Throwing Shoes

I'm sure you've all seen the video of President Bush have a shoe thrown at him, well my friend Eric Bramlett found the video to go along with it. You can see it here.

If they guy actually did hit the President, it would have been hilarious if he said, "That really hurt! I'm going to have a lump you idiot! I mean really, who throws a shoe?"

Too funny!

The Missing Piece

Remember in "It's A Wonderful Life," Jimmy Stewart was granted the opportunity to see what life would be like if he never existed. Do you ever wonder what this world would be like if you never existed? No not in the suicidal way that George Bailey was, but in the positive. What kind of impact have you had on those you walk day to day with? Earlier this evening I was looking at some friends family pictures on Facebook. This is a family that in one way or another, direct or indirect, I have played a role in bringing together. Two friends joined together and then they have created entirely new individuals, their children. Do you ever think about stuff like this? I guess it's just nice to think that the world wouldn't be the same, well without...me.

Christmas With Friends

This past weekend was Valley Churches large Christmas event, Christmas With Friends and what a great time as well as a privilege it is to work with such wonderful people. This year consisted of a small , 4 peice, rhythm section, 7 brass players, plus a string quartet. I also got to sing a very moving song, Born On Christmas Day, with just piano and strings, it was very nice and overall a great experience for me. I thought I would post what our service order was for all to see. The service looked like this:

> Jingle Bells - Diana Krall
> Let It Snow - Michael Buble
> Sleigh Ride - Brian Setzer
> Joy To The World - PraiseCharts.com
> Oh Come All Ye Faithful - PraiseCharts.com
> Silent Night - Mercy Me
> How Can I Keep From Singing - SheDaisy
> Born On Christmas Day - Peabo Bryson
> Hark The Herald - PraiseCharts.com

It turned out to be a really nice mix of music and a very moving service. Props to Kevin David and his leadership at Valley! Good job Kevin!
