1 Comment

This weekend I’m starting a new weekly feature at Kicking at the Darkness. It’s called The List. Every weekend (Friday afternoon or Saturday morning) a new list of 10 things will be posted. These aren’t necessarily “Top 10” lists but rather listings of 10 things within a specific category. In the coming weeks look for lists such as: 10 Songs by Coldplay, 10 Movies Based on Novels, 10 Animals That Are Not Bears, and 10 Albums by Members of The Beatles.

This week we kick of The List with a musical entry. He is 10 Songs With the Word “Love” in the Title. Enjoy.

1) Bold As Love // Jimi Hendrix
2) Whole Lotta Love // Led Zeppelin
3) You Will Be My Ain True Love // Alison Krauss with Sting
4) Sunshine of Your Love // Cream
5) Never My Love // The Association
6) Friday I’m in Love // The Cure
7) Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love) // Jay-Z
8) Everybody Needs Somebody to Love // The Blues Brothers

Back Home

What a wonderful vacation I had this week.

On Monday, August 4, my wife and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary with a road trip through Oklahoma and Missouri. We stayed with some of our very dear friends in Springfield, MO. We had such a great time. Our friends took us to Branson to walk along the river (rumor had it that Sir Paul himself was in town and staying down there. Unfortunately, we had no Beatle meet and greet.) and they took us to a Springfield Cardinals game where we sat in the “all you can eat” section! We had a wonderful and memorable time.

On our way back home we took our time by stopping at a few roadside attractions. We first stopped in Arcadia, OK at Pops Soda Ranch. There we sampled sodas from around the world. We made our own 6-pack to take with us on the road. Sandy went with some different root beers and I stuck with more fruity sodas. I had the most delicious Lemon Cola from California. Oooh, it was good.

We spent the night in Norman, OK and had a great steak dinner and an awesome hotel room complete with a flat screen television (Fancy I know!). We were able to eat lunch with another dear friend but then it was time to head home.

About an hour from the Texas border the bottom fell out of the sky and it was difficult to even see the highway. At the time we were passing Pauls Valley, OK which just happens to be the home of The Toy and Action Figure Museum. Of course we just had to stop in and have a look around. It was such a great place to stretch our legs and to see a bunch of our old toys on display. Very fun!

We got back in last night and so I’m still a little tired. It was our last hoorah for the summer. School starts back up soon and with it comes sports, band, and other school activities. I am elbow deep in planning and preparing for the fall semester. I have been planning a few tweaks and changes for my ministry as we moving head first into year 3. As things develop I hope to blog about the progress we are making as we seek to develop on-fire disciples for Jesus Christ.

Have a great weekend everyone. Peace.
