RETURN OF THE ROBOTS...

I haven't forgot about the Robots, it's just that I don't like inflicting my readers with constant terror. Here is the latest from the front line:



From the website: In this season of specters and spooks, what could be scarier than a steel-winged robotic spy plane shaped like a bat? The aptly named COM-BATis a six-inch surveillance device that is powered by solar, wind, and vibrations. The concept was conceived by the US military as a means to gather real-time data for soldiers, and the Army has awarded the University of Michigan College of Engineering a five year $10-million dollar grant to develop it.

Is it ok to hate...

because someone is soo right? Just when you think you have all the answers lined up and are standing firmly on logic, reason, and justice, along comes John Piper to totally mess with your head. What do you do with a guy like this?



Good luck wrestling with that!

What A Week...

Sacramento, The OC, and finally the Central Coast...all in seven days! I told my buddy Jeff that I would lead worship for his retreat, and Julie had the Womens retreat at Hume Lake so that meant this trip to Morro Bay was just the Guys. If you can believe it I am a complete stranger to the Morro-Pismo area and this was my first ever trip. I now understand why it is called, "Fresno by the Sea" and after one trip do not feel compelled to return in the foreseeable future. I was, however, really intrigued by Highway 46 and all of the wineries so that is definitely in the future. When Reagan and I are together we do always have a blast so here are pictures of our exploits.

Life Lesson no charge...

I had a meeting at one of our nations preeminent mega-churches this last week. This is the overall conclusion I came to:

You know you've made it when you have your own street:
From Saddleback


But you have REALLY made it when you have a street named after the book that the Pastor of the Church wrote:
From Saddleback


Next I think they should build a place to show movies out doors and they could call it the "Purpose Drive-In."

Too Much?...well I guess that is why I will never have my own street.

California, here I come...

I am blogging about my trip to Sacramento from my hotel in Irvine. I took our family friends the Hales to be booth monkeys with me at a conference in Sac-Town over the weekend. None of us had been there since the fourth grade so we were all pleasantly surprised at how fun the downtown area was. Everything was in walking distance and we kept stumbling upon a bunch of great things to do. I was glad to go and definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun weekend getaway. Gotta love the pics:

Life is like a hurricane...
