Random Stuf #1: April was asked to decorate the church for Christmas this year. So... we spent all day yesterday spraying artificial snow on fifteen 10 to 14 foot dead trees... and decorating a couple of 8 foot wreaths. A huge thanks to Brandi Kirkbride who helped us out a ton. It was a long day... but well worth it to see the finished product. Here are a couple of pics.
Random Stuf #2: Married Life LIVE was a big hit. The theme this time around was a cruise ship and it was called "The Motion of The Ocean". The BIG IDEA of the night was that there is a strong current that will pull us away from God's plan for our marriages... if we don't put our trust in Him. It was a great night. Kevin West brought an amazing message... the food was the best ever... the "Mad Gab"crowd game was so much fun... and the band (as always) had a great time playing cruise music! I mean... where else do you have the opportunity to perform great songs like:
"The Love Boat" theme (Yeah... you've just gotta to throw that one in... right?)
"Rock The Boat" by the Hues Corporation
"Soak Up The Sun" by Sheryl Crow
"Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley
"Brown Eyed Girl" by Jimmy Buffet
"Two Tickets To Paradise" by Eddie Money
We closed great song from North Point Community Church called "Neither One of Us".
Here are a few pics from the night:
Probably... the coolest thing that happened all night... was when we gave away an actual cruise. And get this: The couple that won the cruise... never got to go on a honeymoon!
I love the way God orchestrates these things! And I LOVE Married Life Live at NewPointe.Random Stuf #3: What is the #1 most innovative household product of 2008?
drum roll please...
The Moo-mixer! Yeah... Miriam Beachy bought me this great little "chalice of chocolaty happiness" a couple of weeks ago as a gift. You see...Miriam knows that I LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK! I know it sounds crazy... but this thing is amazing! You pour your milk into it... squirt a little Hersheys chocolate syrup in... push the button... and VIOLA!... you have the perfect glass of chocolate milk. OK... so it may not be all the most innovative product of 2008... and it may seem kinda silly (and lazy)... but I love my Moo-mixer!
Random Stuf #4: My Tennessee Titans are 11-1 now. This has been one exciting season so far. Who would have ever dreamed in a million years that the Tennessee Titans would be the #1 team in the NFL at his point in the season? Kerry Collins has been absolutely amazing. The whole team seems to be on "cruise control" at this point. They make it look so easy. Except for the little hiccup with the Jets the other day (Whose this Brett Favre guy anyways?) ... will anybody else be able to beat them? We'll see.
Random Stuf #5: We ended the service last week with the Casting Crowns tune, "Slow Fade". If you have heard the song before... then you know that it ends with a child's voice singing "Be careful little eyes what you see...". Well... my daughter Aly sang with on the song this past weekend. I've got to tell you... I almost didn't recover (1st service) when she sat down beside me on the piano bench just as I was singing "Daddies never crumble in a day...". WOW! That was a powerful moment for me. Here is a pic of Aly singing with me.
More Random Stuf later...

Married Life Live at New Pointe is always a great night out, and this last one was spectacular! I would just like to enter my vote that you and your lovely wife serve as co-hosts for the next one; it would be nice to hear the banter from a real married couple and you two would be great. Keep Matt though - his comedy is so natural!
