It is another awesome thursday night song! Off of Plumb's new CD, Beautiful History, which is more like a "greatest hits" collection. On the second CD they have a bunch of dance remixes of her songs! Here is one of them that we played on the House Party:

It's really more of a poem, but don't try to box the Thursday Night Song in! It's unstoppable!

I met Michael a few years ago when he just stopped by the station I worked at. He told me about his life a little and handed me his CD. The rest is history :) Check out his music for free! And tell him Andy sent you!

This happens to me all the time, I will ask my wife to call my cell phone because I can't find mine. But sometimes her phone is missing too... Then what do you do? Enter the greatest invention of all time! WheresMyCellphone.com !
You type in your number, and they call your cell phone. And it's FREEEEEEE!

They still need to invent a way to make a cell phone whose battery is dead somehow beep loudly to help find it. After WheresMyCellPhone.com, I'm sure that is an invention that is already in the works!

This is something I never thought I'd see, but the popularity of the lolcats cannot be denied. Go here for a little background of how lolcats started.

Here is original one that started it all:



Now it has become an internet language, which has been used to make the newest translation of the bible. For example, here is John 3:16 in lolcat:

So liek teh Ceiling Kitteh lieks teh ppl lots and he sez 'Oh hai I givez u me only kitteh and ifs u beleeves him u wont evr diez no moar, kthxbai!'

What do you think? Is it a funny way to reach people that might not otherwise care about the bible? Or is it offensive that someone would do this?

See More at The LOLCat Bible Translation Project, and you can preorder the print version at amazon.com right now.

Requested by Kaitlyn from Ark City, and J-Izzle freaked out when she heard it requested, so we made it the thursday night song! It is definitely... odd:

This looks legit, and I just ordered one, so I'll let you know when it comes in, but you can get a photobook printed for free and shipped free every month from hotprints.com.

It connects with Facebook and other social networking sites and lets you choose your pictures or pictures from friends' pages as well! It was really easy to do!

Here is a preview of one of the pages from my book:



It can even automatically import your captions for pictures too, as you can see on my page.

I almost feel like I was on an awesome field trip and need to do a report about what happened. So, here goes:

We got up early on saturday, and hopped on an extremely small plane.


Got into Minnesota and went to one of the most famous landmarks, The Mall of America:



There we played a game of "find the human"



And took a ride on a rollercoaster:



We hung out with friends and family... Then on Monday we went to the Vikings game!



Once we got inside, we had to sit down and take a breather, we were almost to the top of the stadium. Check out our view:



I put my camera up to the binoculars to get a shot of Brett Favre warming up:



Scott Stapp of Creed sang the national anthem:



And I don't really have any pictures of the game because I was too busy screaming my lungs out as the Vikings marched to victory! I do want to emphasize how high up we are, check out these two pictures:



You can see that our row ends at the scoreboard. See this shot of Brett Favre being interviewed after the game and you can see where we were sitting:



But it was well worth it, as you can see by how happy we are here:



And here are the highlights from the game:



It was a once in a lifetime experience, and my ears are still ringing from how loud the game was! Go Vikings!

If you have a few minutes, I have three videos for you to watch and a thought that ties them all together about my relationship with Jesus Christ. 

First, watch this video about a High School Football game where the last play of the game went horribly wrong. (start at 1:30 to see one of the craziest plays I have ever seen in football.)

Now, watch this classic commercial:

These got me thinking about a song we are playing on The House- Barlowgirl “Beautiful Ending”

Barlowgirl explains the meaning of the song:

You see great people in history that have followed God passionately and have dedicated their entire life to Him. When you get to the end of their lives and you see the end of their story and somehow it’s like they lost their first love,” says Lauren. “They lost the passion with God and it was so sad to see that they just fall away from loving Him. We said ‘God, we never want to lose you. We never want to lose our first love. We would rather not have this ministry. Could we lose seeing you in the midst of serving you all the time?’ We never want that to happen. That’s what that song came out of.

I hope this encourages and challenges you wherever you are in your walk with Christ.  Don’t get to the last play of the football game and throw the ball down when the game is not over yet, don’t bonk at the finish line, don’t lose your first love!

May we all have a beautiful beginning, middle, and ending!

-Andy

How did I not know about this?!?!? As a crazy fan of Family Force 5, I had to share great news with you about the band... First they have a new CD that is a Target exclusive with a new song called "Keep The Party Alive". You can hear a clip of it at the end of this video:



And FF5 is coming to Oklahoma City for their Christmas Pageant Tour with Remedy Drive and House of Heroes on December 10th! Get the details here.

StarWarsUncut.com is giving you a chance to re-create a 15 second clip from the original Star Wars movie! When all the clips are uploaded, the movie will be spliced together. If you are afraid of not having movie quality equipment or ideas, take one look at the video below and know that you can do a better job than these guys!
