If you got to do one thing everyday for the next 15 years, what would it be?
Mine would be to non-challantly dunk on people larger than me. Everyday.
But in all seriousness, I think mine would be to play some sort of sport every day. If I were able to write it up, I would do some sort of physical activity everyday.

What if instead of baseball cards, we started trading around worship leader cards?
That would be funny, eh? (Note: I’m trying to begin to get readers from Canada, so I added “eh”. No hits from there yet…).
Would you trade two Matt Redman’s for one David Crowder? What if you got the whole band, not just the dude with the funny beard?
Would Darlene Zschech be worth more money than Israel Houghton? She goes all the way back to “Shout to the Lord”. That’s some serious credibility there.
What if Christians did something this crazy? What would you do? How would you respond?
This would be almost as tragic as Jesus tracts. Or bullhorns.

As most of my followers know, I recently went on a cruise through the Western Caribbean. It was the most incredible trip of my life! My grandma decided to take 21 of us in my extended family and I cannot even come close to finding the words to thank her. Also, my parents payed for a good bit of the expenses and so they deserve a huge thank you as well. We went to Haiti, Grand Cayman Island, Jamaica, and Mexico. I had not been to any of these places other than Mexico a couple of times on mission trips where we built houses for the homeless. A much different trip and needed getaway.
What you are probably most interested in is the karaoke that took place. It was hilarious! I’ve been getting notes from all kinds of people on facebook about it. Before the trip, I did not know my cousins all that well as I only saw them once a year for a couple days at Christmas. We always got along great, but just didn’t know each other since we had not spent time together. However, after living in a tiny, messy space together for the week, we found out that we all love weird, indie music, goofing off, and similar takes on God. We never planned on doing karaoke, but some of my aunts and uncles encouraged us to do it, so we tried it out. Everyone before us simply stood there without moving and just stared at the screen. We thought that was pretty boring so we wanted to step it up a little bit. I’ll let the videos speak for themselves…
N*SYNC “BYE BYE BYE” (My personal favorite that we were asked to re-perform below)
CHRISTINA AGUILERA “ALL I WANT IS YOU”
We performed a total of 6 songs, which I think is a bit much to post, but hopefully you got a great laugh out of that! I know my family definitely did and it was fun to liven up the party a lot more.
Below here is the “Flowrider”. This shot 600 gallons of water per minute at you while you either surfed or body boarded. This is on the boat! In the middle of the ocean! In the pictures below, you can begin to see that the boat looks more like a floating Hilton Hotel than a boat.

Many of my friends have seen this as a group on my facebook page, but I thought I would post it here. I was joking around with my pastor about how I was leaving our church to go to Joel Osteen’s church. Of course I was completely joking, but it expanded into us joking a lot with each other. If you don’t know about Joel Osteen, he is arguably the most influential Evangelical Christian on the planet, which is extremely unfortunate. Now if you remember my last post, it talked about my grace for people who I think are somewhat off the mark. However, Joel Osteen simply preaches that having a positive attitude will change your course in life and then randomly throws some Bible verses (that are of course out of context) in there. A lot of what he says is true, and I think that positive energy is great. However, Osteen claims that all paths can lead to heaven (see John 14:6) and never talks about hell. Now I appreciate that Osteen is not out there trying to scare people into salvation, Read More »
