It’s “Favorites Week” here on the blog and today it’s all about food. This is an easy one for me. Actually it could be the hardest one for me, but I would just choose all of them in the same day. First off, to start the morning right I would head to Village Inn in Va Beach and get a western omelet, toast, sausage links, and a large orange juice. Probably get a side of bacon too since everything is better with bacon. That’s a motto to live by…

I’d then get my grub on for lunch by heading to Famous Uncle Al’s in Greenbrier over in Chesapeake. They have the best New York Spicy Dogs w/ sauerkraut, brown mustard, onions, and chili. Oh, and don’t forget the fries and a Dr. Pepper!

After I my breakfast & lunch stops, I’d make my dinner run over to Cracker Barrel in Va Beach near Lynnhaven Mall. I’d get the Country Fried Steak with saw mill gravy (on the side) with green beans, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Also, I’d grub on some free biscuits with apple butter.

To round out the day, my dessert treat would be at Bruster’s Ice Cream in Va Beach, off of Indian River Road. A waffle cone with chocolate ice cream. Two scoops. MMMmmmm!

Yeah, then I’d pass out in a food coma and wake up some time next week.

So, what’s your favorite place to eat?

So, it’s kind of a dead week here around the office/blog. People traveling, taking time with family, etc. So, I figured I’d do a favorites week to wrap up 2010 as we gear up for what looks to be an exciting 2011. Figured we’d kick off this week with Favorite Music/Bands. My music taste varies from year to year, but here are my current favorite bands I’m listening too now:

• The Cure
• The Dear and Departed
• Gungor
• Anblerin
• ACDC
• Copeland
• Steve Miller Band
• David Bazan
• Lagwagon
• Listener
• Matt Kearney
• Tom Petty
• Shad
• The Get Up Kids
• The Roots

Your turn. Who are you listening to right now?

*jdel

Yep. That’s about it.

The beard is back.
He’s getting pretty intense.
I know he’s only 5 weeks old, but he feels neglected.
He needs a name.
Taking suggestions…

*jdel

Caption Please.

The title of this video is “People Are Awesome.”
It could equally be named, “People Are Out Of Their Stinkin’ Minds Doing This Crazy Mess!”
Anyway, it’s a pretty intense video (fyi: the guy walking on water is fake)

• It never gets old seeing baptisms on Sunday mornings! I know a bunch of guys sitting, serving, kickin’ it around Forefront who are on the verge of making a decision for God. I love you guys, but let’s do this! Give me a call and let’s talk.
• James Davis knows how to preach God’s word. I’m glad to call him and fellow laborer in Christ as well as a friend.
• Our band has played the “Jesus Paid It All” arrangement by Kristian Stanfill the last two weeks. The truth spoken in that song is what cements my faith. So great.
• I’ve been reading “The Next Christians” by Gabe Lyons. I think he’s on to something.
• I have to refrain from checking Facebook on Sunday and Monday for the most part. For some reason seeing Christians get more hyped and passionate about football than Jesus just hurts my spirit.
• I think I’m voting Independent on Nov. 2nd. These attack ads aren’t doing much for me. You?
• Watching Chloe and the family enjoy the pumpkin patch and hayride today was great. I love spending time with my family.
• So excited about the next series kicking off in two weeks, “Forgotten Virtues.” It will be a challenging series before we get into the holiday season. Then it’s Christmas. Awwww yeah!
• Oh, just in case you were wondering, we are serving our community again this Christmas Eve instead of doing a service. We’re going to have a HUGE Christmas service the Sunday before Christmas. You won’t want to miss it!
• Served at P.I.N. last Sunday with my Gel Group. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. If you have been, bring a friend next time, they need to be there!
• One week away from a big announcement concerning Vietnam! If it comes together. It will be the biggest collaborative effort we’ve been a part of concerning missions. Cannot wait.
• Been listening to the “Wooden Heart” LP by Listener on constant repeat. Stirring up ideas for a series next year. If you’ve never listened to them, watch this, then these, then go download this, then this.
• That is all.

*jdel

Yeah, that’s how we roll.
Rap is what brings Chloe and I together. It’s fun times.
What are some funny things you and your family do that no one knows about?
