Well there was a lot going on this weekend. After Friday’s freaky bad storm I helped my buddy Dave clean up the mess at his home.
Check out these amazing photos of what he was left to deal with.

Molly and I went to the Sigur Ros concert last night at the Orpheum. Amazing. These guys are for real. I invite all who have a desire to hear beautiful sounds with heavenly melodies to listen to Sigur Ros.
You can stream the new album here:

OK, I’ve been convicted. I just read a great article by Mark Driscoll found here:

It really points out the trouble we have as a society in completely shutting off, when it’s needed most of all–while we’re with our family and on vacation.
I know it’s hard for me to “shut completely off” but know that the time spent with my family and sons isn’t time I can get back, I can catch up during the week if I fall behind, but I can’t catch up on the time we have together.

How do you like all those numbers?
It’s amazing that the dust still hasn’t fully settled from the text to give campaign. Philanthropy.com had a great article last week on the work we did.
Now I just have to think of the next project…
If you listen very closely you can hear the little man saying “Hi Daddy!” I love this guy so much—he’s a little fish in water too. Loves to swim and is doing a great job. It’s crazy how fast he’s growing and turning into such a little man.
