Fortuitous Bouncing
Well I came into Black Friday with every intention of spending no money. I knew we had little to spend on Christmas and had no desire to get up early, so it seemed like an easy thing to spend no money. Well that was until later in the evening when someone told me they would give me their Christmas gift early if it helped me get closer to buying a tv like I had been talking about doing ever since we moved. Lo and behold…I walked out of Best Buy last night with this…. 40 inches of pure wonderful awesomeness. In all honesty, our previous tv was just too small for our new place, but fit our old apartment dec

3 Things
Inevitably, today and tomorrow, the blogosphere will be inundated with every blogger posting about what they are thankful for. I could choose to rebel or embrace this fact. I choose to embrace.

Fortuitous Bouncing
I’ve been at Idea Camp Pacific Northwest this weekend. Great event being held in Portland. The speakers and conversations I’ve had have been wonderful, but more than anything it has been so great to meet and get to know people I only previously knew through Twitter. For all the weird looks I get when I carry around and wear a helmet, it paid off yesterday. I took a pretty good spill on 5th Street in downtown Portland yesterday. My head was rattled pretty good, but I would have been unconscious without a helmet. Blogs How not to lead worship.
