Time is flying by!

Summer is rolling a bit too fast these days. I just came off of a family vacation at Callaway Gardens in South Georgia. We had lots of fun as a family! Cool fireworks on the lake and once again great music by and old band called the "Swinging Medallions". Yeah they are famous for a song called DOUBLE SHOT OF MY BABY'S LOVE! Gotta love that.
All is well at the Nester camp. The kids are having a real fun Summer.

Yeah, more good times!

You've heard it said that Life is Good. We'll it really is here in the Nester camp. The kids are out of school, the wife is loving life, and I've had a good week of music, friends and fun. On Sunday I started the day with some great worship with my team in Indianapolis then I hopped on my GS and rode to Cades Cove Tennessee to hang out with some really cool friends: Michael T Jarrett, (whose music is worth checking out on ITunes and Father Cairnes, (Chris Cairnes) whose music can be heard on spiralfrog.com.

We shot the breeze, had some great prayers and I joined some good friends in Chicago IL for an Arts Conference at Willow Creek.
A couple of us rode into Chicago to take in a game a Wrigley Field. If you haven't done this, you've got to. It's baseball at its finest. The Cubs beat the Braves 10-5 due to a 3-run homer in the 8th inning.

This was a great week balanced with lots of fun, prayer, super friends, but it's great to be home with the family.

With Toes Down Stream

When you fall out of the boat and the River takes control of you, the only option is to ride the rapid toes down stream until it decides to let you go. Every Dad loves to see that little bid of wild in their boy. And as ts goes I got to see some of that last week in Gabe (my youngest). It was his first real confident ride on his Dirt Bike. The boy went crazy and had big smiles as he ran the motorcycle in super fast circles. Good times!

Worship Set List

The "Ocho" Has arrived.

So here's our next Crossing practice cd. this should be fun. lots of real old stuff and some new stuff.
Wee Haw.

New Wheels

Yeah I just got some new wheels. I sold my 1986 Bmw K100 for this 1996 R1100GS and man is it so much more fun to ride. Good days around here. It's good to have spring here and get out of a gas guzzling 4 wheeled vehicle and onto some a bit nicer on the gas milage. (48mpg). Peace my friends

Family, Friends, and a little Vegas

Traveling to see the family and friends is like Christmas. There's so many people that I look up to for various reasons and a few days off to see the heroes of Virginia, Tennessee, Carolina, and Las Vegas makes for a great Holi-day. Tennessee was just like you may expect. Lots of "Corn-hole" games, poker, and shooting guns until my ears were ringing. Virginia was a mad rush of spending time with family & friends where I was able to win two tables of "Texas Hold-em". Great conversations with Dad and Mom's chocolate pie were well worth the trip.
Carolina was a blast. So many cool friends to see and a first time playing the Wii made for a cool night of "catching-up" on old times. Worship at Journey Church was really good with all kinds of friends to smile with. And then we headed to Vegas and took in two Cirque de Soleil shows, a cool New Years Eve party at Treasure Island and played in two Texas Hold-em tournaments. It was lots of fun, but way too much food has been consumed in 2007 so I'm looking to fast and workout in 08'

Good Peoples

So yeah, the Purdue peoples were good peoples to us all. The band rocked & the peoples were glad to see us. We played 4 separate sets and the band stayed all in for each one. Good times. It was great playing some music with Todd Burkholder on Electric Guitar and David Farris on Drums. Those guys are a blast to hang out with, let alone play some music with. Good times indeed!

It seems like there's good people everywhere. Last week there were good people in Colorado, and this week some good ones at Purdue University. I'm starting to feel like I'm surrounded.
