i am going to be posting for a while on my new blog

check it out, i dig the interface and functionality a bit better

busy bee...

stoked for the weekend, having a bachelor party for my bud ants up in big bear, leave fri and get back sometime sunday. totally stoked for him getting married and yet at the same time i think, wow, time flies and i cant believe he is getting married. his wedding is nov. 1st down in SD at PLNU. im the best man which means im giving the "speech". i have been preparing mentally for the challenge and am honored that ant's asked me to do that for him.

today going to the gym after work, then going to go over some work i need to finish for work (redundant no?). then read for a while and prepare for my teaching next week for my high school grp. going to continue laying a foundation for spiritual gifts, most likely try and tackle questions like, who/what is the holy spirit? why is the spirit important? what role does the spirit play in our lives and what role did he play in the lives of the OT and NT apostles/prophets?

i also just signed up for the essentials course which im totally stoked to do. it is 15 weeks and is 3 separate course each 5 weeks, the essentials red, blue and green courses. "You’ll study the arts of worship theology, history, creativity, spiritual formation and leadership with internationally respected worship leader Dan Wilt, M.Min., with media from N.T. Wright, Robert Webber, Matt Redman, Brian Doerksen and others. Via books like Simply Christian, Ancient-Future Time and Essentials In Worship..."

sore legs n teaching...

started back at the gym this week, which has been good, but im all sore, i dig it though. main reason why i started back at the gym is my knee has been giving me a lot of trouble lately when trying to run and it has been extremely frustrating. so, now i am working out my legs to strengthen which will hopefully help and give me the ability to run. also, in the meantime i have been biking at the gym (giving my knee some rest) and strengthening there too.

tonight should be good, one of the youth is leading the discussion tonight

i need to finish preparing for my teaching next week on spiritual gifts. i am going to teach most likely out of 1 Corinth. 12 and Romans 12, do an over arching teaching on all gifts, whether it be the more natural (teaching, leading, service, etc...) to the more super natural (prophecy, tongues, healing, etc...). also the situational vs the constitutional gifting's.

pondering...

monday morning, great weather, overcast/cloudy and cool (perfect for drinking coffee)

had a blast last night playing music with ryan in his studio and gets me thinking of really pursuing music again. i definitely miss being stretched, pushed and challenged in that area and was thoroughly stoked and amped after last night. right now im in this season of figuring out what it is im going to do with life (i think the majority of people are in that place).

so, i am going to just let the sails take me wherever and see what happens...

well time to get back to work and...work...

driving down to sd today to get my new tat. so stoked.

i will also be broke as a monkey until i get paid on Oct 2nd. i am now on a nice tight budget for the next few months due to having to start paying off a school loan and paying a little more in rent. i need to get a raise at my job badly or get another source of some extra mula so i can have a bit more spending money...

maybe start some guitar lessons, i have some people bugging me to do it...

its a totally beautiful morning, just got back from prayer and eating some breakfast at mimi's with luc, eric and bruce.

time for an early morning swim

flamers @ world market?

so, funny story:

luc and i the other day were heading into world market to buy some wall art to finish off our place and as were walked into the store luc noticed the ladies at the counter kinda staring and laughing at us. i noticed luc kinda chuckling to himself and he said "ill tell you in a second."

we were there for probably 30 min or so comparing pictures and colors and trying to find some candles and few other small things for out place. when we get up to the counter to pay the lady asked "did you guys just move here" and i say "yah we just moved in together down the st." she started them giving us all these shopping and cooking tips as were paying for our merch.

looking back i realized what i said "we just moved in together" and we were comparing colors, art, and trying to find the best smelling candle(i was wearing a pink t-shirt that day).

so the ladies totally thought we were...well you know...
