The nation is next to fall…

I’m glad the sox are getting knocked around, it’s about time someone took them down a peg or two…

Well the squatters made it to the 2nd round but they’ll stop right there.  The Phillies really never let Brooklyn get off the ropes.  So to everyone that text me and left me voice mail after the Angels got knocked out I’m going to be civil and say just one word…   HA!

• So last night I was relaxing watching TV when the cable went out.  So I decided to wait it out a bit, but when nothing changed I decided to go get on line to check the scores.  Well the Internet was out.  So I just began to entertain myself (this included dancing).  Then I started thinking of all the simple things that I love in life like:
• Watching Baseball
• Kylie’s laugh from the other room when watching America’s funniest home videos
• How the dogs follow me around when I’m taking out the trash
• The change in seasons
• Really good Music
• Kylie’s cooking!
• little gadgets
• Playing Drums
• A good Scary movie
• Disneyland
• A clean house
• Friendship
• & how Kylie looks at me with those eyes…

So I was exhausted when we got back from Buena Park.  Three days of services, including a set up and tear down.  The next morning I got up Early and took off to Bakersfield.  I was by myself because Kylie wasn’t feeling very well, (She’s much better now).  First I spent the afternoon with Karl Hargestam and filmed him for a project that Impact Ministries is doing.  After 3, 30 min. sessions I packed up my gear and headed over to the Engraved Youth launch.  They had done a ton of work and the students were pumped to be there.  I was told the total attendance was around 40 people!  Great Job guys.  I got home super late then got ready for Sunday morning…  So today, yeah I’m doing nothing!

Today I head south for our leadership conference.  I’m running Sound, video, lights, ppt, and bringing my drums.  I’m also setting up the stage design for Karl Hargestam and setting up the entire audio/visual, (we’re rockin’ our own systems).  I’ll be happy when tonight is underway and the set up is over.  Keep us in prayer, BUSY WEEK/WEEKEND AHEAD!

So I saw this today and it’s really well done.  This is the official video for Coldplay’s song lost.  Love the grainy video style.  Would love to one day be involved with a shoot like this~  AMAZING.  By the way This could be the concert Ky and I were at, AND I just found out that they are coming back to SOCAL for another performance.  I may have to go again…  Oh if you really want a great quality version of this video it’s available for download on iTunes.

Well, the Halos Season came to an end, a few mis-cues on our part allow them to score early, we tied it up but I was never comfortable with Boston batting in the 9th at home.  They walked off.  My new teams for sure are the rays and fighting Phil’s.  There is NO WAY I would ever sink to rooting for the Brooklyn Squatters or The nation in the next round.  Go rays and GO PHILLS!  And if my worst fear comes true and my top hated teams make it to the series I will be pulling for the sox just because I loathe the Squatters.

I have found out very fast that I get invited to speak at a lot of fun events!  I’ve been to Back to School services, Out-door picnics in the park now a hot wheels Sunday.  When I was first told about this event they told me that they race little cars in the church.  For some reason I thought we were going to be like in these little power wheel cars racing around the church.  But as you can see from the pictures they are “LITTLE” cars that we race on a track.  I spoke on the root of who we are, “What’s under the hood when you race”?  Then after, they had a BBQ and we raced cars.  Pastor Cristler  was the previous Champ but was quickly knocked out of the running for any placement.  Meanwhile, I actually took 3rd!  Ky says I should give the trophy to Ryan, I say forget that!  I WON!!!

Last Thursday I was pumped to be at New Life La Habra.  They had a TON of students.  I’m glad I was able to get to know them!  I spoke one of my favorite messages to speak and everyone was real responsive!  This is my Brother John Skiles Church.  It’s always cool to see family producing for God.  They have a good thing going there.  Hope to go back soon!

I don’t understand it, but Boston just has our number in the post.  It’s not that they’re a better team, they’re an October team.  They seem to always find a way to beat the Angels (In the Post).  Man I’m hurt and heartbroken.  When you really care about your team like I do, it gets to you.  I’m gonna have to shake this off.
