For the last seven years, RCC has hosted a community Easter egg hunt on the day before Easter. Last year was the first year we hosted it at the Rockingham Park Racetrack. There were almost 1,000 people in attendance. This year, we are hoping and praying for even more. This is an amazing "first-touch" experience … Continue reading Easter Egg Hunt 2009
March Madness 2009
Well, it's finally here -- that time when people spend more time checking scores and betting in offices than ever before. That's right, it's the NCAA March Madness. While I'm not involved in the betting side of things, I am involved in a couple friendly bracket challenges over on Facebook (through CBS Sports). Yes, I … Continue reading March Madness 2009
New England the Least Religious in the USA
Why am I here in New Hampshire? Why have I moved far away from my family? Why have I left old friends 2,000 miles away? Why do I place my trust and faith in an "unseen" God? Why do I continue to submit my life to Him and follow His calling to work in the … Continue reading New England the Least Religious in the USA
Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
I had a GREAT time this past weekend at the "Deep Freeze" retreat at Camp Berea with the students. Expect more info soon. Sunday morning, they showed this video of U2 singing the "classic" song "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" with some special guests. We all thought it was quite funny. I found it on … Continue reading Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
I love Technology
Two nights ago, I was able to "participate" in my cousin's 4th birthday party via webcam. It's crazy how far we have come in my 26 years of technology experience. I can't even imagine what will happen in the next 26 years. Sure, at times, it was more like Yvette and I were "flies on … Continue reading I love Technology
Almost Christmas 2008
(No, this is not my house. I just found it online.) Well, I wanted to let you all know that I made it safely to IL. I left a ton of snow to enter into ice and wind, but that's how it goes. On Monday, I flew from Manchester to Indianapolis (via Baltimore). My parents … Continue reading Almost Christmas 2008
Soccer Ball Kills Pigeon
I found this article last night, then I found this video on YouTube today. It's not that great of quality, but it's still pretty funny! I'm reminded of several years ago when Randy Johnson hit a bird while pitching. Some freak accident! Aguirre hit the bird in the 2-1 victory against Tigre in a three-team … Continue reading Soccer Ball Kills Pigeon
Power Outage from Ice Storm
(Photo from Associated Press) Ever wonder what it was like for the early settlers of our country? I'm sure when winter hit, they were freezing cold. How do I know this? Because a good chunk of New England is again without power. After a bad ice storm last night that lasted until early this morning, … Continue reading Power Outage from Ice Storm
Parkour and Free-Running
Have you heard of this? I just did, and I can't even start to explain how crazy it is! I'd advise you to check out the video I found on YouTube (below). For a definition, I turned to Wikipedia. Here's what they had to say about this "art form." Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) … Continue reading Parkour and Free-Running
What if Starbucks Marketed Like a Church?
This is a "modern-day parable" I found on YouTube. Of course, not all churches are like this (at least I hope not), but for those who are...please recognize the message you are sending.
