Bobby's World

Let's try this again.

2009-12-29T12:54:00.000-08:00

So... as a result of laziness and of wondering why to blog, it has been over a year since I last blogged. A significant number of people have asked me why I don't blog anymore, so I have asked myself, why don't I blog? I am still figuring out what I think about it. Many wise men have said, to some effect, that an unevaluated life is not worth living. I will apply that wisdom to my blog: "the unevaluated blog isn't worth blogging." So, before I start any updates, I am going to ask you to help me think through this. I will ask you, the few readers I may have, why should I blog. I may be over-thinking this, I do that alot. Either way, I'm rethinking it, and want to hear some other perspectives to inform my blogging.

anyway, thanks in advance for the input, and I look forward to reading your feedback!

p.s. updates coming soon

A View From the Top

2008-11-09T18:39:00.001-08:00

Of the BCS that is!Alabama is 10-0 for the first time in a long time, and frankly, I am super-stoked about it. I thought I would just dedicate this post to all those hoping for a Crimson Tide Championship for the first time since 92'. While we were down in Alabama, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit Bama's campus, especially since my grandparents live about 15 minutes away. The pictures are at night, and I forgot my tripod, so forgive the quality of some of them...

Sweet Home Alabama

2008-11-09T11:49:00.000-08:00

Things have been real busy lately, especially after being gone for a week at a job conference. Now that I am back in life at normal speed, I thought I would share a few pictures from my trip down to Alabama to visit my grandparents. My mom, sister, nephew and I drove down a couple weeks ago to visit my Grandpa Harold and Grandma Martha. It was a blast to get to see them and spend a weekend with them. Even though we had a full car with a 20 month old, everything went real smoothly. Ethan did awesome. We stopped for an hour about twice so he could stretch out, but he didn't cry or anything the whole time. I was particularly glad about that while I was driving. Here are some of the pictures of the fam

After Church

Ethan was really happy, and the center of attention (as always)

We figured out where Ethan gets his hair from...

Grandma and Grandpa really wanted Ethan to warm up with them over the weekend, and were really happy that He did!

I just like this one

Grandpa watching Alabama football, his favorite thing (along with fishing)

2008-10-30T20:38:00.001-07:00

Update coming soon, busy with life. I am actually working everyday again, Halloween is tomorrow, so I'll take a break this weekend to update, and share some pictures from my trip to my Grandparents in Alabama with my mom, sister and nephew...in the mean time, here's something I rarely put up here, a picture of me!

Which way should Eileen?

2008-10-23T21:01:00.000-07:00

I'm undecided, but if I were to pick an alias to go by as a voter, my name would be Eileen Wright (think about it). With all of the complex issues that come with a tight election, I wish Dr. Seuss had something for us to simplify things...maybe he could think of an ending for "one vote, two vote, red vote, blue vote"...Maybe he could tell us for whom the Who's would vote.

The fact is, we're left to educate ourselves, fight through the many voices and talking heads of the mediascreaming at us (and each other), telling us what to do and who to vote for. I'm new to keeping up with political news, and it's difficult to find a trustworthy voice (suggestions are welcomed). After weeks of confusion and frustration, I decided that I am not a dummy, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to do...But I DO need some people to tell me what exactly they would do. So I went to a McCain/Palin rally last week. I honestly wished it was more of a town hall meeting than a rally, but I'll take what I can get. Not only was that an opportunity for me to learn about a candidate from the candidate's mouth, but it was also a great photo-op! I was excited to use my new star filter for the first time. It was tough being a short guy in a crowd of people trying to get pictures, but I got a few decent photos, I'll share a few below.

Less than two weeks to go before the election, so much studying to be done. I think it's funny whenever I hear people say this is possible the most important election of history. I understand the weight of the issues pressing this one, but the past can't be changed, so this IS the most important election because it effects the future. Anyway, just a minor rant. Oh, one more thing. If anyone actually read this whole blog and has any good print, internet or any other resources to get educated, please share!

The pro Mcain slogan

The anti-Obama slogan (decidedly more creative than it's counterpart, "McLame")

The crowds gathered in anticipation...

For Hank Williams Jr.! He was awesome. I could listen to him talk and play guitar all day. I'm sure he's got a ton of great stories, growing up with Johnny Cash, June Carter, and being the son of Hank Williams They finally make it out. Sara Palin, Todd Palin, Hank Jr, John McCain

Hey, look! It's Tina Fey! sometimes I honestly can't tell the difference.

Happy voting!

Saturday on the Links, continued...

2008-10-11T09:54:00.000-07:00

So I've been lazy updating the blog this week, but here it is, as promised!

This was awesome! Shean hit a nice shot, nothing but ball, even ended up on the fairway...He got pretty good distance on his club head too! It was hilarious. The pastor and his son
long putt...
Oh so close!
The Lemon boys and Billy Martin

Saturday on the Links

2008-10-05T20:14:00.000-07:00

Here's a teaser for Saturday's Men's golf outing for church. It went pretty well, 20 guys hit the links then the lunch table on Saturday for some good food and fellowship. It was an amazing day and a lot of fun! Stay tuned for a few more pictures...

Lecrae is back!

2008-09-30T14:42:00.000-07:00

I feel like a little kid, and a little like a salesperson blogging about this. I just remembered that today Lecrae's new album, "Rebel" is out, and I am sitting at a Starbucks a little over a hundred yards from a Walmart! I am ridiculously excited/giddy right now, and I thought I would share it with you all before I go pick up the album. Basically, Lecrae is a Christian rapper who

1. is ACTUALLY an awesome rapper

2. has very Scripture/Gospel centered lyrics and songs

3. has made making music a launching point for his ministry!

When I finish listening to one of his albums, it's like I've listened to a vivid, no-punches pulled, truth filled, Christ-exalting sermon. I have nothing against Christian music, but sometimes I listen to Christian songs and feel as if the content is lacking when it comes to truth. Lecrae goes after truth before emotions, but does not ignore human experience either. Rap may not be your thing, but if truth is, and if Christ is, check out his ministry, and check his music, you will be encouraged and challenged. If you check it out, let me know what you think!

Game on!

2008-09-27T17:20:00.001-07:00

VS.

I love college football, especially the University of Alabama. After all the big losses for USC, Ohio State and Florida, the stakes of this game are a potential top ranking in the BCS standings. The press is devided in their predictions, the fans are passionate, the stage is set in Athens with 93,000 in the stadium and many more watching at home -- GAME ON!

p.s. This game is also fun for me because the winner will determine whether Jason or myself will have bragging rights for a while!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

The hunt for green october

2008-09-26T09:25:00.001-07:00

So, paychecks have just been so-so, and I'm barely getting by. I've been on the job hunt as much as possible for the past couple of weeks, and I'm about to go drop of my resume a few places. My goal is to be in a new job by October, but the clock is ticking! If only I had the instincts of Jack Ryan, or even better, Jack Bauer, I would hunt down and beat an awesome job into submission. I may end up needing a hacksaw and a blind favor from a stranger for this, but you'll just have to trust me!

Ok, so it probably won't be that exciting, but I can have a little fun with it, can't I?

YAY!

2008-09-19T20:51:00.000-07:00

Things lately have been pretty predictable: work, eat, sleap, repeat. Since this is a temporary thing, I am really looking forward to moving forward to where God is leading me. Frankly it's been wearing on me of late. Which is why I am happy to say that I recieved an invitation to the conference for the overseas program I applied to! I am really stoked! I get to go to Richmond in November for the conference to do interviews and work out some job requests.

I am really praying and trying not to look forward so much that I miss great opportunities to serve now, but I am still pretty excited. This is what I have been hoping to do for about 4 years now! My wish has come true!

Yay, it's almost here!

A man with a plan!

2008-09-15T19:45:00.000-07:00

So, I've been frustrated in my new schedule, being tired and going to bed early not doing some things I want to do more, so, I've decided its time to go back to the old drawing board, and rewrite my schedule and prioritize stuff I want to take care of. Since coming back from school, I have relaxed my schedule and haven't planned much, but now its time to do it again! Planning is crucial to discipline and preparation to whatever God brings my way.

Provervs 16:3

"Commit your work to the Lord

and your plans will be established"

Back from the dead

2008-09-09T18:54:00.000-07:00

Well, not literally, but I don't walk around like a zombie anymore (technically, zombies are un-dead, but whatever). Anyway, just leaving a quick update so you know I'm not dead. During the week is tough, because I go to bed early for work, but there are a couple things coming up.
1. I'm trying to get a 2nd job
2. I've been talking to people about relief work overseas
3. I may teach a class at my church (i'll fill you in on that later)

but for now, sleep

Some fun with the sickness, featuring Billy Mays

2008-09-04T14:50:00.001-07:00

Do you want to lose weight, control your hunger, be well rested, have plenty of time to do the things you've been wanting to do, but that pesky job is always in the way. Well do I have a solution for you! It's called, Get Sick (tm). Your body's not ready, and you won't believe the results (which may vary)! You'll lose ALL your appetite, you won't even enjoy food because you can't even taste it! Forget all the time work takes out of your schedule, get back on the couch (you won't have energy to do much else) and get back to catching up on movies, books, heck even my infomercials! I'm so confident in this products quality, that if you incubate right now, we'll give you not 1, not 2, but 3 sick days absolutely free (you are't getting paid for them anyway)! So what are you waiting for, go get coughed on right now! You'll be on the couch and miserable in no time. I GUARANTEE IT!

Sick Days...

2008-09-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

I call these my cocktails. It's not bad, but I can't taste it much anyway. This is a free plug for Dayquil and Airborne. Sadly, my face is still plugged. Looking forward to breathing out of my nose, smelling, tasting ALL of my food, actually being hungry, having energy and being able to do read without falling asleep (ok, I've been hoping for that for a long time -- I was notorious for falling asleep with the light on and my face in a book at school).
On the plus side, I have read some more than if I'd been working, watched a couple movies I'd been wanting to see, and I got more time with the fam. It was all pro bono, and sans choice.

Thanks germs and bacteria,

Love Bobby

Poker Night!

2008-08-30T15:05:00.000-07:00

Now that I have a "big-boy job" and I don't live in the dorms hanging out every night, the weekends are very precious to me. One thing that I have made a habit of doing the past few weeks is playing some friendly poker on Saturday nights at a friend's house. We all pay $5 to get in the game, and just hang out and play poker. No big winners here, there's usually a win/loss of about 2 bucks with most people. Big winners win 5 bucks maybe. The main thing is that its fun and we hang together with a little friendly competition. I also like to dress for the occasion (below).

Here are some of the poker faces of the players, and a few other shots:

Kristen's poker face

Billy is always a character

Larry stacks his chips

Chris considers his hand...

Chris folds

Larry's normal face. It doubles as his poker face.

and one more picture to leave you with.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

A light break from a heavy world

2008-08-28T10:33:00.000-07:00

Well the last post was pretty heavy. I have come to terms with the world, and then I became pleasantly distracted by this website that allowed me to see what I would look like if I went to highschool in the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's even as far back as the 1950's. Here's what I would have looked like (sort of).

And I really couldn't resist this one!

Let me know which one is your favorite! I think mines the one with the bowtie, or all of the ones as a girl with my five o' clock shadow!

Tough times!

2008-08-21T14:57:00.000-07:00

So it's been a few days since I posted, partly because of time constraints, and partly because I just didn't feel like it. I feel like this guy lately:

Life comes at you fast sometimes, and sometimes I don't feel like I catch a break. At the cusp of adult life, there is an optimism and a hopeful, bright outlook on the great potential one has in the years God chooses to grant him or her. This optimism is justified and should not be disregarded, but there is also a reality check that comes with the great responsibilities that accompany and characterize being an adult. I welcome these, but they are new, and some of my obligations are very hard to accomodate right now.

God has been gracious to me, though, and I trust He will continue to be (He doesn't change afterall). He reminds me that He uses these times to teach me and grow me. I trust Him, and I know He knows best, but man it gets rough sometimes.

These words give me much encouragement these days:

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
(Romans 8:26-28)

If you are reading this and you are in Christ, you can find encouragement from these words, if I were not in Christ, I would have no real encouragement at all.

Not again!

2008-08-14T17:46:00.000-07:00

That's Sacha Kljestan as the wistle blew. I was in a similar position in my living room floor yesterday at 6:50am eastern time (most of China is 12 hours ahead of us).

If you know me at all, you know that I am a huge soccer (the real football) fan. One of the things I get the most excited about is international soccer. Players play their hearts out for the pride of their country. I am very pleased with the growth of our soccer program here in the USA, but I am continually disappointed with our results in the big tournaments.

The Olympics in Beijing are no exception. We started off strong with a win against Japan, a tie against the Netherlands (who are the favorites to win the tournament), and a heart breaking loss against Nigeria (above) that knocked us out at the group stage. We just can't seem to get passed the group stage!

I am in mourning with the team and coaches who represented us in China, and I really hope that at the 2010 World Cup I will have more than 3 games to cheer on my fellow countrymen. Come on South Africa!

p.s. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's ok. I know I care a lot more than most of you. But you should check out our national team, they have a lot more talent than most people give them credit. Dont' write them off like some, just because they aren't a perennial world powerhouse like USA has in basketball, football, baseball, hockey or a host of other individual sports. Try to cheer on your countrymen as theywork hard to be contenders in the world's sport!

Ryan and Becky's Pittsburgh Wedding teaser...

2008-08-12T18:57:00.000-07:00

This past weekend one of my best friends, Ryan Johnson and Becky Johnson tied the knot. The ceremony was great, the whole weekend was fun hanging with Ryand and fam during the most stressful/joyful time of his life! I have to get up super early in the morning, so here's a teaser for now.

Crossroads

2008-08-05T15:07:00.000-07:00

Whew, it's been a long week. After being a server for so long, this construction business can where me out! It's been fun and educational for me, and I'm grateful God provided a job ( He knows I need one). That's just what i do everyday, but there has been more going on this week. I find myself at a crossroads. The Merriam-webster dictionary defines a crossroads as "a crucial point especially where a decision must be made." I am at such a point, three months post graduation, where I must choose between opportunities for ministry. This is a difficult decision, and a trying one. I have changed my mind a couple times, but now I am just seeking God's wisdom and direction (I had not because I asked not). This decision pretty is pretty much what I am focusing on these days.

With this decision weighing on my heart and mind, I took a Sunday drive, just to have some quiet time with the Lord, and just some solitude for a while. I was going to take my own picture of a crossroad to put up here, but my battery ran out. But before it ran out, I was able to take these photos while I was musing...

I figured it was time to take a self portrait, so here it is...

Work!

2008-07-30T19:57:00.000-07:00

I wanted to give a quick update. God finally provided a job for me! I am working for Cornerstone Custom Framing. The owner goes to my church, and when I ran out of options for work, he hooked me up. It's been three days, and not too hard yet, but tomorrow we start a new job. Me being the new guy means that I get to tote lots of heavy wood all day (part sarcasm, part glad I get a mandatory workout)! well, I will post a more detailed update soon, but for now this will have to do, gotta get some rest for work...

Venezuela part Dos!

2008-07-23T08:35:00.000-07:00

Ok, finally here's the rest of my photo-diary of the trip to venezuela. In the last Vene. post, I showed you some of the construction work and the party at the nursing home. Now I want to show you the carnivals we did in the street. We concentrated on loving on the children, we played music, games, painted faces, made balloon animals and hats, etc. It was a ton of fun, and a ton of pictures. Here are some of my favorites:

This is the Basurero (in english, the dump). 3 million people's trash living in and around Maracaibo go to this dump.

There are communities of people who are so destitute, that this dump is their livelihood. They find their food, things to sell, clothing, anything that can be used to sustain life in this dump. They have set up their communities as close to this dump as possible to ensure that they get in first each day to get first dibs on the trash. These are some of the communities that we ministered to.

Up next: The ninos!

Don't you wanna love on 'em?! We did too, here it is

And the staff:

McKenzie (a.k.a. Big Mac)

Alfredo and his wife Audia

Josue (a.k.a. El Juahito de Fuego) and his wife Dayana (a.k.a. Cabezona)

Kenny (a.k.a. El Negro de Muerte) and Adriana

Laurie the water nazi

Chris (a.k.a. El Gringo de Magico) and Isai and Sandra (whom I regret to not have a photo of)

Oh, yeah, and me (a.k.a. El Mexicano de Futbol)

The two weeks we spent in Venezuela were awesome. We had a ton of fun, enjoyed each others fellowship and hanging with our Venezuelan homies! It really was like coming home, and it was incredibly hard to leave...

It's impossible to summarize the trip in a blog, it helps to have pictures, but nothing replaces the experience, the relationships, the stretching of faith of actually going. Those of you who came know, and those of you who didn't, I pray that you take an opportunity to serve with our brothers and sisters overseas.

The Dark Knight!

2008-07-18T17:46:00.000-07:00

Ok, I'm also taking a posting break to go see The Dark Night! I feel like a nerd for being this giddy, but I am. Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors, and Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is hyped up to be incredible. I can't wait!

Venezuela 2008: Paradigm Shift

2008-07-17T18:49:00.001-07:00

So it's been a hot minute since I've been able to blog, two weeks in fact. Venezuela was awesome! God really did some awesome things in and through our team there. The video will give you a pretty good audio/visual experience to get you acquainted with what we experienced and did there [to see it, click here]. There were three churches that came: Allen Baptist, New Hope, and Beech Park.

I have a ton of pictures, and I know that I can ramble when telling stories, so I will attempt [emphasis on ATTEMPT] to give a brief/accurate representation of the week by way of photos and captions.

When the staff team arrived, we helped the Venezeulans finish the missionary rooms on the house we built last year.

This sunset is from the night that we went to pick up the 36 member mission team from Allen Baptist, Beech Park and New Hope

These are the four pastors that are partnering together in ministry in Cabimas, Venezuela. From right to left: Pastor Robert Melton (New Hope), Pastor Darwin Fuenmayor(I hope I spelled that right!), Chris Bumbalough - Pastor of Youth and Missions (Allen Baptist), and Pastor Robbie (Beech Park).

Part of the team did construction everyday, and it's not the same as in the states. here's a few pics of us making cement for a kitchen floor at the church.

Here the boys take a little break...

Here we leveled the cement:

We also went to a couple of nursing homes and held a big party where we loved on some "abuelitos" -- literally "little grandparents," it's just a nice way to refer to elderly people. I didn't get to go, because i was with the construction team, but it looks like it was pretty sweet.

Ok, kids, that's all for right now, coming very soon, visual proof that we loved on some Venezuelan ninos at a street carnival, and the Basurero, and Venezuelan friends. I have decided to do this half post because there is an error and it won't save my progress! so here you go and stay tuned!

I'm Back!

2008-07-16T09:25:00.001-07:00

I just got back from Venezuela last night, much to blog about soon, but I must take care of some things first...I'll be bloggin soon!

Quick update

2008-06-26T09:20:00.000-07:00

Things are going around here. Most of my friends here went to the beach for a week, so I have just been hanging around the house. I am leaving for Venezuela on Tuesday, which I am really excited about, because I will get to see Chris, Sandra and Isai again. But for now, I'm just doing some chores around the house. This weekend I am going to the DC United vs. LA Galaxy game in DC with my uncle who lives there. The game is sold out, so it should be awesome. This game has sold out for two reasons:

Reason #1

Reason #2

I hope more people are going because it's a soccer game than to get a long distance sniff of David's hotness. It should be a pretty good game the two teams are rivals, Landon Donovan (LA) is the leading scorer in MLS right now, Luciano Emilio (DC) was last seasons highest scorer, so it should be a great game and a great atmosphere! I guess I'll leave it at that and spare you all my soccer nerd knowledge and ramblings.

A Tribute to Summer part 2: Camping and the great outdoors

2008-06-21T17:42:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, my good friend Ryan and I headed to Rainbow Acres on the Mataponi River for a long weekend of enjoying the great outdoors. No plans, just a tent, some fishing poles, a deck of cards and plenty of food to keep the two of us perfectly not busy for 3 days. It was awesome. Just some time to soak in God's creation and have a good time. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

The Campsite!

The view from the dock

Our Spot

A dragonfly that kept landing in front of our campsite

Riverside foliage

"roughing it"

And now for another tribute to summer: campfires. I love the smell of burning wood, it's a place to hang out and talk for hours making smores or hotdogs or just keeping warm. It also looks pretty sweet when you take a picture of it at night!

30 second exposure - there was a lot of embers!

up close

This is my favorite: just the embers above the fire - 30 seconds again

Well, that's it for now, more summer tributes coming soon!

Turkish Delight

2008-06-21T09:11:00.000-07:00

Would you believe that Turkey have come from behind in ANOTHER knock out game. This time the quarterfinals against Croatia. I must say, they don't win easy, but it's fun to watch! I can't help but cheer for Turkey after the amazing games they have been a part of this tournament!
Here's the link.

Summertime!

2008-06-20T21:46:00.000-07:00

There are certain things that I love about summer. Wearing flip flops all the time, driving with the windows down, all the green and foliage after spring has sprung, twitterpated animals (some of you will get that), but also, oddly enough, I love mowing the grass. It's therapeutic, a bit of a mental retreat for me. It's exercising my God-given dominion over the earth by chopping down every piece of grass to a consistent, unevasive length. The process, as you know is pretty simple: push in straight lines that overlap a bit so you don't miss any grass. I love how simple it is. I take that 1-2 hours of monotonous walking to ponder life, pray, and just muse on things that most other times get drowned out by other happenings during the day. So this post is my tribute to summer part 1: mowing the lawn.

The Beautiful Game

2008-06-16T15:36:00.001-07:00

A walk-off grandslam home run in the playoffs, a hail-mary winning touchdown, a half-court game winning shot in the NBA finals. There are many sports moments that will get any persons blood pumping with adrenaline, whether or not their allegiance lies with any team involved in the competition. Sunday, June 15th offered us another intesely dramatic moment when Turkey faced off against the Czech Republic in the 2008 European Championships. 11 men for each side represented their country in a knock out match for the winner to advance to the quarter finals. Three goals in the final 15 minutes (2 in the final 5 minutes) would decide this epic battle.

For the nay-sayers, and for the football (soccer, for you anglos) lovers out there, I have embedded the highlights of one of the most passionate, exciting, and surprising games I have ever seen. I wish I could embed the highlight video for simplicity, but I'll have to settle for giving you the link here. Enjoy!

If you want to see more, check out the television schedule.

Happy Dad's Day!

2008-06-15T18:46:00.000-07:00

This Father's Day was a very special one for the Wood household. It's not appropriate to go into detail here, but my parents have acquired two new "daughters," and that made this father's day especially poingnant. I have also been thinking about all of the sacrifices my parents have made for me over the years: my dad got rid of his 280z (fast little sports car) to make room for me, he went to college to support the growing fam, he spent his money and time on things that would benefit us instead of him (with some legitimate exceptions, of course). At this stage in my life, with my toes in the sand, standing on the shores of my adult life and responsibilities, I can really begin to appreciate all the sacrifices my parents have made, and that they were more out of love than obligation.

Memorial Day weekend

2008-06-01T12:13:00.001-07:00

I publically ask for forgiveness from all 2 of you that check this blog so far...I have not posted for a week! In my defense, I attempted -- but that's only an excuse (according to Jason Coobs and my father, excuses are unacceptable). So I am working out the kinks in making this blog thing a habit, here's an update...

Last weekend we had LOTS of family at the house for a two day cookout extravaganza that included a lot of steak, chicken, ribs, and one very long nap by yours truly (a big meal will do that to you, especially when your not used to the quality of food). I love food, and this stuff made me quite happy...The best part of the weekend, however, was family, of course. Here are a few family snapshots from the weekend:

Dad showing my cousin Hannah the ropes of grilling

Amy posing with Aunt Laurie

now check those chompers out! He's such a happy kid

This was Memorial Day weekend.

I Finally Started!

Well, here I am...I have started a blog! It took me a little while to actually sit down and get this thing online, but I did it. I'm new at this blogging thing, but I plan to just use this as a sort of chronicaling of my life as it happens, complete with visual aids when available (hopefully often!). I hope that this turns out to be something that a lot of my friends follow at least somewhat as a way of staying in touch with each other.

There is a lot going on now, I will have to update you guys later...(hopefully there is a "you guys" to update later!

more to come soon (including a picture of myself, i don't seem to have many of those)
