Album Currently Listening to: Possibilities by Herbie Hancock
The man child is a missionary.
A couple weeks ago I was on my trip to the chosen land of Colorado when Ang called with a funny story. Turns out I’d burned them a CD of their favorite music—it’s a mix of any number of things including some of Ang’s favorite worship stuff. Well, Carter man fell in love with the music, particularly with I am Free which is quite the catchy tune. The version we have is from Desperation Band which includes the typical long periods of worship leader talking points where they slow the song down and the dude supposedly makes the worship moment better.
Just about every morning my lovely wife and child and child to be head into the Y for a time of working out and for Carter a time to interact with other kids. I guess they have a guitar in the room and so at one point he grabs the guitar and begins to herd all the kids together. He begins to tell them that they are going to sing I am Free. In just a minute, we’re going to bring this song back up he says. We are going to sing about how God has set us free, we are going to sing with abandon and lift it up to Him, here we go.
One of the ladies in the Y goes to church and so she knew what he was doing and also what song he was referring to. I guess all the other little tikes stood there unsure what the heck had just hit them (don’t we all feel that way about worship leaders sometimes!!). So while Ang works out, my boy is beginning his first church plant.
Last night we were driving home from dinner and the all important trip to WalMart. Carter began the conversation with “Hey mom…”. A long, long pause followed. “John plays the drums, Jeff plays the drums and Moe plays the drums.” He had connected that our favorite drummer Mr. Mitchell, Jeff from the Wiggles and Moe from the Doodlebops all play the drums. Granted, that’s less that impressive company for our boy John but the connection was pretty good for the little fella and the impact a cool one for me.
I’ve joked many times that when I come back I want to be reincarnated as a worship leader. Maybe I won’t have to wait that long. For all their artistic quirks and hilarious personalities, the worship folks I’ve been blessed to work with have always been some of my favorite people on staff. They continue to be the people I have the best connections with after I move. It would be an honor for Carter to be “one of them.”
And in the meantime Ang and I will enjoy listening to the sweet little man with the cute voice belt out worship songs at random times, in random places and all the while marinate in the theology he can’t grasp yet (nor can we) but will serve him well all his years.
John, keep playing those drums, you’ve got another big fan.

A Little Known Fact
In the midst of a meeting today I pondered just how many Starbucks' there are in South Datoka. Why, I'm not sure but I wondered. The answer: 14. Most are located in a HyVee but still, even folks in the SD like them some Starbucks. Wonder what the most popular drink there is....
Another Shot
Album Currently Filling My Ears: the Everglow by Mae
Cubs Win!
Yeah right. How ‘bout them Cards?! I confess that as a huge fan it was incredibly difficult to not watch game 5. But I also know I’ll always remember what I was doing when Inge made that sweet breeze with the final out.
This weekend we traveled to Dallas to help out with Believe. Seeing as Believe is a Friday and Saturday deal we were busy making it happen Friday as the game was played. However, thanks to technology we were able to keep up. I was running a camera for the night but was kept updated by text messages from my amazing wife who along with Carter were watching and stressing. The following really became intense around the7th inning so I missed out on the “we’re losing” and “how the heck is Casey hitting us so well?” thoughts.
Believe got over in time for the bottom of the ninth and thus entered the second technology—live stat tracking on the web. One of the interns had purchased wireless there at the convention center so a few of us huddled around the laptop to “watch” the last inning. When the final strike was thrown, we celebrated as you’d expect. Cards fans who grew up all over, a group many of us probably wouldn’t have been with other than Believe bringing us together and there we were on the floor of the arena celebrating, hugging, making fun of Cubs fans everywhere.
It was a great yet strange way to celebrate—the legend of the victory feeling oddly disconnected because we had no images to compare it to. I guess in some odd way it was like those farmers and small town fans who’ve followed the Cards for years huddling around their radios to hear of a World Series victory and allowing their minds to fill in the images that a TV can’t provide. Once back at the hotel ESPN was flipped on and though the images helped fill something in there was just something about smiling and imagining what was happening in the New Busch and celebrating with friends. It was a cool way to celebrate a World Series win and a time I’ll not soon forget.
Other things from the weekend that struck me. During set up for the weekend it was pointed out that I at the ripe old age of 30 was the oldest person there. Crazy. An amazing event reaching thousands of middle school students and the oldest person there until the actual event was 30. They are blessed with some incredible college students and staff that make the event something to behold.
All in all, the weekend was great. It was great to be at a Believe again, it was fun to see middle school ministry like that again. I saw some old friends, made some new ones and realized just how powerful the weekend can be/is. I’m looking forward to being at a few in the spring and in some bigger venues to see the energy that those extra little souls can generate. You should check it out. If you work with middle schoolers, you should go. You should take them. They’d be better for the experience.
One final note, I was reading this weekend and there was an old reference made to ICQ. I had totally forgot about ICQ. I remember “back in the day” when kids would sit for hours on that bad boy. It was the thing to do, so important to social survival and growth and maturity for a student. And now, I bet you hadn’t thought about it in months (or even years?). Makes you wonder if blogs and myspace will follow the same path.
Hope your Monday is a good one. I think I need more coffee.

Affogato
You never know how annoying it is to not have internet until you don't. Since when did nice hotels start charging $10/day for internet in their rooms. That seems absurd. That's I guess why God created Panera bread. A simple cup of coffee and free wi-fi. Of course if you factor in the gas and time it took to get the this location, the $10 might have actually been cheaper, but more difficult to explain.
So I had a first time experience last night--I watched an episode of Lost when it aired, like at the normal time and it was the next one I was supposed to watch. This whole waiting a week between shows is somethign I've got to get used to. I'm used to watching the whole season in a weekend. Waiting is both great and incredibly annoying. I simply want answers now.
So I'm in Dallas and we're setting up for next summer. It has been a great day, I've enjoyed what we've seen and the people we've met with are amazing. Makes me grateful for solid partners. DCC has some great folks and its a joy to work with people who love what they do and who want to make things as easy for you as they can.
We sat down with a young youth guy today--it was really a good talk, he's a sharp guy and slipping back into youth ministry discussions is fun. The one thing I hate is so many people when we contact them feel like we only want them to come to KS. Like, I want to talk to you about stuff, I'm not a salesman. It's annoying.
We've been having some good thoughts about the future of KS lately. I'm really open to things that I was at one time resistant of. Its fun to have a fruitful discussion about what we're supposed to do and feel like you can get up from the table and you've actually accomplished something and the conversation has been clarifying and helped you better plan for the future. Its fun to discover who you are and what you're supposed to do and then make a plan for how to get there. Its fun to do those things and not merely think or talk about them.
Closing Randoms: Hope the Cards win tonight. Actually, I hope the get to play tonight. Continuum is amazing. REI is a great store--you should buy me a gift card for there. Dallas is a great town. I can't wait to see my family.
One final thing. We've been thinking marketing a lot lately and I ran across this thought. I think it applies as much to live as to marketing and the fear that comes with planning for the future. It'll take you 2 minutes to read it, its worth the time.

All Over The Map
It's Wednesday. The album currently playing is:
How To Save a Life by The Fray
We leave today for Dallas. I'll be there through the weekend and it will be my first time back at a Believe in a couple years. I'm really looking forward to it becuase things have changed so much since I've been there and I think the location is going to be a great one.
Ben and I are heading down a little early to do some set up stuff for our own week in Dallas next year. I'm excited to be back because I absolutely loved Dallas last time I was there. There is something about the city, the feel and the people that I really liked so I'm ready to be back.
Other random information you should know:
I reorganized my office. Actually, Ang took my simple ideas and turned them into an inspiring place. I realized I work better in a creative space and that I needed to make the space mine. I've done that everywhere else I've been so its time to do it here. Here's the big change, there's really nothing Oregon in it. I've got a couple simple things but its really a whole new direction for me which I'm really excited about.
I'm enjoying the World Series. I don't find myself as emotional about it, other than I'm loving that the Cardinals are playing so well. Strangely you'll find I don't have much of an opinion on Kenny Rogers but I've loved the good baseball. The sport is amazing to me to begin with but more so when the games mean so much to those playing and those watching.
I got a new travel coffee mug from Starbucks when I was in Longmont. For some reason they decided to sell something on sale so I got it for nothing. I should have actually bought two but hey, I didn't.
I'm back to reading and checking out knowledge which is quite a good thing.
I taught those great pyschology classes yesterday. I pity the fools who sat through the first one, it was not good. The second class was a lot more fun and went a lot better. It was a good experience. I've discovered I don't have much of a passion for psychology. You could have known that if you'd looked at my college transcript.
I continue to pray for many I know and love who go through medical issues. There are a number right now so I'm doing the only thing I really can and praying. I'm looking forward to how God works it all out.
I continue to think about stuff I saw and talked about in Colorado. The trip was a really great one for me and has got me spinning on a number of issues.Combine that with the fact that I reopened some lines of communication with other people outside Colorado while on the trip it was profitable in a number of ways.
Well, it is cloudy and dark here. I like it.
Oh, and I hit a deer the other night. Stupid thing. Now I can barely open my passsenger side door. So cool. Peace.

Yep Yep
Just a quick note to let you know I am still alive. Yesterday was the other type of day I love in Colorado. No clouds in the sky, brilliant blue sky, mountains in all their glory, snow everywhere but the roads are completely free of snow or moisture and are totally dry. This place is amazing for that. I walked around with a cheezy smile on all day long.
For those curious, the trip was more than worth it. My moleskin is filled with pages of stuff, my heart and mind are swirling and at some points my thoughts are running so wild that I feel like I want to chuck. I think that part is good.
I have a couple more meetings today and then its back to the airport and back to my amazing family. It shall be wonderful tonight to see them, to slip back into that major piece of normality and peace.
So may your thursday be good. I have a new episode of Lost to watch, a new book to read, an old magazine to finish and faithful old tunes to fill my car. And today its me and my bud Coghill who'll join me for my meetings and again provide insight and profoundly deep, humorous and at times beautiful chaos and wisdom to my day. It will be very nice.

Simply Wonderful
Currently Listening: Continuum by John Mayer
I've not mentioned much about this album but it is amazing.
So I currently sit in a Panera in the great city of Boulder, Colorado. It is snowing outside, it has been ever since I landed. I had lunch at Red Robin and spent some time at Starbucks with my buddy Bford.
I'm out in the great Colorado to have some facinating meetings and hopefully become a little smarter and better prepared for some things. It should be good. In the meantime I'm back to a former home. It is very strange.
It is very. strange. to be back.
It has been good to see so many familiar faces and to have some great conversations already but still so weird to be back here.
I've got lots of thoughts swirling in my head but nothing worth sharing at this point. let me wish you a happy day, mine is amazing. I simply love snow.

The Sound of Settling
So its come to the point where I look forward to Jeff Weaver starts and am happy we only lost 2-0? I'm actually excited Beltran only hit one home run? I'm just happy we had a guy on base in the 9th so the tying run could come to the plate? We actually think the rain delay was to our benefit because we can throw our only solid starter earlier because we know all other options were that bad? I have truly been beaten down.
So its friday. I'm working a half day. We're having a garage sale today. I've sold more stuff than Ang. She doesn't find it is funny as I do.
So I was thinking. I'm quite certain no one comes to my blog looking for music reviews but since I absolutely love music and you should to <> .
So if you have $5 here's the 5 songs I think you should own. I'd love to hear what you think of them afterwards. I've put them in some sort of order in case you only have $3 or something.
1.Marching Bands of Manhattan by Death Cab For Cutie
2.Chaos by Mutemath
3.Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
4.Stars and Boulevards by Augustana
5.Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol
Okay, seriously you will dig them. You have to promise me you'll listen to the whole song before making any judgement but I seriously think all 5 artists are great and those are some of my favorite songs that these folks do.
Okay, its official, I'm teaching psychology in a week in a half. It is going to be......painful for them. I think I may exercise my own freudian angst on them.

Frostbite
Album(s) Currently Playing: Eyes Open and Final Straw by Snow Patrol
Oh how I love the cold. I admit I'm a sucker for the beach and a tan at times but since my body loses 90% of the lame tan I ever get within 45 minutes of being out of the sun and since my idea of hell on earth is anytime I can't wear a shirt, I've decided that I'm a winter guy. I dig hoodies, layered clothes, warm stuff...and sandals. Somehow in my twisted life I detest socks, unless they are tall ones pulled all the way up to my knees when I play basketball. I think it should be allowed for me to wear a stocking hat all the time. I'm not a real fan of gloves but I need a neverending supply hot coffee in my office.
By the way, did I mention I picked up some coffee in the Philippines and it is hands down (cover your ears Starbucks) the finest coffee I have ever had? I love the stuff. Probably too much. It is simply amazing and if we were really really good friends and you were here I'd let you see and smell it and if you brought me a bag of it, I'd brew some and let you have one small sip. Then I'd keep the rest for myself because I'm an only child and that's what we do.
Last night the manchild got something I've wanted all my life. A full size Oregon Ducks football helmet. I have a mini one in my office. He has a full size one. Again, the only child alarms are ringing. He put on his jersey, helmet and shorts last night and looked quite amazing. I'd show you a picture but, well, it won't load up.
I guess I should be enlightening you with my brilliance or telling you books you should read or some nonesense like that but instead I'm telling you that if you don't own Snow Patrol, Mat Kearney, Keane and Death Cab For Cutie you are not the hippie, tree hugging friend I need. Seriously, the stuff will in small and no salvation oriented ways change your life and at least make you happier and more grateful that you have me as a friend.
Since I'm feeling rather opinionated today I thought I'd share with you what I thought of the last couple movies I've seen. MI3-seen on a plane on my way home. It was a nice way to get through a couple hours on the flight. That is all I have to say. Firewall with Harrison Ford. Sucked. Ford couldn't beat anybody up and I'm not buying Han Solo/Indiana Jones as a techno security geek once he quit traveling the world. Nope, the dude doesn't hack it. The storyline is annoying and the ending was hokey even for a movie. For those of you who recommended the movie to me I (do not) salute you. May you have a random late fee show up next time you go to rent something.
On one final exciting note, I am cover a couple classes in 2 weeks. At Ozark. Classes on psychology. Random exciting fact: I got an F on my first psychology test. I actually pulled a D in the class, hands down the worst grade of my college career. So I think I'll make an amazing teacher ahem, proffessor. I'm also covering a crisis counseling class. That's hot.
Well, nothing about our talk today has blessed you or made you a better person but I feel better.

Easing My Way Back In
Currently Listening: Coldplay's Album A Rush Of Blood To The Head
For those of you still wondering, yes I am still alive.
I've realized that the longer I stay away from blogging, the harder it is to start again.
I've also realized the more I talk about myself, the easier it is to do it on a regular basis.
So life is good right now. We just had a great visit to Quincy, I've been busy with KS stuff and loving just about every minute of it. I've become a slightly different person in temperment, its the first cold of the fall so I'm growing the beard and looking rather like a Lost character.
Which reminds me, Ang and I stepped into the 90's and finished season 1 tonight. We stayed away as long as we could but now are slowing dropping down the rabbit hole with everybody else. I can't say the show is changing my life or making me better in any tangible ways I could make money off of but it is entertaining and enjoyable.
Other than that I have about 5 new artists I'm listening to all the time these days though I find myself with a comfortable old favorite tonight.
So there you go.
For those of you still wondering, yes I am still alive.
