week 16

We've reached Week 16 in Holly's term...that's 40% through! So far so good...minus the nausea. Baby is now 4.5" long (the size of an avocado), is now developing a scalp and even growing toenails! I drew a cartoon of the kiddo....(okay, not really).....

Starting to bulge a little bit!

hillsong U almost on top

Just downloaded Hillsong United's new album. These guys are rockin' it from Australia and regularly tour the states. Have to catch them sometime.

Anyway, iTunes reports their album is sitting at #2 on album downloads passing Keith Urban and quickly catching up with Eminem's new album, which currently sits at #1. Pretty sweet. :)

the WHOLE world is in His hands

Great new video from Igniter Media...

[PLEASE NOTE: there are some graphic images]

Robin

I made a new friend today. His name is Robin. He hung out with me whilst working on some front yard landscaping (more on that later).

We cranked up some Creed and Smashing Pumpkins whilst he supervised my work and ate pretty much every wormy, grubby, sub-surface crawler I unearthed.

He was with me the whole afternoon, too, except when he flew away a few times....probably to poop on my house all that he had eaten. I could swear I was watching this feasting fowl grow by the hour.

just for fun...

The playoff beard as of Conference Final faceoff...

Mac & PC at it again

more shots around the church building

Love the carpet strips in the book holders...

Finally, a real testament to Tech guys everywhere and their nomadic work at and away from the console...always getting up and sitting down...over and over...

the ugly side of church technology

I'm teching a wedding this weekend in a church building I had never before visited, and I was introduced to my audio setup this afternoon. And suddenly I'm reminded there's an ugly side of church technology systems...the side that doesn't have a budget much less very little maintenance. I knew I should've packed my soldering iron.

it's good to be home.
