Although I’m sure John Lennon would be fine with this ad, it’s still a bit weird to see him beyond the grave digitally enhanced talking about laptops.  The Beatles Rock Band promo was a little eerie as well …  That one not as much though cause it’s set to more upbeat music.  This one comes off as a little creepy…

I don’t watch Idol but someone told me that Jim Ranger a guy I grew up with was on!
Found the clip on youtube.

Way to go Jim!

I started working out in August to bulk up cause I’d lost so much weight due to work stress over the summer…  I was down to 147 when I started working out.  I’ve since then been on a strict diet and workout regiment.  For the first time ever I’ve seen a change in my body.  I just weighed in at 180 last night.  This is the first time I’ve ever seen that number.  I could not have done it without my friend Jason Rivera.  Now I want to gain 10 more lbs then lean out.  This workout thing is addicting.  I’ve only had 2 injuries in the last 4 to 5 months which is pretty good.  Ready to continue.

Thought I would just vent a bit.  Even if you’re not a Conan fan you have to admit this is messed up!  The guy pays his dues for years, they tell him in 5 years you’re getting the Tonight Show.  That time finally comes and months later they take it away cause the old host can’t get the ratings at his new time!  And your ratings struggle cause LENO is your lead in.  NBC…  I like your programming.  Big fan of 30 Rock, The Office and Community, but you’ve messed up. I know your mind is made up, but so is mine…  I’m with COCO.  And I’m following him to whatever station (FOX) He ends up at.

I know it’s stupid for me to get upset over a stupid show, but it’s just they way it’s going down gets under my skin.  The only cool thing is I got to go to the show about 3 weeks ago.  that’s when all the rumors were going around.  Doesn’t matter in the long run.  Conan got paid and he came out the hero.

YOU THE MAN COCO!

And PS to Jay Leno…  Own Up!

Do you ever get out of alignment?  I do.  In fact recently I was.  Just like a car, when you’re alignment is off it causes for a bumpy ride.
I’m happy to say that I’m getting back to center all over again.  The amazing thing about God is he makes the road smooth again when we adjust the things inside back to center.  Center being God.  I Choose God.

Thank You Jesus for your grace.  I want to remain in You, (Refuge)

This year’s Winter Camp was a blast.  SCY is growing!   We’re up 20 something kids from last years winter camp.  Our Speakers were amazing (Tim Heredia, Josh Jones and Breanne Stephen) and Flipside Youth did a great job in worship.  Our food was off the hook and we even found SNOW!

Our 2K10 party even included us being able to watch the ball drop in NYC time square…  That’s right from the chapel of Camp Bethel…

A special thanks to all our team (Interns, Kitchen Crew and workers) for making this the BEST Winter camp ever.  Much Love to all!
