Emergent Lunch

I'm excited to be joining other Bay Area Emergent Christians for lunch in San Francisco tomorrow. Tony Gapastione and I are driving up. It's hosted by Mark Scandrette, and we'll be joined by Tony Jones, author of Soul Shaper, Read. Think. Pray. Live., Postmodern Youth Ministry, and The Sacred Way. He is also the National Coordinator of Emergent. Should be really stimulating, energizing conversation.... I love this sort of thing. And good Indian food, too! 


Blah blah blah

Another exciting week at the Nightingale house...

  • Luanne led worship on Tuesday night for a women's bible study/worship time at PCC called Wellspring. It is becoming more and more apparent that she is a gifted and called worship leader... We always knew she was a gifted singer... but she is so much more than that... God is using her in really cool ways.
  • We went to a sand castle competition yesterday at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. A bunch of elementary schools teamed up with architecture and engineering firm specialists to create these massive sand sculptures around a "Comic Adventures" theme. It was pretty amazing... We had dinner at Rainforest Cafe. The kids loved it.
  • Jake had a field trip on Thursday to Albertson's. Sounds like fun, except he says they didn't get ANY samples. :(
  • "Always Entertaining Me" is #4 on the Indieheaven radio chart... Make sure you rate it every day!
  • I'm finally up at CD Baby! Check it out... That means Napster, iTunes, Rhapsody, etc. are not far behind!
  • I bought some new music on Friday... Mexican Standoff by Michelle Shocked (one of three CDs she released on the same day this year) and Jacksonville City Nights by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals (the second of three planned 2005 releases). I love music so much. I had a gift card to Barnes & Noble, so I used that...
  • Every Friday from 9-11:30, the twins are at preschool, the "big boys" are at school and Luanne's at work, so I get a glorious couple of hours all to myself. Last Friday I enjoyed a trip to the chiropractor, Barnes & Noble (2 CDs and a venti nonfat, no-whip caramel mocha... a little bit of heaven), the post office, the bank, the library (got the new Erin McKeown CD, We Will Become Like Birds there), and the video store.
  • Not much else... My friend Curt, the blogging KING, says I should pick a thing and stick to it... Maybe music... That would be natural, huh? Maybe instead of saying I picked up three CDs, I should tell you about them... Maybe next time. :)
  • OK, g'night for now...
