Looking forward to a new book

I'm looking forward to a new book by Craig Groeschel called "Going All the Way"
I really enjoyed Craig's last book and I blogged about it here.

A friend of mine sent this to me...
and yes "Surely" she is cute!
Man, she would have slammed us back in the "Twentysomething" days!!!

Idol Thoughts

I attended the American Idols Live concert in DC last night and here are some of my thoughts:

1. 12 year old girls squeal really loud! (not that I mind that they are excited, but please control yourself while someone is singing or talking, so others can hear.)
2. Blake is an awesome performer. Hands down. Lots of beat-box stuff which was what everybody wanted to hear.
3. The "boys" put together a band...Phil played keys, Blake guitar, Chris S. bass, the boy that shouldn't be there acoustic, and Chris R. drums. They did a medley of songs ending with Hey Jude. I was impressed with their musicianship. Although I couldn't hear the acoustic in the mix, hummmm....
4. KiKi nailed Whitney, goosebumps were prevalent.
5. The boy that shouldn't be there was making dancing gestures not appropriate for the attending audience. No, "you really got me" performance, thank the Lord. You just can't fast forward through real life. His sister came out to wish him a happy 18th b-day and led everyone in the happy b-day song. She still sings better than him.
6. I wish Chris S. would have made it further so that he would have more of a showcase than some of the others.
7. Overall, it was an enjoyable show.
8. I need a better digital camera with a good tele-lens.
9. The show went longer than I thought it would.
10. There are going to be a lot of tired kids in school today.

Today's Catch

I caught 4 fish in 2 1/2 hours with a weight of 11 1/2 pounds...gotta love days like this.
2 of them were 4 pounders.

Shuffle the Pod

I always think that these kinds of posts are interesting so I thought I'd start doing it on a periodic basis.
The premise is that you take your MP3 player and put it on shuffle and post what the first 10 songs that it spits out so here goes:

1. Revelation Chapter 15 (The Message Remix) audio Bible
2. In Paisley (Gecko Monks)
3. People People (Dave Matthews Band)
4. Rain Down (David Crowder)
5. You Are Holy (Michael W. Smith)
6. Easy Listening (Steve Taylor)
7. Strange DejaVu (Dream Theater)
8. A Place Where I can Breathe (Stavesacre)
9. Fighting to Survive (Building 429)
10. Soul Circus (Victor Wooten)
