We Love Our Community!

The men and women of our church hosted an Easter Egg Hunt and invited the community! We do almost zero advertising (other than facebook and a banner in front of our church) and still attract about 300-400 people for the event!

We provide hot dogs, drinks, face-painting, games, crafts, and about 15,000 candy stuffed Easter eggs! And we do it all for FREE! Of course, it's not really free, it was paid for and provided by the wonderful family of believers we call "Life Fellowship!"

Having a little fun with iMovie...

I was doing a little video editing when I had a silly thought.

Here's the result:

I don't know why, but it's funnier every time I replay it!

(Fortunately, Melissa's a great sport!)

Ha! This is a weird feeling!

So, I found myself on YouTube.

This is the pre-game, homecoming crowning from 1987.

Alhambra High School, CA.

This video was obviously intended to highlight

the homecoming court... but I'm in the video!

Look for me at about 4:30 - 4:45 or so... and again from 5:04 - 5:08!

That's me, the drum major, walking backwards,

with the trumpet tucked under my arm, on the 50 yard line.

(Don't listen to the music at the end,

I'm sure there was something wrong with the audio...)

Oh, and congrats to our homecoming queen too!

HaHaHa!!! This is too funny! (And I was so skinny)...

Flashing Blue Lights in the Rear View Mirror...

I had an amazing thing happen to me. Blue lights flashed in my rear view mirror. I got pulled over.

"Driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance, please. I pulled you over because your inspection sticker is four months overdue. I'll be right back."

Well, this was actually the second time in my 25 years of driving I had been pulled over for this particular offense... and I knew it was going to be expensive.

"I'm going to let you off with a warning. Your record is clean, and I don't want to mess it up. Just get your inspection sticker taken care of, and have a nice day."

What?! Kindness? Compassion? Does it really still exist?!? It did today.

So thank you, Mr. Police Officer, for your act of kindness and compassion!

So I immediately started looking for a "brake tag" service station!

The first one I came across, I pulled into the driveway, and a friendly, grease covered young man smiled and waved me in.

"Flash your high beams! Now beep your horn! Turn signals! Brake lights! Reverse lights! Windshield wipers! Ok take this inside!"

I paid my $10, and complimented the young man. "You don't mess around, do you?"

"No sir!" he said with a grin...

"I saw your red sticker from last year, and knew exactly what you were here for!"

He scraped off my old sticker, and slapped my new one in place, carefully wiping the scratchings from the old sticker off my windshield and dash.

"This is my day!" I thought, as I reached into my wallet and pulled out a $5 bill.

"Put this in your pocket. Great job!"

He grinned. And on my way I went... all in under 5 minutes.

"Where do you find service like that, anymore?" I thought out loud. I did today!

So, kudos to you young man. I have a feeling you'll do very well in life...

It was an amazing afternoon. Or maybe I'm just easily impressed.
