Tuna Spoons

Went to lunch yesterday at the most amazing sushi restaurant I have ever been to. Sony Gao is the chef and owner and does some amazing stuff with sushi. I you come visit sometime and you like sushi, we definitely need to go there. That will be my first Date Night with Stacy when she joins me.

You should really check out his facebook page. Here is the link to his mobile uploads. Good looking stuff http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.101926479897956.3831.100002418122097&type=3

If you haven’t hear by now Stacy and I are about to start a new adventure. Not not children or anything like that. We are just moving.

I say just, but it is really a long move. Fredericksburg, Virginia to be exact. Neither one of us has ever lived this far from home, and it will definitely come with it’s plus and minuses.

First Minus - Family

I am realizing the closer I get to Thanksgiving that I am really going to miss my family. I really enjoy being with and around them. Sometimes I know I don’t show it but when I don’t get to talk to or see them for a while it feels weird. To help with that we are going to have Christmas and Thanksgiving together this year all at one time. I will be fun.

First Plus – God’s will

Yes, that is true. The reason we are leaving is that I have a new job at a church in Virginia. It is something I battle with and something my wife and I talked and prayed about a good bit. I can guarantee you that it has been affirmed in many ways. If you see me, ask me about it and I will share that with you. Stacy and I struggle to find the things that make us happy, but have realized more and more that what God wants for us makes us happy. Even though we will be poorer and living in a more expensive place we know that everything will work out and it is where we need to be.

I hope to make a note like this every night till I then we move. I will head out on December 2 and Stacy will finish out the semester and join me on the 17th. I will try to tag pictures and post things on facebook. We are also starting a new site to sell our Junk on. You should check it out when we get it up. I will post about that.

Always open to comments and such. Look forward to hearing from you.

Tornado Damage

My brother Matthew (Matt) works for the phone company and has been sent out during and after the recent storms. This morning he started sharing photos with me. I decided I wanted to share them with you. All of the photos are from Okolona, MS. Click here for the gallery. I will receive more photos through the day, so keep checking back.

Secret Church

Had an awesome night at Secret Church along with many other churches in town and throughout the world. Six hours of insane high speed bible study with David Platt. If you did not get to watch it, go online and download the video and study guide. It is worth watching. I am sure I will watch it again. If your church did not participate it should. Not because it is David Platt, but because it is an awesome church growing experience for your congregation.

Prayer for Salvation, Prayer for India, and Prayer for the word of Christ to be spread through the world as well as excellent illustrations and thoughts on the scriptures that will help you in your walk with Christ.

NO, this is not a project but I wanted to talk about it and encourage you to participate. If you want to see what other people thought about the night check out twitter and the hashtag #SC10 . This event trended to the 3rd spot on twitter within an hour of the beginning. If you have more questions feel free to contact me. I will get you in touch with people in the know.

Well, just to inspire some of the people I have recently met up with I thought I might post actual recordings of the 1993 University of Southern Mississippi Chorale. I bounced them from tape a few years back, so here they are in all of their analog tape sounding glory.

Recordings

Oh, I have included composer and other information in the files if you are interested.
