we had a blast tonight…

What a week…

(my fiancee informed me that i’ve only posted once this week…so this is for you sweetie)

This week has been a week of firsts…(bullets!)

  • the church’s first “visitation” (went quite well)
  • my first day back in seminary (you gotta hafta know greek)
  • my first meeting with little rock christian’s chapel team (i’m helping out with the music for their high school chapel)
  • the church’s first fax machine was set up (we’re big time now)
  • the church’s first book series (ephesians) begins this week
  • we began working in office number two
  • so because of these things…i’ve been unable to entertain the masses (sarcasm) and post this week…

    however, i have been working on a couple of posts…one that asks the question “does our methodology express our theology in our own lives, not just the church“. And another dealing with our concept of “needs versus wants” (mainly dealing with materialism). the reason i haven’t posted these yet is because the lord is still teaching me some things about them…

    and we have another photo contest i’ll try putting up in a couple of weeks…so get your cameras ready…

    and now to add some color to the post…

    fax

    (way cool fax/copier/scanner/printer/cookyoudinner machine)
    we’ve actually had this for a while but never had a land-line where we could use the fax

    officetwo

    office number two…(which looks quite similar to office number one…except for the lack of a dry-erase board)

    Staying Connected

    though i’m not convinced that having a device that checks my email on my hip all the time is a good thing…never-the-less i bought one yesterday from att…

    blackjack

    (it’s a blackjack)

    you may be thinking…”but grant…aren’t you a mac guy?…why would buy something that’s not a mac product?…especially since they have the iphone?” a few reasons…

  • i didn’t have to pay $600
  • i had a upgrade discount i could use
  • i found a way to sync my mac with the phone
  • i didn’t have to pay $600
  • i’m liking it so far…although i kind of miss my old phone (i get a little attached to an object that i’ve used for two years straight…and when i change it…well it’s just weird).

    Happy Sad

    this is my fiancee…

    Kim

    have fun love…

    All Night Chick-fil-a

    Well my fiancee is camping out at chick-fil-a tonight…again…

    Yes you heard (read) me right…
    Not only is she actually camping out at chick-fil-a…but it is her second time in three weeks…

    You see…Chick-fil-a has a pretty great promo deal for when they open a new store. The first 100 people get a years worth (52 value meals) of chicken for free…

    and who doesn’t like chicken?
    especially free chicken?

    and really it’s a big party out there…loud music…free food…news stations…crazy chicken addicts
    it’s quite the experience!

    I didn’t have my camera this time…but I do have a picture from a couple of weeks ago…

    Beautiful Day

    Usually in July…Arkansas is nothing more than a hot bowl of heat and humidity…however lately…it has rained so much that it has kept the temperature down in the 80’s and helped make the normally hot July days bearable…

    it was a pretty day…so I took some shots…

    He Is Good

    Cows

    Cows

    There is no need to inform me that there is really nothing inherently spectacular about these pictures…but sometimes…

    through the busyness of work…
    the stresses in life…
    the worries of tomorrow…

    we need to be reminded that if the Lord takes care of the sparrow (or cow) and clothes the flowers (or grass)…how much more will He take care of you…

    the Lord likes to remind me of these things at very random times…and sometimes…he uses the most unlikely to open my eyes…

    (He is good…all the time)

    The Body

    the coastal cafe in the river market now knows me by my first name…
    that made me happy…

    we hung out last night with seanmichel before they leave for their summer tour.
    we prayed…ate…and revisited the truth of the body of christ.
    which led me to revisit the lectionary.
    it use to be a part of my everyday readings…i’ve decided it should make its comeback

    (Psalm 88 am, Psalm 91,92 pm
    1 Samuel 3:1-21, Acts 2:37-47, Luke 21:5-19)

    my roommate decided it would be a good time to introduce bocce ball to everyone.
    so some played…and some watched…
