Watch out on the road!

State Farm ranks the most dangerous intersections in the nation based on number of accidents per year. As it turns out, number 8 on the list is right down the street from me. Have fun.

Sad day for YS

Well, the Youth Specialties Convention was amazing. A great time for renewal and excitment. I saw some great bands, was led in great worship experiences, and saw a good group of speakers.

Today, though, I was told about the death of Mike Yaconelli, the owner of Youth Specialties. Adam Griffin told me about it this afternoon. He read it off of Relevant Magazine this morning.

Apparently Mike was killed in a car accident last night. No other details and no mention on the YS homepage yet, but I'm sure it's to come. Mike was also a volunteer pastor at Grace Community Church in Yreka, California. Peace be to the church and his family. The little I know of this man was that he had a passion for Jesus Christ and the youth workers that preach his Gospel. His intentions for starting YS were to give youth workers the resources they need to effectively communicate God's truth to kids. I've heard few things as humble and selfless as when Mike stood at the YS convention and said if there was something YS had that we needed and couldn't afford, to simply call him, and he'd send it out. All this comes from a guy who didn't even know Mike. . . .I can only imagine the words that will come from those who did.

Been Awhile

Well I know it's been some time since my last post, and for that I apologize. Everyone gives me lip about long posts anyway, so I'm sure you needed the time to get caught up.

Tommorow I'm heading to North Carolina for the Youth Specialties National Youth Workers Convention. I'm excited to be able to go, and I'm ready for a good vacation. (Although this counts as work, so I guess I should try to not have so much fun.) I'll let you know how it was when I get back.
This is also the first time I've flown on a plane since 9.11 so I can't lie, I'm a little antsy. I think I'll tape a plastic knife on my leg just in case the guy next to me goes crazy, I'll at least have a chance. (Just kidding FBI man) Hey, gotta cover my bases, that patriot act is hardcore.

We had our Fantasy Basketball Draft last night. I'm feeling good about how things went. It was a good practice run for another league I'm doing. This is how my draft turned out:
-Shawn Marion
-Steve Francis
-Shareef Abdur-Rahim
-Jamal Mashburn
-Zydrunas Ilgauskas
-Wally Szczerbiak
-Bonzi Wells
-Juwan Howard
-Eric Snow
-Vlade Divac
-Alvin Williams
-Emanuel Ginobili
-Carlos Boozer
-Anthony Peeler
-Speedy Claxton

So we'll see how the action goes down this year. Needless to say, The Inside Presence will dominate once again.

-Peace-

The Genius in this world continues to astound me

I had no idea tanning increased the risk of skin cancer. . . . . wow, who would have thought?

This is a good one

What a toolbag, check out what this idiot did in his New York City apartment.

I wonder what the pet deposit was for this complex. . . . . .

What a let-down

I just got back from Guitar Center where I was planning on entering their Drum-Off for the third year in a row. It seems they moved the dates back and it's pretty much already over. I know it's my fault for not checking the dates earlier, but that just sucks. So, it seems I'll have to wait another year to be famous. . . . .
