Bought the pupper saddle bags so he can help carry his own water and snacks when we go on walks. He is so proud that he doesn’t want me to take it off him. When I do he keeps trying to get me to put it back on.

It’s been raining quite a bit but this am was really nice after I dropped the kids off so I went for a walk. When I crossed the bridge over the river at 619 I saw a log floating down the river I so knew the creek would be high. It was so beautiful that I had to snap a few pictures.

It’s tough getting a picture of him unless he is sleeping because he is super active. This took about 20 tries to get in focus.

Overall I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Last year about this time we had to bid farewell to Tyler, our faithful lab mix. He was the best dog and my oldest son still says, “Tyler was my best friend.”

It was a difficult time and I really struggled with it for a while, but back in January we got a new puppy. The family decided to call him Link since there is a dog in the neighborhood named Zelda and you must have a Link to go with Zelda

He was born on Thanksgiving, so it is easy enough to remember his birthday. I thought he would be a great pup. His siblings were either all black or all yellow but he was black with some white spots. That made him special. I felt super excited when they let us bring him home.

The first month was tough. He didn’t kennel well to start with but we kept working with him. After a month of taking turns sleeping next to him we got him comfortable sleeping in his kennel by himself. Now he sleeps through the night and does a really good job letting us know it’s time to go potty.

Anyway, here are some of the pics we took with Link so far.

Jut converted the site to HTML5. It was more work than I remembered but I’ve been doing other kinds of dev work so I ended up forgetting some of the tricks to adding/removing elements with the way this theme was setup. Still, only about half an hour of work so not bad.

Planning on doing some new blog posts and writing a bit about my new hobby, harmonica, along with experiences as a youth pastor etc.

From there I got into WordPress development and this in turn created a living for myself. It has been a crazy 4 years but I’ve never met Jon, even though I’m listing in the thanks section at the end of the Stuff Christians Like book.

When I saw that Jon was a keynote speaker at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference that I had already planned on attending, I knew I had to stalk him.

If you somehow know this blog separate from SCL then you may not be aware of the posts in which Jon talked about Skittles, and his first meet up which was terribly unsuccessful despite having brought a huge bag of Skittles to share.

There is a lot more back story there but the important part is that I went and bought a big bag of Skittles. Then at 5:30 am I left the bags n my desk. So I had to spend time after I left hunting down Skittles.

Eventually I got some based on a twitter tip and successfully hunted down Jon to give him his Skittles, talk for a few minutes and get a signature in the SCL book.

So, I know you are looking for tips on how to successfully stalk Christian thousandairs. Here is how I did it.

First, get to know them before they become a wildly famous Christian thousandair.
Then tweet them before an event letting them know you plan on stalking them. You might desire to skip this step, but it makes the last step much easier.
Wait for them to tweet back where they will be so you can stalk them.

If you follow these three easy steps you can stalk a Christian thousandair too.

Have you stalked anyone? How did that work for you?
