Check it out: Dude you freakin rocked sing those lyrics so good dude if u knew this song when u were in 5 grade or in 4 grade and there was a talent show and you play this at the talent show you would get a very high score and a lot of girlfriends and u would be famous and win and if you attend a band all the other bands...
How to take a hot bath when your water heater is...
This is for Angela. I think I’m just going to have another ice-shower.
Water heater drama
Roto-Rooter’s technician was extremely polite and helpful. Unfortunately, Rheem’s tech support was not, so we’re still on cold showers.

Art: Santa meets a formidable foe!
Last night at our Jr. High youth group meeting, we decorated stocking, played games, and had a great time hanging out together. There was a supply of paper and colored pencils around, so I took it upon myself to create a new line of artwork illustrating Santa in all sorts of precarious predicaments. Allow me to humbly present the first of my two masterpieces: “Santa meets a formidable...

Sunday Set-List: December 5, 2010
This post is coming in a bit late, since it’s technically Saturday, but here are the set lists from this past Sunday.
This marked the first week for me as a worship leader for two different churches. Both churches (Evergreen Community Church and River Oaks Community Church) share a building, and the services happen back-to-back. We share musicians (and usually set-lists) as well, so for the...

Usually, one or two percentage points don’t make a big difference, but when it comes to milk, 1% is TOTALLY different than 2%.

How I make videos
I have quite a few videos up on YouTube. In putting together close to 100 videos, I’ve come up with a few techniques that, in my opinion, give some good results. I’ll spend a bit of time here going through my process. This is going to be a bit of a lengthy post, but hopefully I can help people out who are trying to shoot good quality videos on a budget. This will be of most interest to...

Simple worship observation
I had the awesome privilege to lead a group of church planting pastors in worship tonight. We just sang three songs, and the only instrumentation was an acoustic guitar. It was a beautiful time of worship. Why? Because these guys just let loose and worshipped. You don’t have to have a band full of awesome musicians (though it certainly doesn’t hurt). You don’t have to play the...

Posterous vs Tumblr (again)
So I’m back to this question: use Posterous or Tumblr for this personal blog/lifestream thing. I’ve been using Posterous for a while now, and while I like it, I use Tumblr for another niche blog, and I like that a lot, too. Tumblr definitely has the twitter-esque community building thing going for it, which is pretty huge. I’ve posted before why I really like (and have been...
