Movie Night

I checked out Kingdom of Heaven from the library last week after Andy Stanley said it was one of his favorite movies in a message he gave at Catalyst last year. After having a busy past couple weeks, I finally have a chance to watch it tonight and see if Andy and I have the same movie tastes. So far, I'm about 30 minutes into the movie and there have been some pretty crazy fight scenes. I'm not sure about the story yet and I don't know how accurate the background is, but it definitely has some potential. Also not sure I like the fact that I recognize one of the characters from Grey's Anatomy. As of now, I'd compare it to Troy with a religious twist.

Super Bowl Sunday

Tonight, our CityPlace Campus had a Super Bowl Party for the city of West Palm Beach. The idea was to put on a big party and invite the homeless of the area to come and enjoy themselves. We grilled over 600 lbs. of chicken and hundreds of people brought sides and desserts (we contributed pasta salad & cookies). There were also people at stations all around the theater where we offered haircuts, prayer, recovery & addiction assistance, and a feet washing station where people could have their feet cleaned and receive a new pair of socks. The entire night made me really proud and honored to be part of what God is doing at the CityPlace Campus of Christ Fellowship.

Farm Fresh

Saturday - I'm pretty sure we have started a new tradition for Saturday mornings - going to the Green Market in downtown West Palm Beach. We went for the second week in a row and had a great time walking around, trying samples, buying random foods, and taking pictures. Some of the people were pretty rude about taking pictures of their stuff (I should tell them I'd be giving them free advertising on my popular blog) but most of them were very nice. I was able to take this picture of these beautiful flowers and plants and decided this would serve as my picture of the day. Actually, it was difficult to pick just one picture and I went with this one because I always seem to post shots of food.

Peace Out

Last weekend, Nicole and I submitted applications to join the Peace Corps. It is a very long process and very competitive, but we completed the initial stage of completing the applications and submitting them. This week, we received informational packets in the mail with the next steps for what we do in the process of applying to join the Corps. The chances are slim that this will work out but we're trusting in God's plan for us and we're doing everything we can along the way. Above is a picture of a brochure we received and it's my picture from yesterday.

Pei Dei!

I'm a little behind on posting my pictures so I'll probably put up a few different entries today. My picture from Thursday is from Pei Wei! I've written about Pei Wei before on the blog, but I hadn't taken a good picture of it yet. We went on Thursday night to the Pei Wei in Stuart with some friends from our life group and had some delicious Chicken Pad Thai. The picture I took is from the window as you're walking in the door. I like how it turned out because the logo and text are clear, and you can see Nicole in the reflection.

Scaling Back

I've had lots of moments today where my stomach didn't feel right and I just never really felt comfortable. Having a day like today makes me realize that I need to get back to eating healthy. In 2010, my eating habits have been pretty awful (one sign of this is by looking at the pictures of food I took in the past month) and I haven't been good about exercising. I need to reacquaint myself with some healthier foods, exercising, and that little guy in the picture above. I'm not a fan of standing on the scale but I've reached a point where it's necessary.

Lost & Found!

I took this picture to celebrate one of my favorite days of the year so far - the season premiere of Lost! I don't think I've ever been so into a show and I'm sure this season will probably lead to more questions than answers, but I don't care. I've been glued to the TV for the two hour premiere and I already have no idea what direction the writers are going in with this season. Whatever they do, they've got me hooked.
