New Video Posted!

Yesterday I posted my latest video on youtube. It was the second video in the Trojanpear's Book Club series. This time I review The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It is a shorter video and a more basic review than my last video on the Bunnicula series. I did this book at this time because of the Easter holiday and felt that this would be appropriate since I have already been working on this book. I hint at the end of the video that my next book review will be on a series of four books that was originally a trilogy, but was so long that the series had to expand to a fourth book. The last book itself is a really long book. What is the series? Let me know what you think.

Easter, Work, and Other Events


This has been a busy week for me. This is mostly due to work where I have had to deliver mail on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week. Monday I delivered route 11 which is part of Veteran's Parkway, Old Moon Road, and Moon Road. Tuesday I delivered my regular route 6 which is Columbus Park Crossing, North Stadium Drive, and Arbor Ridge. I did it again Saturday. Wednesday I delivered express mail to the 31909 section. Thursday I delivered to the block around Williams Rd, Fortson Rd, Double Churches Rd, and Lloyd Rd.
In the sports world, I have had time to watch a little of the Masters where today my guy Phil Mickelson surged his way back into contention at the Masters in what looks to be a very exciting 4th round tomorrow. The Braves lost on opening day, which was disapointing especially since they did what they always do best, fail to score runs.
Easter is almost here. As exiting as that prospect is, there have been some great events that have happened leading up to Easter Sunday. First, there was an Easter Party at the church today. Even though I was working and could not attend, I did get to see the pictures of the event and it looks like it went well. It was especially exciting to see three churches working together to make this event happen. It is like I said, its "Three churches. One mission." The night before I went to a Good Friday Service called Friday Night Fire lead by our two partner churches. I was glad that I chose to go because the Lord was at work in that building that night. I was able to see some interesting things that I needed to see from a diferent perspective. It also helped me get an idea of what our church is lacking and some of the things that I could expect to see when we begin our contemporary service later this year.
I hope and pray everyone has a great Easter Sunday. Remember why it is that we celebrate Easter, and celebrate with joy the opportunity to worship on Sunday.

Kentucky Wins!

Kentucky won the National Championship! That means my prediction was right and I just completed my best bracket of all time. Just call me the mystic messanger. :)
Now that basketball is over since Balor won the Women's Championship last night, it's time to move on to the next big event: Baseball's opening day! ... or the Masters! ... or Easter! All are happening at the same time relatively. Which event are you looking forward to most. I enjoy watching the Braves on opening day and Phil Mickelson competing at the Masters, but I always look forward to worshipping on Easter Sunday when we remember the most imoprtant day in history when Jesus rose from the dead after paying the ultimate price for our sins giving us the oppertunity to spend our eternity in heaven.

NCAA = Brilliant! NIT = Ouch :(


It has been several days since my last post and the tournament has taken two very different routes. In the NIT, Minnesota and Stanford won, and then Stanford beat Minnesota after I predicted Minnesota to win that game. Stanford won the NIT and I wrapped up my NIT by going 0-3 in the last three games going 20-11 overall with 44 points. All I can say is ouch.
The NCAA tournament is going much better for me. After getting three out of four of the teams correct in the final four, both Kentucky and Kansas won to put both of my championship game teams in the championship game for the first time ever! I went 2-0 giving me 20 more points. I have Kentucky winning it all, and their win would cap my best predicting of the NCAA tournament ever.

How has your tournament went?
