Weekend Decompress

FRIDAY

  • Sid came home and then we headed over to some good friend’s for dinner and cigars.
  • We had a blast and enjoyed spending time with our friends and family.
  • Sid and I came home, and watch an episode of Numbers and then crashed.
  • At around 1:00 am, I woke up in SERIOUS pain.  My back (or hip) was messed up – it might have been a dig under me most of the night, or just sleeping wrong, either way, I was in a lot of pain.
  • I did the best I could, until I finally laid on the floor, pulled a blanket and a pillow, then fell (sort of) asleep.

SATURDAY

  • I woke up (very stiff) and started on my day.
  • Sid went to her 2nd job, and I started getting the house ready for A2.
  • As the day went on, my hip (back) started to loosen up, so all in all, I started to feel better.
  • I watched Wyatt Earp while I cleaned, I have never seen it, not a bad movie, but I still prefer Tombstone.
  • Acts 2 was cool, a little slim people-wise, but good times.
  • Today was the first time I actually watched and entire NASCAR race from start to finish. Truly amazing.
  • I used to think that it was a bunch of cars driving fast and turning left, but I am starting to understand race strategy.
  • I made a little dinner for Sid and we watched the end of the race together and then hit the bed.
  • I figured out the best way I could sleep, and passed out.

SUNDAY

  • 6:45 came early and I felt….pretty good.
  • The typical Sunday morning routine (shower, dogs out, dogs fed, shirts ironed) and then hit the road.
  • Today was my first time opening the church for the Worship Team…not that I have never opened a church before, but I was a little nervous about the alarm code working.
  • Adam, the youth guy, was already there, so there was no need to fear.
  • Dave and Michelle were joining me in the tech booth, so it was a “family affair” at Common Ground.
  • Danny, Sr. Pastor, over at Common Ground, was on point and delivered a message that hit VERY close to home.  It was really powerful stuff.
  • After church, I came home and waited for my lovely bride to come home.
  • One thing I love about Sid, she is watching services from NewSpring Church, in S. Carolina, and feeding quotes via her Twitter…I LOVE that she does that!
  • Sid fixed a GREAT dinner (stir fry veggies and tofu) – she did some voodoo to the tofu and it was great.
  • We spent (and are spending) the rest of the night chilling and just detoxing from the week.

WEEKLY LOOK AHEAD

  • A couple of key meetings this week. It’s going to be great, challenging, but great.
  • The Job Hunt continues even more this week, the couple of opportunities I had, dried up.  So, we’re starting back a square one again…again.
  • I’m excited because Star Trek launches this weekend, Sid and I cannot wait.

Weekend Decompress (Monday Edition)

  • I apologize about the lack of any updates in a while, but I have been getting my can kicked my a cold/flu bug that has had me not sleeping and coughing all night and day.  I am starting to feel myself, more everyday, so by week’s end, I should be back to “normal”.
  • I received an amazing privilege on Wednesday of last week…Dave and Michelle Ness, part of the A2 Posse, decided that they wanted to follow in Believer’s Baptism.  WAY COOL…in many senses.  It’s awesome to be a part of a Christ Follower’s decision to get baptized AND the water was VERY cold.  Pictures will be coming shortly.  It was awesome.
  • I played at my old church for Good Friday and Sarah-Irene ran sound.  Yes, it WAS awkward, and yes, we were very welcomed by a lot of our old friends.  As for the old NON friends…well, let’s just say, ………
  • Anyway, Saturday was the Acts 2 Tampa cook-out.  We had a BLAST cooking all sorts of meats and sides.  I made 2 back explosions, a fire pit, a few drinks, and good time was had by all.
  • Sunday, Easter morning, I played drums at Common Ground Tampa.  I love Danny Schaffner and Common Ground.  They are an inner-city church that is really doing a lot of things right.  It was fun and I look forward to playing there again, very soon.
  • Sid is working a church conference in California all this week, so I am bach’ing it.  It sucks, I miss my wife, but I am very glad she is hanging out with some old friends, and doing what she loves.
  • I will say that her flights to Atlanta and Los Angeles were very eventful.  She met a few famous folks: WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Beth Phoenix and Good Eat’s Alton Brown.  Yes, she got me autographs, and yes, I am jealous…but happy for her!
  • For the most part, if I wasn’t somewhere, I was in bed and medicated (Props to Nyquil), so I haven’t been blogging, Twittering, Face Booking, or any other Social Networking…but I am alive and feeling better.

WEEKLY LOOK AHEAD

  • I have on good authority that I am 1 of 4 candidates for a full time job. It’s not a church job, and I am very excited about that.  I look forward to working during the week and working for God non-occupationally.
  • I need some prayers and good thoughts ALL DAY on Tuesday – the HR Department is meeting and deciding which direction they want to go…please pray that they come my direction.
  • INC-Tampa is meeting on Tuesday, so I’m taking all the A2 Posse that is available, down to the most amazing group of church leaders in Tampa!
  • Sid gets back on Friday, so I am looking forward to her return.
  • Acts 2 Tampa starts studying through the book of Acts (appropriately) on Saturday, and then I’ll be at Common Ground on Sunday…Good times!
