The world's about to change

Saturday night was amazing! Unbelievable!

And what exactly happened on Saturday night? The David Crowder Band. @ the Moore Theater. In Seattle. One word. Amazing!

One minute were laughing & having a great time, the next moment were being challenged out of our socks (literally). Afterwards we headed over to Red Robin and shared some great burgers and fries with our friends Aaron & Amy. We couldn't stop talking about it. Man, what a great concert.

The best part, though, for me came at the end. They closed with their final song of their latest album - Remedy. It's been playing through my head ever since

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief

And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh, surely we can change
Something

Some Halloween Fun

In the past I have been accused of being slightly competitive. There may or may not be some element of truth in that statement. But just in case there was any doubt, here's an opportunity to for those who are competitively inclined.

Andy (Mike Brinkerhoff's son) has created a little Halloween game for our enjoyment. And like all good games, it has now become a competition - and like all great competitions there is a prize (something to do with candy corn I believe). Click here for the details. I've set the bar pretty high (in the nature of around 41,000 points). Go ahead, give it your best shot - but be warned, it is slightly addictive.

Update:
A new version of the game (slightly more difficult) has been posted here along with the official rules. Game On!!

Calling all Scrabble lovers

From time to time, I enjoy a good diversion. I recently discovered a great one here. If you like Scrabble, or just enjoy a little break - you're going to love this.

Brief description:
Played just like regular Scrabble, except it's all online. When you make a move, it emails your partner to let them know it's their turn to move. When they make a move, it emails you to let you know it's you're turn to move. Some games last a few days, some games last a few weeks - play at your own pace.

If you're interested in playing, create a game and add me in.

Game on!

Remember Virginia Tech

On Monday morning, school started back up on the campus of Virginia Tech. But for many of the students things will never be the same. That all changed on April 16 when 32 individuals lost their lives.

Among those was a close friend of one of my brothers growing up. Yesterday morning, Good Morning America had a brief tribute to Jamie and the life he lived. Click here to watch it. I love the part where they say that Jamie was indeed at the right place at the right time. He was doing what he loved doing - making a difference in the lives of those students. Thank you, Jamie. We will miss you.
