Yesterday I took the day off. Grades were all submitted, and things were generally in order at work so I figured why not! I headed out to Southpoint with some people from church.

The Cast:

Eric (Associate Pastor of Worship)

David B. (Creative Media Director)

Tim (Director of Visual Arts)

Nathan (Creative Media Assistant)

Mike (all around musician and some staff position with our worship ministry)

David W. or D-Dub as many know him (a fellow A/V guy at church and all around one of the best friends I have).

And of course, me

Now that you know the cast, let me share in the story.

Scene 1 (Journey Begins)

• We all pile into Eric’s minivan and that was a site to see in and of itself :-).
• Hit Starbucks for some go juice (I drank Cider ’cause I hate their coffee unless I’m absolutely dying for caffeine).
• Hit the road headed to Southpoint in Durham to hit the Apple Store

Scene 2 (The Apple Store)

• See, all of us are Mac nerds whether we directly own one or not. We appreciate their raw power with their beautiful design and we all love how we never get a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). We are like kids in a candy store!
• We play with quad core computer and 30″ displays, we all dream of the day we can afford any of it!
• Help Eric learn some more about his PowerBook
• Tim’s wife calls needing him to save the day but take him away from the guys
• Head back towards church to grab some lunch, drop Tim off and see a movie

Scene 3 (Commute to Briar Creek)

• As we traverse I-40 and subsequently I-540 via the treacherous rain, the most humorous thing of the day occurs.
• We’re all doing well, having good conversation. Nathan is calling his dear wife to get permission to see Narnia without her *cough* whipped *cough*, when all of the sudden the drivers side windshield wiper completely flops off the side of the van, flailing in the wind and rain and we are left blinded!
• <dramatic music for suspense>
• Eric continues to speed down I-540 as we all try to look and see what is on the road to aid him in our trek.
• By the grace of God we arrive safely at Briar Creek and arrive at my deli (the restaurant Jason’s Deli that is) and have a wonderful lunch

Scene 4 (To Church and Movie)

• Successfully reunite Tim and his car so he can go be the good husband that he is
• Arrive at the movie theater with just enough time to get seated before the previews began
• Watched an amazing movie, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
• I won’t spoil it for you guys but the movie rocks, you need to see it, and if you don’t see or don’t appreciate the parallels between this movie and the grace of our Savior, let’s chat - I’d love to share some awesome news with you

Well that about wraps the story up - I hope you enjoyed my recount of the day. I know it can be told in a much funnier way but having issues getting the funny juices going this morning. Hopefully I’ll have more funny stories to share about my escapades tonight - to the ballet!
