Hey Everyone, it’s “FreePlay Friday” (view all “FreePlay Friday” Posts) … the day where I post whatever I want, on whatever topic(s) I want, with no regard to whether or not it does (or doesn’t) apply to the main theme of this blog, which is worship, worship leadership, church life, and music. What makes “FreePlay Friday” so much fun is that I want YOU to participate by either commenting on my topics or by entering your own, totally random “FreePlay Friday” thoughts in the comments section of the blog. So all you hundreds of RSS Readers need to just click on over now and finish the post on the site so you can participate. (please?)

Here’s what I’m talking about this week:

1.  Google:  I love me some Google.  They are super cool – I love Google Checkout, I love Google Base, I love gmail, etc.  I don’t love the Google Adsense folks, though … I got a lifetime ban a few years ago because they accused me of “invalid click activity”, whatever that means.  At the time, I was bringing $100/month (not much), and I have always been frustrated that you have no recourse or real person to talk to about that stuff. I’m sad that the new “Google Chrome” browser isn’t out yet for Mac.

2.  Hurricanes:  So far we’ve had wind and rain with Fay, Hanna looks like she’ll skirt past us (it’s beginning to get breezy outside) and all eyes are on Ike.

3.  Football – I love college football.  How ’bout them DAWGS.  Sure, they slipped to #2 … they allowed quite a few scores last week versus my alma mater, Georgia Southern.  Of course, 3rd and 4th string will allow that.  Plus, GSU ain’t a bad ball team.

4.  N.O.W.  I’m leading my first “Night of Worship” since being on staff at SSCC.  I used to lead a large worship event each year called “Worship Under the Stars” (2005 and 2006) but haven’t been able to keep up with that responsibility.  This Sunday night (Sept 7, 7:00 PM) we’ll be jumping onto about an hour/15 of awesome praise and worship.  If you are ANYWHERE around, come join us!

5.  Rednecks – You know, I’m one.  By now most of you have seen my fishing outdoors video.  Kimbo, one of our devoted guitarists at SSCC sent me this YouTube video.  It’s a whole new level of Redneck.  I’ll leave you with … the Turtle Man.
