The following is part 2 of a 5 part series. Go here for Part 1

I decided it was time to get something to eat, and after eating I Seattle for the week, I decided Wendy’s was probably the best idea for lunch with my remaining budget.  After getting my ¼ pound hamburger (sorry April and Alf) with a medium drink (witch was really like a large) and medium fries, I proceeded to sit down on a bench and watch the planes take off and the baggage handlers loose peoples luggage (sorry Donald).  About the time I finished my French fries, Diego showed up to tell me that he had gotten his laptop.

I was excited for the man, but he hadn’t gotten a chance to go get his Bible.  Looking at the time, I told him that he probably had just enough time to go get it.  He agreed and off he was again.  This was the last time that I saw him in my story.

So once again I thought the adventure was over.  I figured that he would get his Bible, catch his plane, and that would be it…the end.  So I got up and proceeded to head to my gate.  We had to drop off the rental car early so we wouldn’t have to pay for another day.  So, I had a lot of time to waste waiting for my plane.  So I made my way to one of the Starbucks to set up camp and relax for a couple of hours.  But God had other plans.

Ok so Alf and I did a video update today…but for some reason it has no audio.  So here are some quick thoughts:

• Matt Chandler is awesome…he is a new favorite teacher.
• John Piper seems like he is on the edge of crazy and that is awesome!
• Seattle has some good beer.
• I like Jamison (I don’t know how to spell) whiskey
• If you want to watch the lessons live from home (for free) you can go to theresurgence.com/live  (hurry the conference ends tomorrow)
• I miss Shannon
• Mark Driscoll’s love for his kids makes me look forward to being a daddy
• Mark Driscoll’s love for his wife make me proud to have a wife like Shannon
• Mark Driscoll, Matt Chandler, John Piper, CJ Mahaney’s love for Christ gives me a passion to grow closer to Jesus and to spread the gospel
• I know that I’m called…I think God will clarify to me later
• The guys that I’m out here with are great men of God and I love them

That’s all for now…I’m on Alf’s laptop and the battery is about to go.  Until next time.

I just came across this alarm clock in my general web surfing at ThinkGeek.com. The description is as follows:

Connects via WiFi to your online bank account, and donates YOUR real money to an organization you HATE when you decide to snooze!

For years the masses have told you that if you snooze you lose. You never believed them. You held your head high and slept in whenever you wanted to, always without fear of loss. Well, dear friends, the times have changed. The ingenious sages at ThinkGeek Labs(TM) have finally created the Ultimate weapon against snoozing – the SnūzNLūz(TM). People who enjoy sleeping in are cowering in fear all across the globe – it’s finally true, when you snooze, you lose!

When I first saw this, I instantly saw the answer to all my needs in one handy alarm clock. You see for the longest time I have had trouble waking up in the morning. In the past I would hit the snooze button a minimum of 4 times before I finally got up for the day. I would drive my wife crazy every morning.

So when I saw this alarm clock, I immediately thought I had found my answer. But then I started to think to myself, “Am I really that lazy?!” I know it would work…because I am the cheap. Forget giving $11 to an organization that I hate. I hate the idea of giving $11 to anyone simple because I want to sleep more.

Plus I have found a way to get up early every morning on a consistent basis. My friend Alf (his full name is Alfonso..but Afl sounds cooler) and I have made a pact (ok just an agreement…but pact sounds much cooler) to pray with each other over the phone at 6 every morning. Now I know some of you are thinking that six isn’t that early in the morning. But for me that is like getting up at 4:30 in the morning. Since we have started doing this, I have only failed once to roll my lazy butt out of bed, call Alf, and pray. It has been life changing to start every day off with prayer with Alf.

Now I just have to work on not going back to bed after we pray.
