Coming soon to Chula Vista ... Wave Christian Church. Jim and Carla Osbourne will be starting a new church in Chula Vista this fall. Jim has been our utility guitar player at LifePoint for almost a year and was attending even before that. I've known Jim since 1991, back when Tonya and I took our first ministry job here in San Diego.Jim is excited about starting a new church in the town where he was born and raised. Wave is holding their first preview service this morning and is looking to begin full-time services in the fall.It's exciting to see churches like LifePoint, Wave, and CityWalk spring up in various spots around San Diego. CityWalk is the new church that meets in downtown San Diego. Although that's a good start, there is still so much more opportunity that exists.

For whatever reason, I’ve become a regular viewer of the KUSI morning news. With my coffee in hand, I’ll catch a mixture of local and national news, with a little Rod Luck sprinkled in for good measure.

Last week they featured a dog that skateboarded and did jumps on a ramp. But by far, my favorites have been clips of Japanese game shows.Of these, one in particular stands out. It was called "Human Tetris." Tetris holds a fond place in my heart because it was one of the first computer games I ever had that was in color! Tetris is played by aligning different shapes into a pattern has they fall from the…

For the first time, Hannah and Hope are teammates on the same softball team. They played their first game together at the Twin Hills league. Hannah played second and batted second; Hope played various outfield spots. It was special seeing them play on the same team. Both of them are very athletic and seem to enjoy softball. I'll post a few pictures in the near future.

While Hannah was away at camp, we were given free tickets to the Padres game. These are perhaps the best seats we've ever had. They are right next to the field, with only the wall separating you from the field. The opposing team's bullpen (in this case, the Marlins) is less than 20 feet away. Here are a few pics I snapped throughout the game.
