Collaboration of the Weekend

Well i dont know if you know this... but i love, love, LOVE the weekends.  It is a time of relaxing and just being at ease... it is wonderfully beautiful.  I mean it isn't like i am telling most of you anything new, i just wanted to throw this little opener in here.

Well my Friday night was a blast, started out with no plans, then i got a few and decided on the one where i could help my friend with the houseboat.  He got this houseboat two years ago i think and we have been fixing up little things here and there ever since.  The inside is 95% done and looks great, the outside on the other hand, not so much.  So let me tell you a story.

One of my friends commented on our buddies houseboat saying, "I really want to have a Halloween party and have it on the houseboat, i mean it isn't like we would have to change the outside because it is all ready scary enough."  So our friend, Scott Thom took that to heart.  I mean the outside of the boat isn't that bad but it could be spruced up so for the past week or so we have been fixing it up.  We painted the outside, did the trim around the windows and just about finished putting down the carpet tonight.  All of these projects have spanned a few weeks obviously but it is coming together swimmingly well.

Well Saturday as we woke up from our work night on the houseboat, my friend Luke and i met my brother at Dick's Sporting Good's and after not finding a pair of rainbows that fit, we went to look for a shirt for my brother. (haha) :)  So we went into Surftown and i saw the pair of rainbows that i thought would fit, and guess what, because of my fat feet, they didn't come close.  So we went back over to Dick's and got the first pair of rainbows that i thought could have been a little too big.  I love my brother for this belated birthday present.  So i eventually went home and rocked it out watching the movie Children of Men.  It was ok, nothing to write home about though, i mean if i didn't have this blog, i really wouldn't have mentioned it.

But Sunday... ewwww today was a blessing.  I was given the honor of playing hand percussion for North Metro for the main service upstairs in their theater.  It is a smaller and more personal venue.  But God rocked this morning.  Honestly every time i play i am constantly praying to just stop worrying about playing wrong things, or messing up, or to focus on worship not impressing others.  I mean God has blessed me greatly with this talent, and i am humbled by it.  I just get sooo nervous but God has comforted me with words of affirmation which i hold sooo soo dear, (They are one of my love languages).  Well that is all for now, I know Sunday was rushed but besides chicken and alfredo with the Thoms for lunch and then chicken and cheese quesadillas for dinner.  I am just resting peacefully, on my deck relaxing in this amazing windy and cloudy night that God has so beautifully and wonderfully made, waiting to watching Pushing Daisies with my Moo Moo.  Love that show.
