This seems pretty straight forward and cost efficient.

RockHarbor :: Campus Update July 2010
Featured in this video is Stephanie Byerly who is no stranger to following God’s heed. She “just happened” to be the person sitting next to me on my first visit to RockHarbor proper. On that Sunday, a little over two years ago, during worship I was planning which church I was going to tryout the next week as RockHarbor was too big for my comfort level. After the service she shared with me that she had been compelled to pray for me the whole service and asked if she could now. I shared a bit of my story, which included my accepting Christ the previous week on Good Friday. She prayed for me and then drug me off meet Shambrook, they prayed for me. Pete got the abbreviated story and the two of them prayed for me again. Needless to say I was feeling pretty good as I left RockHarbor that morning, and thought to myself, I think I’ll give them another try. The least of the story is I haven’t missed a weekend yet. So my RockHarbor family keep this in mind next time you have a stranger seated next to you and God starts to poke you in the side. Stephanie is the Cornerstone of my family at RockHarbor and she will always hold a special place in my heart.

I got a ridiculous deal on a 40″ Samsung LCD for me mum yesterday. So I’d been researching online last week for her new tv and I’d pretty much decided on a Samsung 120Hz 1080p nonLED, very good reviews online, I liked the USB ports etc. So Saturday I planned on actually finding one to take a first hand look. Local pricing wasn’t looking too good Best Buy $1100, WalMart $950ish, Pauls nope, Howard’s nope, Target nope, Amazon was the hands down the price leader $750 after going all the way through checkout just to find out the price. So okay Amazon is it thought I’d prefer to get it local but not at those prices. So I walk into Fry’s and they have one on display, I check the price and do a triple take. $599 WTH, is that the same model? Yep, oh wait it’s the floor model - nope. So I ring up me mum and ask if I can just get it now while the getting is good. So I did, bought a pivoting arm drove to her house and was able to install it then and there only because I just happened to have 4 carriage bolts that would work for the job and the bracket happened to work on on her bookcase without modification, something that I had always planned on having to do. So for whatever reason it seems that God wanted my mom to have her new tv yesterday and to save a chunk of change for good measure.

First a Republican in Kennedy’s seat now this. Satan must be in the market for a winter parka. So is the city of Boston going to boycott Massachusetts now?   http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/05/mass_senate_pas.html

Still no spare time, but lots more stories.
