Singing Fools.

Here are some Pics from the Saddleback Creative Arts Worship Conference. These are some of the most talented people I know.

Poor John..

I was chosen to act in one of the skits at the worship conference this week. I was supposed to be acting as a worship leader (naturally) and I was supposed to be writing a new song. Everyone who I work with at the church knows that I haven't been playing guitar for very long, and in the skit, I was supposed to mess up. Well, after the skit as finished, I had more than 10 people come to me and say that they really thought I messed up and they felt so bad for me. I had to explain to them I was acting. Here is a picture of me in the moment.

Book plug.

I have to share this with all of you. I kept hearing a buzz about this book The Shack. I was at Barnes and Noble on friday night and I picked it up. I couldn't stop reading it. A book has never caused me to cry or laugh out loud until "the shack". We all have an image of God and who He is or how He responds to us. This will take your image, good or bad, and give you an awesome perspective. 

Pick it up. You wont regret it. 

I got my hairs cut

A new favorite.

I like to be known for discovering "new" places that no one knows about. Even though that's not the case this time, I still have to tell you about my new favorite coffee place. Tully's in Lake Forest. Here is why;

• Great Coffee (a must)
• Free Wi-Fi (the way it should be! Thanks for the heads up Hyde.)
• At least 3 different power outlets.
  
• Plenty of inside and outside seating.
• One of the few "ma and pa" shops left in Orange County (keep em' alive!)
• Free Refills (not sure if this is standard or just b/c I'm cute)

I'm not one to slam Starbucks. As a matter of fact, I probably keep them in business. But, Tully's is slowly winning my heart.

EKG/Hair Removal

So I went to get my ticker checked out after being on some pretty strong meds, and everything came back completely normal. Its always comforting to know that your heart is working the way it should be.

The best part about this EKG is when I took my shirt and laid down on the bed (no wandering minds please) and the nurse turned around and said, "I really hope I don't have to shave you". WHO SAY'S THAT?! The nerve! I thought to myself, thank you for such great bedside manner, I really appreciate it.

Then I gave her a gold star.

How you doin?

Last night on my way home I stopped at Del Taco to get the del deal (2 red burritos a taco and a drink 2.99, cant beat that!), and I pulled up to the drive through window and I asked the man how he was doing, with a surprised look he said to me, "Im GREAT! thank you for asking, I don't usually hear that from the customer". I apologized to him for all of mankind (I didn't exactly say that but you know what I mean). Then I asked him if he knew who Jesus was....... Just kidding, I couldn't close the deal that quickly, but I might be able to talk to him again, God know's I go to del taco enough. So, lets make it a goal to ask the people who we encounter throughout the day a simple "how are you". Who's In?
