VACATION! Yes I am now on vacation visiting my Mother, Sister, and Nephew out in MI.
Saturday - This was a travel/Driving Day. Not very eventful.
Sunday - We stared the week off right with church in the morning (even though we were very late) In the afternoon Pat, Gabriel, and I set off to take a dirt road driving tour that someone had posted on the internet. After that we headded off to the west coast of MI to find the roomered musical fountian of Grand Haven. And a very beutiful fountian it is. Just after sundown everynight it plays Hymns and while displaying a water and light show. The fountin then continues silently on till about midnight. On the way back we stopped in the middle of nowhere to set off some fireworks.


Monday - This was Detroit Day. We went to the Detroit Science Center, Rode the people mover, Ate at the Greektown Casino, then walked down to and along the waterfront.


Tuesday - Pat had to work and since where she works has a pool Gabriel and I went swimming.


Wednesday - We spent the day at the Four Bears water-park. Then we went to the Ford & Wyoming Drive-in. A very large driving with many screens. We saw "The Hulk" which I didn't like. ( and didn't expect to) and "Bruce Almighty" which I highly recommend . It is both funny and has a positive message that is theologicly accurate. My favorite line is when God first pages him and he looks at the number and comments "Don't know ya and wouldn't call ya if I did." Which is funny and sad because it is true of many people that the Lord is trying to page.


Thursday - Today I spent on the house. We went and got a new Craftsman lawn mower, cut the grass, trimmed the bushes, and cleaned the gutters. In the evening I went out to Goth night at the Star bar where I played some pool, enjoyed the music, and had some Diet Cokes. Luckaly the most disterbing behavior didn't start untill I was getting tired and ready to leave anyway.

Friday (Independance day) - We went to the Kellogs Air-show festival for the fourth. In addition to the Air-show they have a carnaval, balloon launch (been twice and cancled twice due to wind) and the best firewooks show to be found in MI.


Saturday - A Free Boston Concert! Patty had some free Lawn tickets to the Boston Concert at the DTE music center. Funny thing though... I was lying on the grass listening to the music and starring at the sky thinking about how blessed the week was and that it was nice of God to bless me like this. Then I thought "wait a second, Maybe it is patty he is blessing and has his favor after all She is living in the nice house I bought and I am living in a shack." No sooner then I thought this then a Good-ole Michagan boy leaned over my face and screamed 'GREAT CONCERT HUH! WHOOO HOOO' and sat down right next to me with his other drunk friends. To which I thought.... "Ok God, your very funny"

Since my last posting, my video card did in fact die and at the first financial opportunity I replaced it with an even better VIVO card. Although I have yet to get this new card to record video my Fallout game is still uncorrupted!

It happened again! Just this past weekend the church came out to help with the house and this time we got all of the sheetrock up on the ceilings!!! Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures this time. Sorry. This means that everything that needed sheetrock is done and I / We can focus on just spackling and painting next.

Drive-In Excursion! I also got a chance to visit the drive-in and see "2 Fast 2 Furious" with my friend Dorothy. I was going to go alone because I was planning to go mid-week but when I mentioned it to her online she volunteered to come with. Drive-In's are always best with friends. We took the scenic route and arrived early enough to do an impromptu study of the first too chapters of the book of James. A real blessing.

Coming up next. Next week I am on vacation and off to MI to visit my Mother & Sister. The current plan is for me to go out their for a week them bring them all back to NJ for a week. So things might get interesting.

Well the latest set of news is Memorial Day (weekend) was full of picnics including an unexpected DDial reunion picnic where I ran into old acquaintances Storm and Datastream. I guess the rain kept most others away. This of course prompted me to take a short walk down memory lane and post some old pictures from that period of my life in the photos area. The following Wednesday my previous church New Life Christian Fellowship finally closed it's doors for good. I was with that church almost from the beginning and even though the Lord had me become involved with Resurrection fellowship I also had stayed with them until that final vote. I have now been a part of 3 young start up churches and have watched the fist grow Hugh the second start grown and now die and am at the beginning again with yet another. Ironically in the same building that the one that just ended had began in. Last weekend we rather uneventful and I am now up to the secret military base of Naverone in Fallout 2. This is the farthest I have ever gotten in the game. I may actually get to finish it. But I shouldn't speak too quickly because my Video card is having a lot of trouble and causing my system to reboot. Well, that’s the news for now.
