Coffee Breath

Maybe next year...

In an effort to get my grill fixed, I've come across many things that have impressed me.  None, more so then this:

Grillin' & Chillin'

It just couldn't have happen with out these guys (and several more!)  We had a blast last night at the Indiana Gun Club.  The food was great, the shooting was fun (I think everyone got to shoot this year, we adjusted it from last!) and the fellowship was awesome.  I met a lot of new people.  That's what its all about!

I'm saying "no" to moo

Don't get me wrong...I LOVE Chick-fila!  It's one of my family's favorite places!  Last week though, I saw something that I'm not sure what to do with.  I saw people.  Normal, everyday, average, even above average I'm sure, people... dressed... like... cows!  COWS!  I guess if you dressed up like a cow, your meal was free.  Which begs the question, how much for your dignity?  My wife and kids were there for lunch and I met them.  She called and wanted me to bring some stuff that would allow the kids to dress like cows, I'm saying "no" to moo.

Best Commercials

You don't have to go far to see the best commercials on TV.  Indiana's own "Martin's Furniture" blows the competition out of the water, or space ships out of the air ;)!  You can see them often on the "SkyTrack Weather Channel".  Here's a taste!

I don't like to lose...but...

Well, it's been a great three weeks!  The "Off the Bench" series seemed to go really well.  I'm looking forward to Tim being back on and Jay coming on board!  Next week will be awesome.  Last night Marc (got it right!) and Rachel stopped by with their "Scene it" game.  We had asked to borrow it so we could play with guests we were having.  We invited them to stick around and you honestly could see Rachel's eyes glow with revenge.  We played and the respective colors are: Marc/yellow, Lia/red, Keith/green & Rachel/blue.  Needless to say, Rachel smoked me and everyone else!  Congrats Rachel, I knew that my reign on top would be short lived!

I don't like to brag...but...

Okay, Mark and Rachel had us over the other night and we decided to play "Scene It" on the XBOX360.  It's a trivia game about movies and stuff.  Just so you know, Rachel has never been beaten.  It's her game.  Typically, she smokes everyone.  It started close with Rachel in the lead through the first round.  I began to gain on her by the end of the second, over took her in the third, and...not to brag... never.......... never.... looked back.  Sorry Rachel.  Oh, Mark and Lia played to.  Here are the pictures to prove.  The first is the scoreboard at the end of the game.  The others are each of the players and our perspective colors.

Best Places to Raise a Family

Yeah Noblesville!!  I guess we kind of rock!  I for one think we have an awesome community and town.  We have an awesome school system, great churches, cool businesses and great people!  My one complaint...seriously, fireworks after 11pm...am I getting old or what!

Nintendo Channel

My son Eli and I were messing around on the Wii today.  Did you know that you can download demos for your DS off of the Wii (I actually found this feature several weeks ago, but had forgotten).  We downloaded a demo for the movie, "Kung Fu Panda".  It was awesome...sure helped on a rainy day (that and me baking Bananna Bread!).

Well, we started our first series in our Summer Blockbusters that will be taking our church through 3 of our Core Values.  This first series, "Off the Bench" is about Community (life is not a solo sport), specifically how we serve one another in the church.  This first week we simply discussed how we are created to serve, that God has given each of us a gift that He expects us to use to serve one another (1 Peter 4:10).  This morning we collected over 300 cards that people used to share their skills, abilities and gifts.  I can't wait to see how God can use these to strengthen His church!

Grillin' & Chillin'

I'm excited about July 18th!  The WRCC Men's Ministry will do it's second "Grillin' & Chillin'" event.  We will be going to Indiana Gun Club to eat, shoot trap, play cornhole, play ladder golf and just hang out as guys.  This year we will have a drawing for a Nintendo Wii Game System (you must be at the event to win!) We will start at 5:30PM and end by 8:30PM.  Cost is $10 + if you want to shoot, it's $10 a round!  Last year was an absolute blast.
