This weekend was pretty sweet. Tonya and I hung out at Carolina Beach with the incredible Brinkley family. Bill and Amy have been incredible friends and partners in our college and student ministry here at the church. It is weekends like the past one that leave me amazed at how incredible God is and how fortunate I am to have been so blessed by His hands. I am looking forward to this wednesday night because we will be wrapping up the Text Me series which has been great. Hearing from our students on the issues that they want to know about has a great way to reach directly into the hearts and minds of our students. Alex our video guru did an awesome job with the bump for the website. check it!

Now now Joseph Allen, I do believe I watched you grow up in the same house for 13 years, but I have not had the oppurtunity to see your lovely new home. I would love to see it. Maybe I’ll stop by one night telling Tripp it’s time to come home. haha.

MUTEMATH
Joey
If you didn’t already know one of my all time favorite bands is a little band out of New Orleans, Louisiana called Mute Math. This is one of the most creative bands making music today. If you ever get the chance to see them live they are worth every penny. Right now they have bought a house and are recording a new album set to be released Spring 2009. As they are recording they are filming the process and releasing small bits of it online via youtube. Outside the fact that they are ALL amazing musicians the one that stands out to me is the drummer Darren King. His technical playing is beyond most drummers replication/comprehension. Watching him play live left me sitting with my mouth hanging wide open. The video below is incredible. I hope you like!

On the way to Catalyst Conference
Joey
So right about Now I am in a van headed to the big city of Atlanta. Once a year for the past five years I have gone to what I believe to be one of the greatest leadership conferences of our time, Catalyst. Every year nearly 12000 church leaders from all over the united states come to this one event. This year is really special because the entire church staff of Scotts Hill is going. I am really excited to see what God is going to do over the next three days. Right now though I am in van, driving in the rain. But excitment and experience are right around the corner!!

itunes and kure beach
Joey
First I want to start with saying that I am loving the new Itunes 8. The layout didn’t change much just made it cleaner and easier to use. Menus are easier to access so you can adjust settings for things such as burning without going through the preferences menu. Most of all I am enjoying the “Genius” feature. I have been a big fan of Pandora Radio and this is the next best thing for sure. If you’re not familiar with “Genius” it is a feature that allows you to pick a song in your playlist and it will find other songs in your music library that sound similar and put them in a playlist mix for you. This update also configures with your ipod and iphone so that Genius goes with you. Also it looks for music you haven’t purchased that you may like to buy from the itunes store. Introducing you to new artists that play the styles you love.
I am getting ready to leave for Kure Beach with our college students. I am really excited about this weekend and I know God has some great things in store for us. Stuart Hall will be flying in tonight to hang out with us over the weekend and challenge us with God’s word. My prayer has been that God will get us to a point of uncomfortable realization. An uncomfortable reality of self that shows our distance from God and the areas of our lives that we need to draw closer to Him. Be in prayer for our college students this weekend. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to us in a way that leaves us focused on following God.

Brey!
So I love pandora!
Use it ALL THE TIME!
haha.
-It’s better than that itunes thingy for sure.Have fun in Kure Beach!
