  I still don’t like Archuleta - but his performance this week was awesome.  So much so - that I bought it on iTunes.  I bought the whole David Archuleta version of “You’re the Voice” on iTunes.

And because I don’t know a good way to segue into this - so I will just say it.  Another song that will be played during the Guitar Hero Tournament is Woman by Wolfmother.

Hiatus

I took a short hiatus from blogging this week.  Honestly - there was no reason for it.  I had the time to blog.  I could have done it.  I don’t know.  I haven’t even read anyone’s blog.  I don’t know what the deal has been.  I guess nothing really.  But it has been a busy week.  A good week - just busy.  I just got back from UNLEASH Conference at New Spring.  Wow.  It was awesome.  Tomorrow I will be talking more about what I learned and things like that.  Here are a few bullets:

• David Cook was awesome on Tuesday night.  I hate to admit it - but I love American Idol.
• I just wrapped up a series at LINC (Wednesday night student ministry service) on sex and dating.
• It is really awkward talking about sex with 6th and 7th grade girls in the room.
• Laura Beth has been sick.  As a matter of fact - she took her first ever sick day.
• Bloom no longer carries the green tea that I have fallen in love with.  C’mon Bloom.
• Go Camp sign ups are in full force.  Please - if you are a middle school or high school student at Freedom, sign up.  It is going to be awesome.
• You can be friends with Go Camp on MySpace or join the Facebook group.
• This summer is going to be sick.
• Keep Spring Break open.  There will be some chilling and awesomeness to be done and had during Spring Break.

Stay tuned - I am returning to blogging.
