friday morning face

elsie is asleep in her swing...

katie is catching up on some much needed rest...

and i am trying to catch up by listening to sports talk radio...i would be watching espn...but i don't want turn the tv on and thus wake up my sleeping wife...hence the huge radio headphones...

movies worth seeing

here are a couple of movies that i would highly recommend...

last weekend we took several high school students to see a movie called 'to save a life'

the movie revolves a character named jake taylor who is living the teenage dream. he is good looking, popular, star athlete, and has the admiration of everyone especially his cheerleader girlfriend....jake starts to evaluate his life as the result of a significant event in his life. he begins to ask himself the question 'what is the point?'

for those of us who work with teens its a must see.


the second movie that is a must see is called 'the worlds fastest indian'

oddly enough this movie is not about m. night shyamalan running track. its about an older new zealand gentleman who lives out his dream of racing at the salt flats on his 1920 indian motorcycle. it is such a wonderful movie and one that every guy needs to see.

let me know what you think of these movies when you see them. and enjoy

Squirters

when did the nfl waterboy start squirting the gatorade/water into the players mouth?

i have been thinking about this all football season...does this man really get paid to squirt water into the mouths of nfl players? and what happens if he misses and squirts him in the face like in the picture above...does the player tackle him?

i think i would really like to have my own h20 squirter...that way i wouldn't ever have to put my bible down or look away from the computer as i am working on a lesson...i could just cock my head a little bit to the side and open my mouth for a nice blast of monster energy drink or a shot of hot coffee...

wouldn't that be great!

on being a dad

i can't seem to help myself these days...i am much more emotional...i can't seem to listen to a song or watch a lifetime movie ( just kidding) without getting all teary eyed...i blame it on my daughter...


who is perfect by the way....

i think the lack of sleep coupled with the hormones my wife is emitting from her body is to blame...either way...i love being a dad and i love this little girl...more to come about her

a unique fathers day

fathers day was special this year for me...mostly because of this...


katie and i are expecting our first child in early january...its been really fun telling people...she is currently 12 weeks along...we are super excited and are looking forward to january...

new computer

so katie and i just bought our first computer...its a macbook g4...we bought it refurbished from the apple store super cheep...or i guess i should say super inexpensive...the computer we had before that was given to us by a friend who had fixed it after it crashed and burned or something like that...it worked for us but was basically an internet machine...i am looking forward to having a legitimate computer....and a macbook at that...so here is to katie and i joining the 21st century...

also i am glad i am not going to be alive for when people have to start saying the 22nd century...it just doesn't sound as good...i think its the ND indstead of the ST...but either way i am glad i won't have to say that...

also the steelers have the 4th easiest schedule this year...kind of makes me nervous cause they had the hardest last year and won the superbowl....so we'll see...

i have stopped caring

i was able to go to youth specialities this fall in pittsburgh pa and it was good for me to see all the different types of youth ministers there...i used to want to be like a lot of them....you know the cool youth minister that dressed cool and listened to the same music that their kids like...but i have realized that i am not that guy...i have stopped caring...

i think the moment that i realized this was the week i started wearing my cell phone on my belt...it was much easier to wear it there than to keep it in my pocket...i also started using a bluetooth headset....i have stopped caring how uncool this makes me...i have stopped caring that it makes me 20 years older than i am...its convienient and i like it...

hears to you all you bluetooth wearers and cell phone belt clippers...
