I took my mustache on the road!

Before the mustache contest came to a close my lovely wife and I decided we should take my mustache on the road and let it see the world before it met a decidedly sharp and painful end.
So we hopped in a rental car and took it to St. Louis


A picture of the 3 of us...Nicky, me and my mustacheMy mustache saw the sights


And even met celebrities (that's Jar's of Clay mere metres away from my mustache!)
That's David Crowder's back! (You probably don't even know who he is)

Here is a picture of David Crowder on the big screen...we (my mustache and I) never got to see him for real from the front.
Much of the trip was filled with frivolity, but...
Some of it stunk.Sometimes people even made fun of me, and laughed and called me names

But overall it was well worth it

When it came down to judging the contest I wound up finishing second in the contest to the fellow sitting next to me, but I believe shaving your head bald (did you have to shave? or is it natural?) and growing handlebars is sort of like cheating! Doesn't really matter though, because my mustache and I, we enjoyed ourselves.

mustache man, I love you. I have been growing mine for about 2 weeks now. I have just begun to take myself seriously with it. I will send you pics when it get's good and full.

I went to David Lee Roth and Van Halen tonight.

Trey, that's awesome! I love the stache. Too bad it's gone now..

You should grow a winter beard. I think that would be swell!

PS. I know who David Crowder is! Puhleease!

Thanks Cal, I appreciate the advertising.

Phil, can't wait to see the stache. I would guess you would fit in at the David Lee Roth and Van Halen concert with a mustache. Did you get in for free?

I do like to grow a winter beard...I think I will yet, but I will wait a while, to get in the good books with Nicky.

"Christian" Music

The whole idea of "Christian" music has bothered me lately. There is this whole industry that exists to produce and sell "Christian" music. It's as if the music itself could be Christian...I am pretty sure that music itself does not have a soul (well OK there is Soul music, but c'mon!). I prefer to think that music is just music, sometimes Christians play it, sing it or write it. What if Christians did not have the advantage of having Christian labels producing their music, or Christian radio stations playing their music and Christian book stores selling their music? I think it would be wonderful...I think there would be more "Christian" music on secular radio stations and in regular music stores. There would be Christian artists who are more prepared to be honest about their faith. There would be people outside the Christian circles who might be exposed to some good Christian artists (I think there are a couple of those!?). I think this would make...

Broken Hand - And I didn't even hit anyone!

I have been absent from posting for a few weeks mostly for one reason. I broke my hand. I know, I know it is possible to type with one hand...but I found it incredibly frustrating to do so, I can't stand hunting and pecking! Especially with my left hand. How did I injure my hand? I am glad you asked, since I have only told the story about 1000 times in the last two weeks, so you are lucky number 1001. I was in Pinawa at some natural waterslides close to the old Pinawa Dam(n!). I was there with a bunch of youth leaders as part of a leadership retreat that we were doing. We were having a great time going down the rapids on the (relatively?!) smooth rocks for about 45 minutes. My friend Jason and I decided that it would be a great idea to go down on a tube, together. My friend Matt held the tube for us as we got on and released us down the rapids (I mention names here because there is a pending lawsuit, and I am still not sure who is at fault...Jason for rolling off the tube ...

Jesus was 33 When he Was Crucified

Our Sr. Pastor mentioned in his sermon a while back that Jesus was 33 when he died.  I guess it struck a real cord with me because I am still thinking about it, I guess the fact that I am 34 has something to do with it.  I wonder at the things he accomplished, things that have had some staying power ( 2.1 Billion people claim to be his follower).   This has stirred me to reflect on my life, what have I accomplished in my 34 years? As I think about that I realize that the things that I pursue as "great things" are not very much like what Jesus considered to be great.  Jesus didn't start any programs, he only spoke to crowds that gathered around him naturally (he didn't do any advertising).  Jesus wasn't a dynamic personality, people were drawn to him because of who he was, not because he was a great leader, or a powerful person.  The only group he formed was a group that just kind of wandered around with him seemingly aimlessly.  He avoided crowds, had a quiet per...
