A Bit Creepy

I just found this out today. I haven't decided if I like this or not. It kind of unnerves me in a way. I was getting driving directions to the place that we are going to playing paintball next, and found out about Google Maps "Street View". This basically allows you to see a picture from the street as if you were standing there. Everyone might already know about this but I couldn't pass up posting about it.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

After you click the link, type in the address you want to view. Once you are there drag the little yellow man to a street that will become highlighted in blue. And there you have it. You can't see my house on it yet only the entrance to our subdivision.

What do you think about this new readily available technology?

Out With the Old, In With the New

Lately, I've been more convicted about my speech building up and edifying others. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, "Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing."

I've been thinking about how this verse applies to all areas of life, including chatting. "...but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today...” (in Hebrews 3:13). I think it would be a good idea to use our chatting time to build one another up in the Faith. As it says in Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

I have decided that each chat session will have a theme that will be posted the week before (i.e. a Scripture passage, theological topics, history, character traits, and current events or political topics and how they relate to a Biblical world view). I will try to vary the topics and keep it interesting, and I will also be taking suggestions. If you research the topics before hand, and come prepared, it will make the chat session more interesting! The chat will be held every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. (unless otherwise noted). I am going to be posting the chat info in a gadget on my sidebar. I will try to update it by each Wednesday or Thursday.

Cheers!

The Turkey Rod Run 08

Last weekend my Dad and I went to an antique car show in Daytona. Yes, you guessed it... The Turkey Rod Run. This is the first year I took pictures (excluding my cell phone camera pics from last year :P). Ive been going to this event since I was small, and dad has been going for 20 years! We don't go every year, but this year we were able to go.

The speedway


The tunnel under the speedway. The cars are all in the middle of the track.


I'll start with a nice Boss Mustang

An SS Camaro... One of many.


low... ride... er


What can I say?

I like the color of this car; it suits its name.

Pontiac GTO


A 1963 Split Window Corvette

Sweet


I just couldn't resist.

One of the highlights of the trip was this Shelby Mustang.

Turns out the owner of this beauty was a guy we knew. My dad built his house a couple years ago, and he had bought the car since then.

I like the bed of this truck :)

This 1971 mustang was for sale for 11k. I am wishing I had taken it home :(

Another nice Shelby

We stopped by this kit car stand where the cars started at almost 50k. I told em, "Put the blue one on my tab." hehehe jk

Have you seen the 2009 corvette yet?

That doesn't say 500, the sun is blocking the 7. Funny it didn't sell :P

Well, thats the end. I hope you all enjoyed my much needed post. If you want to see the rest of the pictures Click Here.
