A FIller Post

Unplugged Week – All things considered, a great success. It’s funny how concerned others get that you’re following the rules you imposed on yourself. Tanner was better than I was in the whole thing. Not bad for a 4 year old. Tonia and I had a couple great conversations that went late into the night. Our basement project moved forward. And I finished off two books I was reading, and made a big dent in the third.

Easter Sunday – Best service in NewSong history. Perhaps the best service I’ve ever attended anywhere. Our worship team is 100% volunteer, so to see what they pulled off by having two practices during the week, including a 5 hour marathon on Saturday night, was inspiring. And the pastors lesson on hope was a Top-Fiver for me. I just wish more of the community were there to hear it. I taped the whole service, so look for some sort of confessional soon here.

Swimming + Bowling – Two things I haven’t done in awhile, but two things I enjoyed this weekend. I officially started my training on the swimming portion of the triathlon I’m participating in this summer. Not bad for the first time out. But I’ve got some work to do before I can swim the better part of a mile without stopping. And bowling with some friends is always a great way to build relationships.

The Weather –  So Thursday it was in the mid 40′s with blue and sunny skies. And then Friday night it snowed and snowed and snowed, so much that when we woke up Saturday morning, there was a minimum of 10″ of snow covering the ground. Easter egg hunts are fun in the snow.

The Glory of It AllDavid Crowder Band


At the start, He was there, He was there
In the end, He’ll be there, He’ll be there
After all, our hands have wrought, He forgives

Oh the glory of it all, is He came here
For the rescue of us all, that we may live
For the glory of it all, for the glory of it all

All is lost, find Him there, find Him there
After night, dawn is there, dawn is there
After all, falls apart, He repairs, He repairs

Oh the glory of it all, is he came here
For the rescue of us all, that we may live
For the glory of it all, oh He is here
Redemption from the fall, that we may live
For the glory it all, oh the glory of it all
The glory of it all, oh the glory of it all

After night, comes a light, dawn is here, dawn is here
It’s a new day, it’s a new day

Everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same

Oh the glory of it all, is You are here
For the rescue of us all, that we may live
For the glory of it all, oh You are here
With redemption for us all, that we may live
For the glory of it all, oh the glory of it all
The glory of it all, oh the glory it all

Everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same…

Oh the Glory of It All

This is a repost from February, but yesterday I just couldn’t stop listening to this song. I think it’s a perfect Easter celebration song. Enjoy!

A Day To Remember

I’ve been sitting here for over 2 hours thinking about what to write about yesterday. I still don’t know how to portray my feelings on a blog. I guess all I can say is that I’m pretty stoked about where I worship on Sunday’s. Everyone with breath in their lungs could feel the spirit of God moving all around us.

Thank you Captured
Thank you Pastor (aka dad)…
Thank you Jesus

You truly inspired us all!

Purple Power

I was all set to upload some video of Pluto when Tanner arrived home from getting some Easter pictures done. Dude looked so fly and felt like posing for his pop. So what could I do but share?
