We are the champions!

Yesterday was the big day of the Huntsville sprint triathalon. This years experience was much better then last year, largely due to the fact that we had a team of 12 from Summit doing the race with us! The heat and humidity were enough to drop a cow to it's knees, but not us! I did think that Paul was going to die in the pool, but we all managed to finish with respectable times. Afterward, a few of us went to ihop where we immediately gained back the weight that we had lost during the tri.

We already got a few more recruits for next years team, probably due to how cool we all looked sporting our Summit Crossing Trathalon Team t-shirts this morning at church :-)

Below are a few pics from the race. The rest can be found here.

I think you're all nuts! Running any distance further than the couch to the bathroom is just plain crazy (and I even tried to put a toilet in the living room to cut that down). It's insane I tell you! Then after running that far, they make you walk the plank and swim. As if that wasn't enough

....hold on...i'm getting tired from typing.... ok..no..wait...
ok...let me catch my breath...
where was I...

As if that wasn't enough they hand you a bike, without a motor, and say pedal to the finish! Well I guess it's all worth for the one of lifes greatest lessons....

She went Skyyyyydivin.....

I took Annie skydiving on Saturday for her birthday. Rather then trying to explain the experience, you can watch it here: Saturday we kicked it old school with a small group slumber party. A little Balderdash, a few Saved By The Bell episodes, lots of candy and cake, and a few rip roarin games of Pit. It was like we were in junior high again, except with a few less zits. I will post some pics from that another day.

some thoughts before bedtime

I went to a retreat this weekend with about 40 of the men from Summit. The first night there, I had a discussion with a guy about Jesus and “social justice”. I really don’t know how we got on to this subject, but he went into what I would describe as a rant about how Jesus never called us to social action. I don’t know him and had never met him before that evening, but something about his tone and the heart behind what he was saying really bothered me. The rest of the evening I couldn’t get this conversation off my mind. It just seemed like a ludicrous point to make. Was he trying to make excuses for not getting out of his bubble to server others? Am I just as bad as this guy? Earlier that day I had read an article about the International Justice Mission in Relevant. The guy who started it, Gary Haugen, got his Law degree from Harvard and then decided to start IJM. He did so after he had heard all these storied from Christian missionaries who would come back and tell of all the atroci...

There was no way around it, no place to hide. 30 was coming and there was nothing I could do about it. Slowly it creped up on me over 12 months, and now it is here. I am 30 years old. I sure as heck didn't let it take me without a fight! Wed night, Annie surprised me with a turtle pie during small group. She definately knows how to get straight to my heart. Thursday, I took the day off of work! I was able to catch up on some compilations I have been working on forever, wrote some music, drank several cups of coffee, went thrifting, watched Steve's keynote at Macworld, etc. Thursday night, Annie and I went to Pucket (awesome Thai place) followed by VIP seats at Monico. No one under the age of 21 was allowed in the theatre! Good times had by all. Friday night, I had 12 guys over to play video games. We had 2 projectors (Wii, Gamecube), 2 TVs, a Genesis, an Atari, some Guitar Hero, a little Sam Adams, and some Chicken Mariachi from Denatos. I schooled Geoff in some NHL '94, wh...
