it was two years ago today that erin & i walked the aisle together, said our vows and she has generally put up with me ever since. Love Ya Dear! look forward to many more great years.
latest christian rip off : cough.. spin off
i am not the biggest critic of christian culture spinning off of secular culture stuff, but it does annoy me. Jesus doesn’t say conform the worlds things to be more like me as far as i know, but that’s what we do. not to mention, this kind of thing only feeds into consumerism which is very culture oriented. anyways, i got this from the journal of student ministries as one of their newer sponsors. i’m glad they are sponsoring the magazine, because that is quality. but the idea of dance dance dance praise revolution has me gagging.
thoughts.. how does one interpret if the holy spirit is moving while playing? or is there holy spirit expert level?
music monday : my teen years
yes its tuesday, who really cares though?
in my teen years it was a summer tradition to pack the buddies into a car and head out to the mann music center to catch the steve miller band. i cannot even recount all the stories.. some i probably shouldn’t. we all knew, and still know, every word to every song. call that cool or sad it is what it is.
i had always heard this rumor that steve would ride his bike around the grounds of a concert venue before a show. he wasn’t a daily mtv face & his image wasn’t on albums or t-shirts so it was feasible to think that he could do that without being noticed.. i never noticed him, but it was neat to think he rode by at some point. anyways this is one of his most popular or mainstream songs.
as the wife blogs : freshly rolled
erin had started a new hybrid blog of personal & business stuff as ‘the bugbabe’ now she’s working up a new more business blog, but i’m sure it will morph at a point, called ‘the buzz of nashville.‘ give her some love would ya please. now, if only i can get her to twitter…
