    Saturday TunesAh, the weekend. After a fairly stressful start to my week we hit Thursday and coasted. Lots of good stuff happened this week. Lots of stuff accomplished. But it was a front-loaded week and it felt good to have a couple easy days.

    Last night I went with Chris, a staffer at Harbor, over to Rock Church for a thing on the economy and social justice. I don’t know that I really learned anything new about what has happened and what is happening with our nations finances, but it was very good to see a church educating its people about what it all means for them and what they can do.

    Today is a normal Saturday. Kristen is off to climb Cowles Mountain while I hang with the kids. Later, we’ll take Stoney to the beach. Kristen and Paul already have in a request for Chinese food for lunch… so I guess it’s that and then more fun the rest of the weekend. I’m already looking forward to going to the beach Sunday afternoon.

    Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to this morning. As usual, these are completely random and my ratings are included.

    #1 Say When by The Fray *****

    #2 Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches ****

    #3 A King a Kingdom by Derek Webb ****

    #4 O Worship The King by Chris Tomlin ***

    #5 Marvelous Light by Kristian Stanfill **

    #7 A Kiss to Build a Dream on by Louis Armstrong ****

    #8 Take My Breath Away by Berlin ****

    #9 Stardust by Nat King Cole ****

    Late December. No mans land for all things blog heavy! I have lots of heavy thoughts floating around that will be fantastic blog posts one day. But the simple reality is that it’s a good time to just chill out and not try to change the world too much this time of year. Truth is, had Luther posted his 95 Thesis in the week between Christmas and New Years the movement now known as Protestantism would have never gotten off the ground.

    Nice weather returns to San Diego today. With that in mind, Kristen and I are hoping to take the kids to the Ocean Beach Pier. We’ve wanted to walk out there and it looks like today is the day!

    As I wait for it to warm up outside (currently 41, high of 61) I’m jamming to some music. Here are the next 10 songs on my playlist. As always, completely random and ratings included.

    #1 Drifter by Decemberadio *****

    #2 Take Me by Vineyard Generation ****

    #3 One Step Closer (Live) by Linkin Park *****

    #4 New York by Cat Power ***

    #5 Black Water by The Doobie Brothers ****

    #6 Only One by Lifehouse ****

    #7 All Creatures of our God and King by David Crowder Band ***

    #8 Counting Blue Cars by Dishwalla ****

    #9 Walkin’ by Miles Davis *****

    #10 New Soul by Yael Naim *****

    I think this is the 50th edition of Saturday Tunes. It may not be the most consistent feature of my blog, but it is one of my personal favorites.

    This morning I find myself at my mom’s house in Las Vegas. We needed a car and they had an extra so it worked out. Last night, I took the 40 minute flight from San Diego to Las Vegas. Actually, we sat on the tarmac in San Diego for almost as long as long as our flight because apparently a couple checked in for the flight but couldn’t wait for the plane to take off if you know what I mean. Meanwhile,

    I was sitting in the back of the aircraft with 4 guys who could have come off the set of any Cheech and Chong movie. An early evening flight to Las Vegas is an experience everyone should try… once!

    Later this morning I’ll begin my drive back to San Diego. And since I’m alone these are the next 10 songs I’ll be singing down the highway.

    #1 Tell Me Something Good the Happy Feet Soundtrack ****

    #2 Spin by Lifehouse ****

    #3 Pork and Beans by Weezer *****

    #4 Wink and a Smile by Harry Connick Jr. ****

    #5 Beautiful Day by U2 *****

    #6 Two Lights by Five for Fighting ****

    #7 California Uber Alles by Dead Kennedy’s ****

    #8 When I Said I would by Whitney Duncan ****

    #9 Sister Rosetta by Noisettes ****

    #10 You are Good by Lincoln Brewster ****

    Looks like the first hour of my drive is going to be eccectic. Maybe not as odd as the flight last night… How about you? What is on your list this morning?

    I think things are settling in for us. The house is mostly unpacked with just a few things left to put together and sort out. Yesterday I worked a half day. After work we went to the beach, then dinner at The Corvette Diner in Hillcrest. This morning I’m headed to a test of some content YS is rolling out in Spring 09. Have I said lately I’m the luckiest guy alive? I love my job!

    While I’m off doing all sorts of things today, music is a big part of my day. Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, this shuffle is totally random and ratings included.

    #1 All Creatures of Our God and King by David Crowder* Band ****

    #2 We Shine by Steve Fee ****

    #3 Sending by Charlie Hall ****

    #4 Bingo by Baby Jamz ****

    #5 Always by Hillsong United ****

    #6 Everything by Lifehouse ****

    #7 The Bridge by Hans Zimmer ****

    #8 Put a Penny in the Slot by Fionn Regan ****

    #9 Tears of the Saints by Leeland ****

    #10 No Matter What It Takes by Jeremy Camp ****

    Not going to lie. This shuffle is lame. I mean, seriously?

    saturday tunesThis week I got a new MacBook. (not the Air, a black MacBook since I wasn’t impressed with the Air. Just to clarify!) In the course of moving over 40gb of data I wasn’t able to import all of my ratings from iTunes into the new computer. Total bummer on that. The result is that I have to start over with my ratings… all 5,000 songs now have to be re-rated. That said, today’s edition of the Saturday Tunes is going to be especially random. As usual, these are the next 10 tunes coming out of my iTunes shuffle, no cheating and ratings included.

    1. Walkin’ by Miles Davis ****
    2. Searching by Jadon Lavik **
    3. Pomp and Circumstance ** <– graduation song, too funny
    4. The Beginning by Lifehouse **
    5. Hidden Track by Shaun Groves * (this song is so annoying, I like it but the mix is so odd, there is a girl on the recording from the audience who kills the song)
    6. Restore by Daystar **
    7. It’s Like Me by Kutless **
    8. Listen to the Music by The Doobie Brothers ****
    9. I Can Wait by Out of the Grey *
    10. In My Place by Coldplay *** (Gotta be depressed to like this one)
