Where to Eat

I have not been eating much fast food lately, with the Biggest Loser deal going on. But I would still call myself a fast food expert and consider this little chart helpful when deciding where to eat.

Many of you will be on the road this week traveling, print out this guide and it should solve any arguments about where to stop and get a meal.

Powerful Message

I really appreciate our teaching team at Fellowship Memphis, and I don’t do this too often, but this week I have to…..

You have to listen or watch this past Sunday’s message.  It was really powerful.

A little context, this was the first message in a new series going through the Sermon on the Mount. Bryan Loritts our lead pastor gave the message.

Obviously if you go to Fellowship, this message will be great for context and helping you dive deep into this 20 week mini series inside of our year long series on the Gospel, but even if you don’t go to Fellowship or don’t even like the church, this is just one of those life messages people need to hear.

You can currently stream the audio on-line, the video should be up by tomorrow.  You can also podcast everything we do on iTunes by searching “Fellowship Memphis”

Google Wave

Just got my invite to Google Wave this weekend. Excited to jump on, but it already seems like I don’t know 5% of how to maximize this technology.

Found a free on-line book via Herman that I plan to check out this week.

Anybody got some good tricks and tips for Wave already?

Just Once I Wish I Could…

Just once I wish I could dunk on someone like this…

I use to dunk like that on my little sisters in my bed room on my nerf goal. Oh the glory days!

Pray for a Hundred Million Dollars

Next Wednesday the Gates Foundation will announce which school district they will be awarding $100 million dollars to. Memphis is one of four finalist.

Hillsborough, Florida, the city of Pittsburg, and a group of Charter Schools in Los Angeles are rallying prayers, hopeful wishes, and good karma as well.

Obviously it is exciting that the Gates family would decide to invest so much money into the education system. And I know for a fact, that just being a finalist has made the Memphis City School system better. To be considered and keep making cuts, certain steps had to be taken. Those steps are positive ones that will hopefully carry forward whether Memphis is awarded the funding or not.

As a resident of Memphis and likely a father of a MCS student next fall, I am obviously biased in my prayers.

I am sure each of the 4 finalist need the investment, I just hope it comes our way.

Dad & Son Take a Hike

Went with the family to the mountains this past weekend.

This is one of my favorite photos from the trip. Maybe one day we will actually hike a few miles on the trail.
