boys weekend...

well hi. it has certainly been a while... too long actually. What a weekend so far. Well it is a boys weekend for sure. Jill and John are away with some of the SMYDEKKERS in OC for the ALIVE conference, so here I am. In Frederick. All alone. Or am I?
I have made the best of it for sure.
It all started last night... I picked up two of my young friends (jake and michael P) and we headed to W2's house for a delectable dinner and then on to the play at LHS! Our Town, an excellent show, and all those involved did a marvelous job. After 2+ hours, the theatre started getting hot, but not to worry, it was almost over and we were off to historic downtown frederick for a night of laughter, boardgames and overall good time fun. We brought out the old school LIFE boardgame -- Josh came out victorious around 2 am and we headed off to bed!
Up at 7!!! ready to tackle another day! It was SHARE ministry saturday, so we headed to meet Jesse at McDonalds for some nourishment and then off to the Tate's to prepare the SHARE meals. These guys really seem to enjoy the time in ministry, handing out the meals and praying with those in need.
After handing off the Share meals, we always stop at this little park and play around on the playground, today was no exception. We play on the swings, teeter-totters, run up this huge hill... Its a lot of fun running around. It's a lot like recess! you remember recess... I so miss recess.
So, it's been a good weekend so far. Filled with good fellowship and activities, sprinkled in with some service!
But it's not over yet! I am very much looking forward to worship tomorrow and seeing what God is going to do there. You know, we should never have an ordinary worship service. If we are truly worshipping God in spirit and truth, He will meet us there... and being in the presence of a Holy God should cause us to fall down and worship Him more. If we truly seek Him, we will find Him and He will change us!!! Here's to entering worship tommorrow expecting God to show up and show us great things!

007 tonight. If you're interested, let me know.

Until later...

YO-HOHO'S Better late than never!

Aye! beautiful people! Good morning to you. Yahoo.

Many of you love the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and have seen the second installment, 'Dead Man's Chest'. Some have even seen this movie twice... you either know a good movie when you see one or maybe just have a healthy obsession with Johnny Depp... either way, it's cool and you know which category applies.

Well, until yesterday, I had not seen this great cinematic feature and felt lost when anyone would speak of it! NO MORE I SAY! (in my best pirate voice) I have seen the dead mans chest, and it was full of heart! haha.

What a great follow up to the original... this movie has everything. Comedy, Action, Drama, some good ole piratin', and even a huge octopus! Google.

I have finally seen Pirates 2 and it was great! It met all the expectations and hype generated over several months of anticipation. Anyone interested in viewing it again, let me know... it's still at the $2.99 theatre for another week or so. aol search.

There was an interesting fellow there who had seen this "4 or 5" times... how could you lose track?

Question: When is Pirates 3?

Today's events: NO work, John and I are taking advantage of this unseasonably warm weather to hit the links! great day a comin'!

I voted!

Yes, I did... and I voted well. But that's not the most important thing I did today! What is you ask? Well, I'll tell you. Right here. Right now.

I approached the throne of God this morning. How did you do that Davey? I'm glad you asked. I apporached the throne of our Creator this morning by speaking with Him! How awesome is the priveledge that is provided for us through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? When I begin to think about that, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that God wants to communicate with me. I am praying to GOD! The living God, Holy God, the creator of heaven and earth...

The greatest thing is... we can do this anytime, anywhere. In fact, He wants us to!

Communication is vital to every relationship, including our relationship with God. Prayer is a conversation between friends, a father and child, a Savior and a sinner. We can tell him everything, anything... and why not? He already knows us better than anyone else!

I encourage us to embrace the opportunity we have everyday to communicate with our Holy God. God desires a closer relationship with us and that requires us to be real as we meet with Him. He desires honesty and a life yielded to His will. He wants to use us... that is amazing.

Let's pray honestly. Let's run the race. Let's grow in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be Blessed.

Too Cold to Golf... Winter is coming.

Well first of all, let me welcome myself to the world of Bloggers. Welcome Davis. Thank you. Being that this is my first blog entry, i'll keep it short and sweet.
My friend Eric and I were planning on golfing today. Sadly, we determined after stepping outside that it was too cold to golf... So, Eric (big gaums) and I are going to hit the mean streets of downtown frederick with our beautiful wives for some lunch and shopping. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the ladies... but this means one thing. Golf is over for the year. :( Oh yeah and another thing... shopping isn't all that great either...

More to come...
