Red Sox vs. Rockies
Well it’s final. The Red Sox beat out the Indians in an excited game 7. Now things get interesting. Will the Rockies still be on fire after a long break? What happens if they lose Game 1? Will it get the best of them? Can Boston actually take on the Rockies and win the Series? Hmmm….

8 Innings. 11 Strikeouts. 1 Earned Run. Back to Fenway. ‘Nuff said.
ROCKIES WIN NLCS!!!
It finally happened. After all these years, the Colorado Rockies are going to the World Series. After facing a lot of criticism for their desire to promote Christian ideas in the locker room (if you haven’t heard about it, check this out), the Rockies closed the mouths of critics with a massive 21 wins in their last 22 games, and a trip to the World Series. Congrats, Rockies.
Pumpkin Carving with the Ligon’s
Tonight Paul, Andrew and I went down to Spring Hill to carve pumpkins with the Ligon’s. Kelli (our children’s minister), and her husband Scott were kind enough to provide us with some amazing chili and chocolate cake. Kate, their daughter just cracks me up! I think she had a lot of fun. Our all-star lineup of pumpkins is above. Take a second and thank God for the great friends He has given you, and the fellowship you get to share!
I Love October Baseball!!!
There is nothing in sports that excites me more than October baseball. I love baseball, and I love the Red Sox. Here’s what excites me about this year – there is a possibility the Red Sox and the Rockies will play in the World Series. I lived in Colorado for the first 17 1/2 years of my life, so I have a natural attachment to the Rockies. But Boston is my team… Needless to say, this could be interesting!
Focus Weekend
I just got back from our student ministry’s fall trip. We went to Camp Livingstones in Englewood, Tennessee. This camp has been around for 10 years, and was basically built entirely by students. We had a good time. We talked about some serious issues like being honest and not living a fake Christian life. I am anxious to see if it sticks now that we are back home. I took my camera for a ride on the zip-line, so I will definitely post that footage when I have time. And the food, well it was hands down the best camp food I have ever had at a camp. Ever.
Bluegrass Music
Tonight my dad and I got to go play some bluegrass with some of our friends. We had a blast. Here’s our all-star lineup:
Dave Peterson – This guy can sing! (And play every single instrument.)
John Swaim – Guitar – Awesome songwriter and really cool guy!
Ward Stout – Fiddle – Studio fiddler (Tours with Aaron Tippin)
Lee Olsen – Mandolin – Booking agent who used to be in a band with my dad.
My Dad – Banjo
Me – Upright Bass
Student Band
This is the student band at our Wednesday night event called Revolution. They were great tonight. They are great every night. But tonight, wow. A version of Your Love Is Extravagant that I only wish we had recorded.
Lunch Today…
Filet mignon with a red wine/portabello mushroom sauce and roasted asparagus over a bed of egg noodles. Yum.
Rascal Flatts
These guys are awesome. Each year, they give all the proceeds from their Nashville concert to the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. This year they raised $830,000! That is pretty cool if you ask me. Way to go guys! Oh yeah, and the concert rocked. Check out the stage!
