Did you know that wildebeest isn't spelled wildabeast? Hmmph. I didn't. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildebeest) Now we know and can rest easier at night.Not much going on with Kerri and I.

Throughout this experience I have found myself online and e-connected less and less, with the exception of my iPhone. (Or maybe the iPhone was the reason in the first place? Hmmm...)

The seemingly obvious choice was Amechi Fence in Turnersville. They were well known and had been in business for over two decades. But I’m not the type to just go with the first company that comes to mind or that is recommended.

Regardless, we had fun this summer: beach days with the youth group, Jack Johnson (Dani came up to visit!), Dave Matthews, landscaping and new fence at the house.

Working here at Discovery has revolutionized my life. Meeting Kerri has revolutionized my life. I have been...revolutionized! Seriously though, I am excited about this year and the direction God has me in.At a dinner recently a friend of mine made a very cool statement.

I thought about going through all the channels: MySpace, Facebook, text message, email, and of course a few phone calls...as well as a great and inspirational blog about how much Jesus loves us all.

The book, one of John Eldridge's best, is a journey that forces you to dig deep in your life. What strikes me is how much better a man I am as a result of it. I am becoming a better husband, a better friend, a better me.

I got plenty of sleep last night, spent time with the Lord this morning, and still i feel an irritability I can't seem to shake. Is something really wrong? I don't know. I can only conclude I need to seek God more and more and He will help me work through it. Have you ever felt that way?

As it seems, it's not a fad as I once thought and people actually DO read them! Shocker. As I read more and more blogs on a regular basis for work, I decided it would be good to get back into it.

My excuse? Agenda. Too much on it, that is. This past weekend was a blur of drama, singing, spaghetti dinner and church. Ah, the good times. The spaghetti dinner was amazing.

It keeps adapting as you tell it what you like. It plays a lot of indie and upcoming artists; as you rate them, it molds your station. You can create up to 100 stations! Pretty cool, huh?

It used to be that I would take each day as it came and not put any thought into the future. Those days are fading as I become more and more involved with ministry. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining OR saying that I am worrying about the future, just that I am learning the value in time management.
