Thoughts on Worship

This last sunday (May 18th) I got the chance to go to church with the Jedlicka Family.  They attend Vale Community Church and frequent the late service, which is a contemorary service.  I always find it interesting to visit another church, espeically those outside of the Methodist Church.  I feel like its a chance to see how others worship and to move forward in my own faith.  If you've ever watched Biggest Looser, they talk about having a "cheat day" every week when your on a diet.  It helps your body to not get used to the diet food and sort of shocks the system back into the intended goal.  I look at visiting other churches as the same kind of thing. Sometimes you need to be "shocked" back into the right path on your faith journey.

Theres lots more.. so make sure to clickly!

So, for those of you who weren't there, we had a Poker night at Rob's place.  It was a blast!! Damion took the spoils, kinda.  There was old style beer, good conversation, bad jokes, movie quotes and lots of dudes... it was nice!

So, I'm sure your asking yourself, Adam, when is the next poker night?  I have your answer!!

When: Monday May 12th @ 7pm (or 6:30 if everyone wants to start early)
Where:  Adam's Garage (email him for an address if you need it)
What: Texas Holdem Poker, Homebrewed Beer, Cheap (or not so cheap) Cigars

 There ya go!! All the info you need!! Cya three!!!

For those of you who DON'T know........

 I'm (adam) participating in the 2008 Illinois State Morel Hunting Championship and Festival this weekend in Henry, IL.  The mushroom (morel) hunting in the area has been dismal, but I'm hoping by Saturday it will have picked up and I will pick up quite a few mushrooms.

For those of you interested in what this odd "Morel" thing is:

There is a cluster of them.  They are VERY tasty!!!

6. New Hops are in the ground, old hops are growing like weeds already
7. Privacy fence around the hot-tub is GONE

I think thats it for now. 

There is a prize for the first person to let me know they read this... but they have to let me know via the proper channel... you have to guess that channel!!

Well... since EVERYONE else is updating their sites... (including Rob), I guess I better put something up as well.  Its not like nothing has been happeneing, I just only ever think of the site when I'm at work.. anywho.. here we go!

First - Sad Panda: (Nicole deleted the picture because it's HUGE!)

Poor motorcycle, broke the bottom of the crank case!!

Non-Motorcycle related, Mike, Damion, and I went out to the wood saturday to begin the yearly musroom hunting process.  We scouted an old location, found lots of the proper trees and made a plan as to when/were to check first.  It was a fun day in the woods!!

 There are lots of pics in the gallery about the motorcycle, if your interested, and someday, nicole will actually let me put up the cruise pics, so harass her about that.

Cya!

Well I think we're finally back in the swing of things after vacation.  I have to admit this week was the longest week of work!  5 whole days!  I haven't worked that much since the week after Thanksgiving! 

The cruise was fantastic, although the 100 degree temperature change from when we got on the plane in Miami to when we got off in Chicago totally SUCKED!  I hate cold weather!  We took over 400 pictures, and I'm hoping to start getting them all uploaded (along with working on the gallery in general) a little bit tomorrow.

I'm also going to start harassing Adam about getting the comments fixed somehow.  So if he still hasn't fixed it, feel free to send him an e-mail harassing him too.
