Wanna Chat?

Greetings Faithful Readers...

Have you watched FRC's TV show lately? Ian is doing an incredible job on the production every single week! I will always have a place in my heart for the TV ministry of Flamingo...I was blessed to be the first to create shows for it...and God has used the current media team to take it to a whole other level.

It is then that Pastor Troy takes it up another notch.... www.troygramling.com

Yep...we kicked it off last week. There is now a chat room where people that are watching the TV show can go and talk about what they are experiencing in real time. I am moderating the room with a few members of my team and it is going well! Last week, nearly half of those that were chatting went over to experience the live service at 11:00AM right after the 10:30AM TV experience.

Real community. Real life-change.

What an honor to be a part of it.

Wall-E Review (No Spoilers)

Greetings Faithful Readers,

Went to see Pixar's newest movie, Wall-E, yesterday and wanted to give you my quick review...

Go see it.

Now for the slighly longer one... Wall-E is an amazingly animated and touching movie.  At its heart it is a love story...but covers such topics as the environment, corporate mentality, and technology gone awry.  I won't spoil anything for you, but Apple fans will definitely recognize several sights (and sounds) from products that they love.  I will tell you that there are no actual lines of dialogue for the first 30 minutes of the film...and you won't care.  The wonderful storytelling of this movie supersedes any awkwardness that "no spoken lines" might bring on.  Oh, and one of the main characters is a cockroach.

Go see this movie.  Bring the kids...they'll love the robots...  and you?  You'll love the heart.

Bass in Your Face

Greetings Faithful Readers,

Another video post...but I just had to. This Victor Wooten bass solo nearly made me wet my pants. If you are a bass player or just merely a musician...please watch this clip. It will add two years to your life and might possibly cure that nagging pain in your back...

Enjoy!

A Classy Thing to Do

Greetings Faithful Readers...

Just finished watching this clip:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeD62glbyM&hl=en]

This is the return of Bill Buckner to Boston for the first time. He threw out the first pitch on Wednesday after the Red Sox received their 2007 World Series rings. Why is this special?

Bill was the one who let the ball slip under his legs while playing first base during the 1986 World Series. If he would have made that play, the Red Sox could have won the game and gone on to win the series. People in Boston hated him for a long, long time...they accused him of extending the Red Sox curse. He became the symbol of shame for a city looking for a scapegoat.  One mistake had overshadowed an otherwise stellar career.

If you watch the video, you will see him wipe his eyes due to the emotion of the moment. You really just feel like this guy is finally able to get past that moment in his life.

Have you ever made a mistake that you just can't seem to get past? Sometimes it's others that won't let you...sometimes it's you that won't let you forget. Have you ever wished that you could go back and fix your mistake...tell the you back then not to do it?

Christ came so that you can get back onto the field. If you are a Christ-follower, don't shed tears of regret..but tears of joy that you have been forgiven for sins long since committed. Allow yourself to hear the applause of those appreciating the you of today and not the boos from the voices of your past.

Congrats Bill Buckner...Soak in that 5 minute standing ovation....

This Video is Del.icio.us

Greetings Faithful Reader,

The other day, my wife asked me what Del.icio.us was. Curious myself, I looked it up and discovered this very good video talking about social bookmarking. Sounds dull...but really is cool Web 2.0 stuff.

Get Your 80s On

Greetings Faithful Readers,

Thanks for all the comments. As your reward...I present to you a cheesy 80s video. Complete with fake blood, zombies, and bad hair.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD21JDMp86c]

Kudos to all who got the Rockwell reference. If you look up this song on iTunes, you will notice that it has been covered by a few bands. Most notably, a group called "Fuller". Where have I heard that name before?

BV

PS: The word "hell" is in the video. Of course, it is referring to the place and not the quasi-swear word. Seriously.

My Friday Night

Greetings Faithful Readers...

I bet you're all wondering how the Vasils spend our Friday nights...

Brianna and I just spent the last few minutes singing this song together. It's from our favorite cartoon to watch together, Phineas and Ferb.
