Journey Part-1

2009-10-01T15:00:00.003-07:00

I have been on a crazy journey lately in life. Sarah and I just got a dog. His name is Hurley and he's an Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix. He's super chill and is the friendliest dog I have ever met. That's the most recent exciting part of my life.

Here's a look at what my life has been like lately:

I am on my fifth week of school. It's all good, fairly easy, just very time consuming.
Sarah and I have been trying to attend a Wednesday night Bible study at our church Palm Vista Baptist Church. You can visit their website @ palmvistabaptist.com
My Tuesday guys group has recently made the jump into podcasting our meetings. The official name is Three Guys and a Bible. Our website is threeguyspodcast.com. The idea is that we discuss topics that the viewer would like some answers or clarification on regarding Christianity. We are 3 episodes in and I am very excited. We're just 3 ordinary guys serving an extraordinary God. You can also subscribe to us on itunes.
Work has been crazy, mostly busy. We are expanding our aftermarket bumpers to include cattle guards.
I have been reluctantly learning a lesson in patience regarding my calling to become a pastor. I have been told by almost everyone I have shared this with that a call to become a pastor is a call to prepare. So I am praying and seeking God ordained opportunities and, while I have not seen any, that doesn't mean they are not there. I need to focus on God and get my radar in tune with what God want's me to detect. Again, patience in this matter is very hard for me. I want more than anything to be able to quit my Job and focus on what God wants me to do. But I have to be patient, I have to slow down and know that He is Lord.

That's about it for now, of course there is more going on in my life but I have not blogged in so long it would be impossible, and too time consuming, to catch up. On that note here is a picture of our new pup Hurley :0)

Politics

2009-08-04T18:18:00.009-07:00

I want to start this by saying that I first started paying attention to the news and politics after 9/11. In the years that followed I have found where I stand politically, what issues are important to me, and I love being informed.

I say that, to say this. I am sick and tired of all the hate / fear emails! “Obama is the devil”, or “The government is taking ‘In God We Trust’ off of money”, or “The Ten Commandments are being removed from public buildings”. These emails / conversations are not productive (Titus 3:9). Most of the time they do not accomplish anything except spreading anger and disrespect. Another reason these things bother me is that half of these emails are false! Please, do some research before you hit the forward button and add me the list, or at least insert a disclaimer if you aren't sure what is fact or fiction.

Christianity in Politics

I believe that we as Christians have an obligation to do the right thing, to do what is good. We are told this numerous times in the Bible (Romans 12:17; 1 John 3:10) So please by all means write your congressman, vote in the elections, participate, PLEASE participate. But DO NOT come to me and tell me how much of a jerk you think the President is. You know what? If you voted, awesome, if your guy didn’t win… Guess what? It’s probably because God didn’t want him in office. Look at Romans 13:1 God places people in power for a reason. It’s not our place to try and understand why (Isaiah 55:8-9.)

You know personally I don’t agree with our President, AT ALL! But I respect him. I respect that God put him in power. I remember when G.W. was in office and receiving all kinds of emails about praying for the President, praying for our leaders, for guidance. Let me ask you this. When was the last time you prayed for Barack Obama? Have you ever prayed for Barack Obama? (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

I write all of this knowing that I have been in that place of complaining about the Government, and talking trash about elected officials. Guess what? Titus 3:1-2 tells us that we are to “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men”. This is a verse we skim by and don't live by, but then agree with when in the company of other people. I hear it all the time “… but seriously I respect the president…” then two days later, another email, another complaint.

Do what is right. If you or I have the opportunity to vote, or to participate in something that will ensure the rights and freedoms we enjoy in this country, that we have been so blessed to be a part of. Do it! By all means do what is right, but don’t slander people. Don’t talk so negatively that it brings your brother or sister in Christ down, or sets a bad example to non-believers.

If you disagree with me, please write me and let’s open up a dialogue, and talk about it. Let’s find the truth and above all else let’s love one another.

Thank you,

John Popovich

P.S. I am not writing this about a particular person, or group of people. If you feel like I am writing this about you and are offended, I apologize, but maybe you should re-examine yourself, take a step back and ask yourself “Am I doing this? Do I complain all the time without ever having a solution? Does my attitude bring others down?” (Heck, I'm guilty of that sometimes!) I would also like to ask that if you are going to forward something to me that has information about an evil or injustice in the world, please give me the contact information for the senator or representative I can call, or the time and place of a town meeting. Give me information we can use to stop the bad, and enforce the good. Let’s make a difference and give the glory to God.

New Favorite song/music video

2009-07-24T08:00:00.001-07:00

I have a new favorite song right now. It's "Oblivion" by Mastodon. These guys are great, very good musicians, the story behind this song/album is crazy, very deep. You can read about it here.

Check out the video for the song Oblivion!

Back To School!

2009-07-23T18:21:00.011-07:00

So... I have been praying like a crazy person about what the next steps are in my calling to become a pastor. I have decided that I am going to go back to school!

I had been praying about my next steps and had mentioned to Sarah that I was thinking about maybe going back to school. Well, a few weeks later Sarah comes home with a folder with some information about GCU's online courses and more specifically about the BA in Christian Studies program. So I checked it out, did some research, compared other schools and well... I sent my application in on Wednesday, filled out my FAFSA stuff and signed a bunch of paperwork and it looks like I will be starting on August 31st at Grand Canyon University.

How crazy is that! It just felt like a God thing the way things started to fall together, how cool the enrollment counselor guy is, Just how perfect it is. I give all the glory to God. Sarah and I discussed that taking on debt (by way of student loans), to ultimately fulfill Gods calling on my life is an "irresponsibly, responsible" thing to do.

My Grandpa sent me this passage to encourage me and I pass it on to you.

Psalm 37:3

3"Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. 6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday."

Short Film

2009-07-04T19:01:00.003-07:00

This is a video Sarah and I made... I think it speaks for itself. It is a short film (very short 0:54sec) I love it cause the end product made Sarah laugh so hard. It is a bit French and artsy ha ha! And just for the record, "Bon Chance" is french for "Good Luck".

It Burns!

2009-07-01T20:13:00.004-07:00

This was an email Sarah sent me. I love her perspective here
Ok, so I woke up this morning and for whatever reason brought my cell phone with me in the bathroom. As I am getting ready I started hearing a lot of noises. Like a lot of little noises that sounded like they were in the backyard or in the house or something. I of course got a little freaked out and, phone in hand, was thinking about calling you. I decided to say a little prayer.
"God, if I need to be afraid right now please overwhelm me with fear. If not, please overwhelm me with peace. I trust you God."
After that I didn’t hear any more noises (for the rest of the time I was at home!) but that normally doesn’t necessarily make my fear go away. I did however burn my thumb on the curling iron – which I have never burnt myself before. And you know what? The physical pain wasn’t that bad, but it did distract me from the fear. I said another quick little prayer
"God I trust you, help me to have peace."
And I walked about the house confidently after that. And…strangely enough, I am very happy to have burnt my thumb. Physical pain does not immobilize me like fear can, and God took away my fear. God burnt my thumb…so to speak :o) Or I am looking too deeply into it all, but I would like to think I had it right the first time.
God is good. He works in the big things and in the small things. He hears every prayer of His children. How special does He think we are? How much love does He have for us? God doesn’t just scoop up His children when they fall, He sprinkles them with love and comfort to take away the pain and He bandages them up to heal the wound. God is good. Today is a great day. I love you, and I thank God that He loves me enough to entrust you, His precious child, with me. I thank God that He chose me to be one of the people that gets to express His love to you. God loves you. And so do I.
Isn't that a perfect picture of how God works in the most mysterious ways. She felt overwhelmed with peace when she gave her fear to God.

Philippians 4:6-7
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

No title...

2009-06-24T20:37:00.006-07:00

I have been praying about next steps in my calling to become a pastor. I do not think I am anywhere near qualified, in regards to being a pastor. But it doesn't matter what I think, God can use me just the way I am. God can do amazing things with so little.

I think I have been putting God in a box and that isn't right. I have been trying to be the puppet master to God, turning Him into more of a genie than an all knowing, powerful, loving God. I have grown so much in my relationship with God by having more of a 'relationship' with Him. I have been trying to keep the perspective that He is my heavenly father. (Josh Burcham wrote a very good fathers day post. You should definitely check it out)

So I want to "cut the strings" if you will, and give God even more control of my life. I want to abide in Him and I want to do whatever, whenever, however, and I want to give Him glory and praise in my walk and my relationships in life. I want to be a true Christ follower. Someone who gives without asking for anything in return, loves for no other reason than to love, as God loves me. I want to be last, so someone else can be first, I want to see joy and hope in other people's lives and I want to see God change those lives. I want to rely on my heavenly father to provide for me and give me comfort in troubled times. I want to bring the GOOD NEWS to other people. The good news being, that there is a God, who loves us and wants to be with us. He sent His only son to die for us on a cross, and all He asks from us is to believe that Jesus is His son. To believe that someone perfect came and died for an imperfect people. To believe that we cannot do it on our own, but that we need Jesus.

There is so much going on in my head right now. I am definitely going to write more this weekend. As well as change the rotors out in Sarah's car, they are warped and that's why her car vibrates when she puts on the brakes. ANYWAY... I have to go. Later

Near Death Experience

2009-06-22T16:42:00.005-07:00

So this is totally a true story... I went to the river with my Wife and some friends (who will remain nameless to protect the innocent ha ha) Anywhoo we were floating along in a group of 7 and we hit a fast current, that's not so bad except that the current was taking us toward a rock wall. Again not so bad except there were people there who had already got stuck. So we collided with them and besides my best efforts to stay a float I well, fell overboard. Of course I corrected my position and start to head up to the surface except I am going nowhere and the dark silhouette of the recently vacated tube started to disappear, I then realized I was being sucked under by the current colliding with the wall.

I was struggling and kicking like crazy, but I wasn't getting anywhere. Well many things ran through my head, one being "do I swim sideways, no that's the ocean... crap what do I do?" then I started thinking "well I guess this is how I go... sucking in salt river pee water!" then it hit me... the rock wall, no literally I hit the rock wall, hard! Then I grabbed a hold of the wall, planted my feet on the side of it and pushed up and to the right. Then I started kicking, and grabbing, and pulling, then I see the dark ring again, and this time it's getting closer and closer. Then I break through the dark, green, hazy water and find myself in the middle of a different group of people. I hear a voice say "did he pop up yet" I look around and see that there were rescue people at the top of the rock wall just looking down in the water, waiting for me to pop up. No problem, it's not like I could have used the help, sheesh! I then swam over to my group and saw my wife crying, it was so sad I felt horrible for scaring her like that.

So there it is, my brush with death, it could have been a lot worse, and it wasn't so thank God for that. I just remember the desperate feeling of "I need air now, and the surface has completely disappeared" like for a second I had accepted the fact that I was going to drown and my limp body would be tossed around the under current, then pinned against the rock wall. But surprisingly, I never panicked, I just kept trying, and if it wasn't for hitting that rock wall, I don't know...

At the end of the day all I know is God is good. I have no doubt He helped me out of that scary situation.

My week in Images

2009-06-18T21:17:00.005-07:00

So... here are some images from my week. We have some kinda crazy designs that are completely original artwork (done in Adobe Illustrator) then we have a nice little icon that I'm not 100% about yet. Then a nice photoshoped/vector image of myself (cause I'm cool) then a picture of me today going to Circle K for a snack. Then last but not least my Smokin Hot Wife! We went to her parents house on Tuesday as soon as she got off work. I helped hook up a TV and sound system for them. Anyway I had a Great week so far, Later Gator.

Christian Music (part II)

2009-06-18T16:17:00.006-07:00

You know I realized today as I re-read my last post that... I may have come across the wrong way. I am simply saying that I do not like the Contemporary style of Christian music. Much in the same way I do not like the Country style of secular music.

The issue for me is that the Contemporary style is what is being represented AS Christian music. There are other good bands/groups out there, but it seems that we (as Christians) bring forward this very cheesy... almost fake side of Christian music. That style of music conjures up a picture in my head that Christians are hypocritical, or ridiculously out of touch with reality*. It also makes me wonder what non-Christians think of us. I know of a few good bands and I want to know what else is out there. I know I came across harsh, it was the heat of the moment. I hope this explains a bit more of my frustration.

*the reality being, we live in a harsh imperfect world and we have peace and joy through Christ despite our circumstances. It's like they are in a bubble of happy land and are only willing to share that with themselves. I personally believe that a non-Christian would be more willing to listen to someone they can relate to, and I personally want to be all things to all people for the Glory of God. 1 Corinthians 9:22

please note that I realize this is a sweeping generalization and there are of course exceptions.

Christian Music...

2009-06-16T20:51:00.002-07:00

I need help. I have an issue I am going to share with you. I mean this is a problem I have and I am admitting this is a problem I need to fix.
Every time I hear the words "Christian rock band" I cringe. Then when I actually hear "Christian Music" I get agitated and pissed. I think Christian music is terrible. There I said it. It sucks (to me). It all sounds the same, it's cheesy over the top "I love Jesus THIS much" music. Even the names of the groups sound the same Chad-W-Micheal-Hall-David-Smith or whatever and it's like they are all covering the same song! Now praise music during worship, that's different. When I sing a song to my Lord it can be whatever (as long as it's not distracting). But "Christian Music" just all sounds like its ripping off secular music. There are bands out there that are outstanding out there that just so happen to be Christian. These band tour with secular bands and get a bad rap from the "Christian Music" world... last time I checked even Marilyn Manson needs Jesus. I remember P.O.D. got crap from everyone when they toured with Manson and Zombie and some of those other guys, even Chevelle (who I love by the way) just happens to be Christian.

I need to get over it. I need help. I'm just irritated. The same way I am irritated that "Christian Movies" usually suck!

I need you (who ever reads this) to recommend some GOOD Christian bands that don't suck. I have been turned off by Christian music for so long I havent even had the patience to search for any. So I am looking for some recomendations of music that's so good, and NOT over the top that I could have it on at a party and say "hey interesting fact, these guys are a Christian Band" and the reponse would be "WOW! But these guys are really good"

Peace out

Answering the Call

2009-06-09T18:20:00.002-07:00

The following is a modified email I recently sent to my family:

I have had a very interesting past couple of years. I got married and bought a house with my wonderful wife Sarah, I tried planting a church with a good friend of mine, I was promoted at work to the department head of engineering, and I have worried about my company going out of business. But one of the greatest things that has happened is that in the past few months I have been meeting with a couple of guys in accountability and discipleship. I have been challenged, and I have been examining my heart and where God wants me. I have been struggling with wanting to know what I have been called to do on this earth. One thing for sure is that I am called to live a life with Christ in his love, to Love God and to Love others, and to go and make disciples of men.

I think I have always known what it was that God has called me to do, but it's almost as if I kept avoiding the subject. I have never thought I was good enough, talented enough, or anywhere near what I think is the standard by which most people judge this calling. The truth is, I am right, but, God can use the least of us to do amazing things.

I was asked on a Friday night (May 29th) by a good friend of mine if I thought I was called to be a Pastor. My gut reaction to this question (that has never been asked of me FLAT out like that) was yes. So here I am, finally accepting the FACT that God can use me to do amazing things. I told Sarah this when I came home that night at 2 in the morning, and she asked me how I felt about that. I was honest with her and I will be honest with you. I told her I was scared. I am scared because I am trusting God but that is also why I am not hysterical, or quitting, God has given me the strength to face my fears and be a Pastor.

Now you may be asking, "Well if this is new to you then what was the whole church plant thing about?". Well when I had teamed up with my good friend Josh Burcham, I was joining him as the "creative arts pastor", to me that was just a fancy name for the guy that did the graphics and artwork and creative stuff for the Church. My Calling to be a pastor is more than that. I know now that I was no where near where I needed to be to help plant a church. I have learned so much in the past couple of years about me and my relationship with God and where I was and where I needed to be.

I have found that God has been speaking to me through My friends in my Monday night Bible study, the guys I meet with on Tuesdays, Sarah (of course), and my Family. These are people I trust, people I know are rooted in the gospel and have amazing relationships with God. So now I ask God. What do I do now? What is my next step?

I am asking for your prayer. Prayer that I might be patient in waiting for God to tell me what to do, prayer that I might be listening when He speaks to me, and prayer that I will be obedient to what He asks of me.

Try to keep up

2009-06-04T19:38:00.003-07:00

The following is a list of stuff that has been on my mind:

I have decided to change my path and follow what has God has called me to be.... a Pastor (Believe me I will write more on that later)

In the last month I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator, 17 Again, and they were all decent movies, I really liked Star Trek it was great.

Work has been great, not very satisfying, but it will do for now...

I want to do more artwork, I have a canvas sitting on an easel in a room all to myself with no inspiration. I have done some computer artwork in Illustrator and photoshop but no hand illustaration

I also want to do some photography, it's been a while.

I am loving my Monday night group and my Tuesday afternoon group, this monday we are bringing food and playing games.

My little Neice isnt so little anymore! She is so cute, My Sister and Adam have a site up with all kinds of pictures and videos @ http://www.lessland.com/

I love my Wife so much!!!

Been out of the loop for a while

2009-05-27T08:29:00.002-07:00

I have been... gone. For a while. Take that how you will. I have been meeting with some friends on Mondays, going through 1st and 2nd Corinthians, and meeting with a great group of guys on Tuesdays and growing a lot spiritually. I want to share more of what I am learning, and processing. A good friend of mine Josh Burcham does that over on his Blog a lot, and I want to join him in sharing my experiences. I am going to try and keep up on this blog a bit more.

No Title... No Need

2009-04-02T10:35:00.002-07:00

I'd like to make a toast to not posting to my blog in over a month... way to stay current John-Boy!

I'm so lame, I promise I will have more blog post soon. Pics, stories, videos, etc

Here's your hope and change!

2009-02-20T13:42:00.002-07:00

This has been all over the news... it's about time somebody said it!!!

Brent's stop motion

2009-02-05T11:14:00.002-07:00

Brent made an awesome stop motion video. I HAVE to make another one.

Why is this happening to me?!?!

2009-02-03T12:18:00.001-07:00

I found this video on my lunch break... SO funny!!!!

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Just bought a new bike

2009-01-21T07:10:00.002-07:00

I went out and bought a bike last night. Sarah and I want to ride bikes so I got mine. It's a 26" Jeep Compass Limited comfort bike.... yeah. It's pretty cool. I like it. It's not like a "serious" mountain bike, but it will work for me, for the time being.

Cant wait to hit the trails with Schuyler!

First Stop Motion

2009-01-15T22:06:00.001-07:00

Pictures From Christmas and New Years

2009-01-07T20:08:00.001-07:00

We Have Internet!!!

2009-01-05T16:00:00.004-07:00

It has been oh so long since we last the internet. At last woo hoo!!! Let the party begin!

Oh what shall we blog about.

We had Becca and Adam and the baby Abbey visit us for Christmas and New Years! We had my Grandparents in town as well, lets see ummmmm Brent and Stephanie made it back from Germany in one piece... oh I'm getting a Shotgun tomorrow (very exciting) I uhhhh had a great past couple of weeks. I will be posting pictures and things soon. I will probably be spending most of my time this week online catching up with profile pictures and blogging, and downloading songs (legally), and paying bills and basically destroying my brain cells with senseless internet videos of dogs riding skateboards, and previews for Star Trek XI and Wolverine.

I'm so excited:

See you later!

Workin' hard for the money

2008-12-10T20:03:00.002-07:00

The past couple of weeks have been hard. Just a lot of stuff to do, and little time to do it.

This is way off subject (like I had a subject) but uh I bought this Bethoven CD, it's like 24 of his greatest hits. It's a 2 CD set. And I have to say I really like it! I think the structure and genius of this type of music is great. I do have a secret appreciation for the symphony. My first CD was the soundtrack to Chrimson Tide. Hanz Zimmer is awesome. I love this stuff, 3 years ago Sarah and I went to The Phoenix Symphony in downtown phoenix, I don't remember who or what. But it was awesome. It's kind of embarassing because I do enjoy it so much, but I have not invested time in knowing more about it. So it's like I cant talk about it with anyone, cause I have no idea what I'm talking about. Ahhh whatever

I still haven't put up pictures of the house. I should though. It looks great!

I am so random.

Oh I put up a bunch of pictures on my Facebook if you want to check it out.

Brents Party

2008-11-01T18:27:00.004-07:00

Creeeeepy!!!

still no internet... how embarassing

2008-10-29T18:55:00.001-07:00

So I am at paradise bakery right now. I made a promise to myself this week to go somewhere with internet and put up a few things...

1. Post Pictures from my epic journey to Vegas with Schuyler

2. Post pictures from my epic journey to the wilderness with Brent

3. Post pictures from the Halloween party we went to Saturday night

So first and foremost I will post some pics from our trip to Vegas (me and Schuyler). Before I do this I have to tell you a little about our trip. We went to Vegas to see the Star Trek experience at the Vegas Hilton before they closed it in September. So we boldly go to the Hilton. We spend a few hours in the experience, saw an awesome timeline that has like every event in all of Star Trek, we saw some awesome memorabilia and we went through the Klingon attack ride thing and saw... are you ready... the Bridge of the enterprise... yeah the freakin bridge. I don't think it was the real bridge from The Next Generation but it was an awesome replica. I was so distracted by its coolness I missed the storyline that was going on. So we did that a couple times. Then we went on the Borg 4d thing it was equally as cool. Anyway enough nerd talk here's some pictures.

Camping

2008-10-29T18:27:00.007-07:00

So here is my camping picture post. We spent some time alone with God, we went hiking (alot) and I learned that when you trust in God he will put you on the right path, and when you trust in man (a GPS) you get lost... and hike 5 miles in circles!

here are pics:

Brent Busted his head on this branch... so funny!

DIE GPS...

DIE!!!

No internet

2008-09-08T07:50:00.002-07:00

We have been moved in for a week and we don't have Internet yet. We had Qwest at the apartment but they don't have service at the new house. We are like right on the border. Anyway we may have to get Cox Internet or something.

So yeah we painted our bedroom this weekend and last weekend we painted the painted the house no wait, yeah we painted, then we went furniture shopping. It was awesome.

In case you didn't know we did get a house at 43rd and Union hills. We are excited and living the life. We have the TV all hooked up and if you know I mean HOOKED UP!!! We are enjoying movies and free HBO (for the time being). I think we are going to upgrade to HD DVR but we'll see.

SO it's been a while since I wrote anything on here. I think I will write more when I get home then save it on a flash drive, and post it on my lunch break or something. I have so many pictures to post. Especially from my trip to Vegas with Schuyler. It was SICK and like a month ago or something. ANYHOOO I'll be back, with pictures, and stories, and thoughts, and oh wow was that a sweeet knockout last night, Rashad Evans put out Chuck Liddell's lights, like I mean Chuck didn't pay his bills and Evans went to his house and put his lights out! It was crazy!!!

See ya later

Peace...

I'm outy...

Whatever

What's happenin'

2008-07-26T16:42:00.002-07:00

I havent blogged here in a loooong time. But just in case someone is reading this. This is what's been goin' on...

Sarah and I had to pull our offer on the house we were trying to get. It just seemed like they were dragging out forever. I don't know why they were doing what they were doing but Sarah and I feel it's all for the best.

We have been going crazy trying find a new place. Our lease ends August 31st and as of now, we will be homeless! Good news is, we are going out this Sunday to look some more.

I have been super busy with work, and home stuff. We switched to a 4 day 10 hour work week. It's cool I get Fridays off but I don't as much time in the day to do stuff. It's all good I love having my 3 day weekends.

Schuyler and I are going to Vegas for the Star Trek Experience... I'll take pictures :o)

The Ridgepoint website has been updated as of today. The look and feel is so much better than before, lets face it at first our site was uuuuuglayyy.

This past weekend was amazing. My Sister and Adam came into town from Maryland with my baby niece Abigail Christine Moreland. She is so stinkin' cute it's not even funny. We also had my brother in town from California. It was a great family weekend. We had dinners, lunches, shooting guns, hugging babies, the UFC and my Uncle Rob. It was pretty cool. Here are some pictures.

Exciting

2008-05-14T21:56:00.002-07:00

Ok not really but we are getting closer and closer to the reality of our church coming together. We have decided on the Logo and we have our Core Values squared away. I'm not good at the Blogging thing, but I'll do my best to keep everyone up to date on the going's on of Ridgepoint. Right now we are getting PO boxes and things squared away. I am tired and I feel ickey. So I am going to bed. Oh OH oh oH I almost forgot! I will finally get to meet my neice for the first time next week, I'm excited and you bet there will be pictures.

Later

We're here doing our thing!

2008-04-21T20:43:00.004-07:00

So we're here in Florida. We just had our first day, it was our pre-conference intensive, our track was creative communication with Mark Batterson. Cool dude, he's the lead pastor at National Community Church in D.C. I'll have to blog in more detail about that some other time. But uh anyway I want to give a shout out to all the people that made this trip possible, with out your support and prayers we wouldn't be here working to further the Lords kingdom. Seriously we have just started the conference and I am so excited to se what else is in store for us in the coming days. Mucho love to you all, I have some great pics and funny stories to tell... later.

Peace

Just tell us already!!!

2008-04-16T11:50:00.004-07:00

Haven't really had a lot going on lately. Just patiently waiting to hear from the Lender that owns the house we are trying to buy. Everybody is good to go, our mortgage people, our realtor, the listing agent, the previous home owner, the PMI people, everybody wants this thing to happen. We are just waiting to get the lenders approval... or disapproval of our offer. At this point I would be content if we did or did not get the house I am just tired of waiting! Here's a pic of the front of the house, it's at 115th and Olive and is seriously a nice house at a GREAT price.

So anyway, other than all of that, it's my birthday on Sunday, I am also leaving for the conference on Sunday. My flights at 3:00 and I'll be in Florida for a few days. I'm excited. I will definately be home sick and writing email's like a crazy person. At the same time I think it will be a nice break from work.

Oh yeah I almost forgot we finally have a name for the church... it's Ridge Point. I like it! So be checking that site out soon for some killer updates and info.... no pressure!

Looooong Time

2008-03-28T10:10:00.002-07:00

So it's been a very long time since my last post. I know you all have missed me huh. Yeah right who reads this? Anyway, we have been super busy with trying to buy a new home. I would post details and updates and all of that fun stuff, however, I would hate to have to write that post that says: "never mind all of the excitement, we didn't get it" that would suck, so I'm keeping it real simple and just say we are trying to buy a house.

On another note. We are good to go for Exponential '08. We have our tickets and just need to take care of a few minor expenses but we are very excited to see what God will show us on this trip. I know Josh has been sharing a lot of personal insight on his life and his relationship with God. I hope I can do that too... I just don't know if I'm ready yet... I'll get over it, it's not that I'm afraid of what people will say about me, it's that I may have one perspective in the morning and something completely different that night, or that I would come across the wrong way or write it wrong, I have a hard time expressing myself in words. Ahh whatever. I'll give it a shot later.

See ya on the flippity flop!

Random Stuffoni!

2008-02-20T16:27:00.006-07:00

So I have been pretty bad at not posting regularly like I wanted. So here are some little random thoughts:

To all you hipsters out there wearing t-shirts with Che Guevara on them. Stop it! Do you even know who he was? He was a murdering communist, and if you really knew what he stood for, you wouldn’t be wearing is image on your body, or maybe you would because you're a socialist-liberal who doesn’t care about freedom!
Whew... anyway looking forward to a new episode of Lost tomorrow :)
I need to talk to Josh about where we are at with our Florida trip to Exponential '08
It's my birthday in a couple months... don’t really know what I want/want to do yet.
Work is crazy and people are disappointing I pray for patience and opportunities to share God's love. Even if it's just showing up for work and doing my job as if I were doing it for God.
I don't think I'll be voting this year... The president works for us right? So in a sense we are his employer. If I were an employer interviewing people for an important position, I think I would want to interview more people for the Job and not have to pick from the losers I've already seen. Ah this election is gonna suck! Are there any good candidates out there or are we stuck with the republicrat McCaine (Bacrak and Billary aren’t even an option)
I pray that doubt leaves my mind and I am filled with love, faith, and hope!

Have a good one and I'll see ya next time!

The Mist

2008-02-20T16:07:00.004-07:00

I went to the Bell Canyon Pavilion 8 theatres yesterday and saw Steven Kings "The Mist". It was $1.50 Tuesday and so I thought... why not. Well, the movie was great no doubt. It's about this mist that rolls into a small town after a big storm hits, and something in this mist is killing people. What's cool about this movie is that I was more horrified about what was happening among the people taking refuge in a grocery store, than I was when they ventured into the dangerous mist. This movie really dives into what can happen when fear strikes at the heart of man. They do a very good job in explaining the psychology of how, when people are scared enough, you can get them to do just about anything. The effects were awesome and the storyline was great. The ending was very... Wow! I recommend this movie, there is no nudity, there are a few curse words but not so much it takes away from the movie going experience. I must say, the "bad lady" in the movie is shown twisting the word of God around and manipulating people through fear, and I think it was done in such an extreme way, that someone who has no knowledge of Christianity would be able tell that this lady was NUTZ and not preaching Gods true message of salvation. Well I hope someone would recognize that’s not what Christians believe.

So on a side note: It was $1.50 Tuesday and, there plenty of talkers, people on cell phones, and people who feel the need to get up every 2 minutes to pee or snort crack or whatever it was they were doing. So yes cheap movies are fun, but uh the crowd is what you would expect.

Lost Season 4... our reactions

2008-02-09T10:43:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody. If you dont watch Lost you're probably a communist and hate America! Just kidding but really... anyway I want to put some pictures that show our reactions to the insanity that is ABC's LOST....booom...... that was the uh, nevermind, so lets do this:

In our last episode we see our people split into two groups the Jack group, and the Locke group. The Jack group find three people from the "rescue" team and Locke's group finds one, so that puts us at: Jack-3, Locke-1. Jacks winning! Now we need to keep track with who takes who from who and who allows/kills who.... ya follow me. Ok so here are our (Sarah and I's) reaction to the events from the last two episodes of Lost:

Lost is finally back!

Hurley tells Claire Charlie is Dead

Jack pulls the trigger on Locke

Locke says he is listening to Walt (when asked where he's getting his orders from)

The "rescue" team says they came to the island to get Ben! We have to wait till next week!

So yeah if you don't watch lost you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's ok nobodys perfect.

I would like to talk more about it but I dont have all day! I gots things to do, people to see, lasagna to eat!!! ohh yeah see ya later!

You know it's the right thing!

2008-01-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

You know you are doing the right thing when you want to tell the world about it. When you have nothing but positive reactions when you do tell people about it. I have recently made a comitment to start a Church with a good friend of mine Josh. Ever since I told Josh I was with him on this, and told God I would follow him and his will in my life, I have been so excited. I have told as many people as I can. I wrote an email to my Dad telling him what God has been doing in my life and he read it to my Mom and she cried (happy tears). I have had nothing but positive reaction to all of this. I cant wait to see the idea become a reality and see Gods word spread like a wildfire! AH ha yeah baby wooo!

CMYK and me

2008-01-29T17:30:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Lot's of graphic art geek talk ahead

For those of you that don't know CMYK are the four colors commonly used in printing, professionally printing. C-cyan (a blueish color), M-magenta (a purplish color), Y-yellow (a bannanaish color) and K-Black (like your soul!!! j/k). Ok with that technicality out of the way, I had an experience the other day where I needed to send some artwork to a printer. This printer, upon review of my first submission, told me it would be better to use a 2 color process for this particular job (thus eliminating one of the 4 colors commonly used, in this case M&Y). He then requested that I send him a file in EPS or PDF format that had only Cyan and Black or Black and a spot color (a color from the Pantone Matching System). So I did my darnedest to figure out how to get my cool brushed steel effect and logo overlay done in this cool gunmetal blue. Well to cut the story short I was accused of sending him a file that had locked channels and needed to send him a file with unlocked channels. I searched the Internet looking for how to unlock channels. Couldn't find anything. Anyway I ended up removing all traces of M and Y from my artwork, and low and behold M and Y were hiding out in my black mixture. AH HA I said to my self. So after I eradicated yellow and magenta from every inch of my 24x36 monstrosity, I sent him the file in EPS format with the Yellow and Magenta channels deleted from the Channels palette, just to make sure. I haven't heard anything from this guy in 2 days. I guess no news is good news.

I have no reason or purpose to tell that story. Only to document a great victory, I will look back upon this post and say again "AH HA" and laugh... because I'll probably get a call a half an hour before I have to go home from this guy telling me to fix it and resend it!

PS. I hate doing pre-press setup crap!

It's been a while

2008-01-27T20:22:00.000-07:00

Check out my wifes Blog, she's cool, I love her and stuff... click on the image below for the Blog of Sarah Marie Popovich!

Hello Blog world. I have been gone a while, from blogging anyway. So too much has happened for me to try and write about it all. I guess I'll do a bullet point thing that seems to be so popular.

I am so excited about some decisions I have to make. The only thing is, I am really excited about one of the things, and feel very so so about the other. My big decision is whether or not I can do both. So well see what the Lord does.

I had a big movie day on Saturday, Sarah and I walked to Harkins and watched Mad Money at 12:45 and Rambo at 4:40. We had some sushi at Koi Sushi for lunch it was great. They have this roll (I can't remember the name of it) but it's like a roll that's deep fried and cut in half and it has this sweet sauce that just makes it scrumptious. The movies were pretty good. Mad Money was what I expected it to be... a chick movie that was kinda predictable and I probably could have waited for it come out on TBS. Rambo was very graphic and very fast paced. The story was very to the point and the depiction of the genocide and atrocity's of a 60+ year civil war in Burma was very hard to watch. All in all it was great movie day.

We are finishing up our book "Plastic Jesus" and it has really opened up my eyes to my relationship with God. I am seeing how, in my life, I have done things because I'm suppose to and not because I want too. That is something, among many others, that I need to straighten out in my life.

We are house sitting for my parents this coming weekend. My Mom flew out to Maryland on Wednesday to be with my Sister and Adam and their new born baby girl, Abagail Christine Moreland. My Dad flies out this Friday and so we (Sarah and I) are taking care of things for them until my Dad comes back on Monday. Please pray for a safe trip.

Back to this decision I have to make... I feel this pull, this unexplained call to minister to people, to share Gods love and free gift of salvation. I want to focus my time and energy on doing that. I have lived my Christian life not ever having led someone to Christ on a personal level. I want to change that, I want to share with more people, I want to see Gods kingdom grow. Yeah so no pressure right. Ha ha I want to do the best I can with the talents I have for the Glory of God.

Well then that's all I can think of to write about for now. Oh yeah I saw a movie called Idiocracy today, it was interesting and pretty funny. Thanks Andrew for that recommendation. Oh yeah I am totally looking forward to UFC this Saturday, Brock Lesner is fighting Frank Mir and I could go on about what I think of that fight. I guess I'll have to blog about that later. So yeah I love you all and uh Peace out!

what's hapenin'

2008-01-10T13:32:00.000-07:00

Nothing much going on here. with the exception of a phone call at 5:55am from my Dad telling me that my sister (who is due to shoot out a kid) was in the hospital but they might send her home because her contractions weren't close enough together or something. So I guess they did send her home and I can imagine she's at home probably freaking out thinking "this is it, there's no turning back" :) ha ha

On another note I found out my brothers info... like who he's working for. He is in the 3rd Battalion, First Marines, Lima Company, 1st Platoon. Whew, what a mouth full. Please Keep him in your prayers.

You know what I would like to do... This is crazy and I wouldn't even know where to begin to try and achieve such a thing but, if my brother went to Afghanistan, I would love to follow him with a camera and do a documentary type thing you know. Go for a month and do a movie about the life of US Marines in Afghanistan. I know it's been done, but I've never done it. Maybe I should focus on finishing up some other projects that need to get done first.

Back to California

2008-01-06T21:35:00.000-07:00

My baby brother Justin Dakota Popovich, I'm sorry PFC Popovich, Justin D. took the long journey back to Camp Pendleton, his permanent duty station for the next 5-6 months. Please pray for him as we don't know exactly where he'll go after that. We have been told either Afganastan or Japan. We're hoping its Japan... I have to be honest for a moment. As much as I would hate for my brother to be in danger for his life... I think it would suck for him to not see any action, he has been under the most intense training of his life, they have been teaching him how to fire his weapon and how to kill in close quarters combat. I think if it were me and I have been training for months in combat and that training is all I have ever known and then I don't get to see any action for the duration of my stay in United States Marine Corps (the best branch of military by the way) I think I would come home and probably kill someone! So I think it would be cool for him to go to the "sand box" fire a couple rounds into a terrorist stronghold, overtake the enemy and come home safe with a few medals on his chest. Above all I pray for his safety.

Sarah proof read my post for me and I asked her what she thought and she said:

"your not hoping he gets into danger, he's a bad ass and he needs to know it by blowing a couple bad guys away"

Eating sushi as an act of worship?!?

2008-01-06T19:54:00.000-07:00

Here me out... I had an amazing Saturday. First off I went and shot my new gun at Ben Avery Shooting Facility. It was nice I was there for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and put about 200 rounds through my Stoeger. Then I came home cleaned my gun relaxed a little bit. Then Sarah and I went to Deer Valley 30 and saw Atonement... It was good it wasn't great but it was good. I'm not gonna review or recommend it, it was a sad chick movie, that's pretty much it. Anyway here's the best part. Sarah and I then went to RA sushi. We ordered 3 rolls, a fried calamari roll, shrimp tempura roll and a crazy monkey roll. It took forever for our rolls to come out so the waitress offered us a dessert or appetizer and we opted for the pork gyoza (pot sticker). So now I'll skip to the crazy monkey roll. It has smoked salmon, cream cheese, and mango all rolled up with avocado, cashews, and tempura flakes on top with some sweet sauce drizzled on top of that. The texture is a bit crazy but the flavor explosion is out of this world.

As I devoured my half of the roll piece by piece I was filled with joy and appreciation and all I think to do was praise God for giving me taste buds, praise God for giving the chef the talent to create such a tasty dish. The point is all I could think of while I ate the BEST crazy monkey roll I have ever had, was praising the all powerful, wonderful, loving God who pours out his abundant gifts to us. I would like to think that appreciating the sushi on Saturday was an act of worship in giving glory to God and his prodigal nature for the infinite flavor combinations he gave us in this wonderful world.

New Gun & Camera

2008-01-01T19:59:00.000-07:00

So I made a couple new purchases... I/we bought a new camera it's an Olympus FE-300 it's a 12 mega pixel camera I bought on sale at Fry's Electronics, it was a one time deal I couldn't pass it up.

I have also purchased a new firearm... it is a Stoeger 9mm Cougar 8000 series. I love it, it came with 2 magazines that hold 15 rounds each, it's so sexy, it's double action and has a decocker mechanism. The slide is so smooth I can't wait to shoot it. I also bought 250 rounds of ammo, yeah they have a lot of good deals going on at Sportsmans Warehouse. WOOT WOOT baby!

Look at that huh! So I guess I have made it clear where I stand on home security.

Happy New Year and Stuff

2008-01-01T19:29:00.000-07:00

Hello there. Boy it has been a busy weekend. Sarah and I have been hangin' out doin the married people thing. My brother asked his girlfriend to marry him, she's pretty cool and they are planning on having a long engagement. We had lunch at her parents house. Her father is the senior pastor at Palm Vista Baptist Church. Their whole family is pretty cool. It's funny because both of my Grandpa's were Pastors, my Dad was a youth pastor, and now my brothers father in law will be a pastor... wowa wee wa!!! My brothers kid will end up being the anti-Christ watch ha ha just kidding!

So yeah other than that I am so excited to start our bible study up again I have missed it so much. I am also excited to see where or what God wants me to do. I have a weird feeling it will be something to do with media arts for a new Church... I have been talking to two different people who want to start a church, one is further along than the other, but I have worked more with one of the two and I know it will be a blast to start something with them. I hate being ambiguous about all of this but I don't want to use names until I have figured it all out... ha ha well... once I figure it all out I wont need God anymore and we all no that day will NEVER come. (the day I don't need God)

AVP-R

2007-12-27T11:15:00.000-07:00

I watched Alien Versus Predator: Requiem yesterday with my Dad and Brother. Overall it was good. I will probably buy on DVD. Before I get into what I did and didn't like about this movie, I will tell you what I didn't like about the first AVP.

The first AVP had a decent story with crap action. It's PG-13 rating only allowed for mild violence, so we didn't get to see any skinned bodies hanging upside sown (a trademark of the Predator franchise) and the action was very, I don't know, made for TV. We also had a love story or whatever with the female lead and the predator. Yeah it was gay, they were buddies :o) So I was disappointed in the first AVP.

The second AVP was great when it came to the action (rated R by the way). At the start of the film we pick up where the other movie left off. An alien egg hatches from the deceased predator body aboard a predator ship, this "predalien" hybrid downs the ship and kills it's crew. The ship crashes outside a small town in Colorado. The predalien survives and so do a few facehuggers, the aliens begin to wreak havoc on the townsfolk. Meanwhile on the Predator home world, a predator nicknamed by the world wide web as "wolf" (a reference to Harvey Kietels character in Pulp Fiction) is dispatched to "clean up" the mess. Boy what a mess. Like I said the story was "eh", we were introduced to characters, but we didn't care about them. The dialogue was very generic. Overall I would give this movie 3 out of 5 stars. The action was awesome!

Christmas weekend

2007-12-26T11:48:00.000-07:00

Wow what a crazy past 4 days... well not that crazy just full. I would first and foremost like to that God for sending his son to earth 2000-some odd years ago.

I want to thank Jesus Christ for his selfless act, and for the gift salvation.

I would also like to thank Randy and Carol for the Maxtor "one touch" 120gb external hard drive, and my parents for the sweet super sharp knives and kick butt Husky multi tools, and I would like to thank my wife for my killer sexy Armitron watch! So yeah, oh I also received Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate that comes bundled with Bias Sound Soap woo hoo, I cant wait to start making movies again. It also came with a 3' x 5' (maybe bigger) green screen. Heck yes!!! so yeah there you have it!

My brother and I are going to see Alien Versus Predator Requiem later today (4:00) when he gets off of work. I hope this movie is better than the first AVP cause it kinda sucked. I will give a review later tonight.

I hope you all had a very blessed very merry Christmas!

Not Yet

2007-12-20T18:19:00.000-07:00

Ok I know I said I was going to give my take on the Apocalypse but I think I need to do a little more study on the subject. So uh look for that one in the future ok. OK, I guess I'll write about what I want to do... I have so many things I want to do:

I want to Paint a picture or something for our house
I want to sketch more
Try to write a screenplay... then film it, even if it is low budget and crappy it will be mine!
I've started a book, sort of, I have the foundations laid out. I just need to start piecing it together.
I want to make more videos. I really want to make a RotoScoped video, I bought a tablet to use with Photoshop and I have barely used it. This is the tool I would use to RotoScope. So I need to get crackin'

That's just a taste of what I want to do. Then there are the thing's I need to do. I think above all I need to glorify God with my work, even if it doesn't have a gospel message, it needs to reflect hard work and dedication in the name of God. I hope that makes sense. I really need to get into the Bible a little more. Then I can do a little bloggin' about the apocalypse...

Snow Day!!!

2007-12-20T09:24:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we had a snow day. That’s right, Sarah and I took the day off yesterday to go play in the snow with Brent and Stephanie. It was awesome and butt cold out! It wasn’t that bad once we started moving around and climbing hills and what-not. It was a blast I’ll have to put some pictures up when I get ‘em from Brent.

A funny thing happened when we were out there. There was a family out there at the hill we we’re playing at, and there was a kid there that was acting like an absolute BRAT! I think what happened was he hurt/upset one of the other kids and the “parents” said ok were leaving. But this little rotund fella said “NO” and kept grabbing his sled from his mother, and running back up the hill. He then proceeded to tell his parents he hated them, and that they were all stupid, then he kicked snow at, and hit, his dad as they tried to collect him to leave… These “parents” never raised their voices or their hand at this little devil child! Ahhhh so I’m not gonna tell someone else how to raise their kids BUT I know when I have mine, and IF they act like that (they won’t) you better believe there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth…. Ha ha but that didn’t ruin our trip, we had fun bustin’ our butts on jumps and just flyin’ around the icy snow. Ahhh yes good times!

I’ll write a little more later tonight. On another subject… maybe, lets see… how about what I think about the apocalypse and revelation, ohh yeah that sounds good.

Later

Not off to a good start

2007-12-18T05:53:00.000-07:00

Ok so I wanted to this this on a regular basis. I'm going to try even if it's just a little bit everyday.

So I was thinking about Superheroes on my way to work. I was thinking, in particular, about the big three. Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. I was thinking that with their abilities (even Batman) they could have easily been bad guys. I think the true heroes in these stories are the parents, or parent figures (grandparents, butler). If these guys, Superman especially, were raised by abusive, or ill-tempered parent figures the outcome would have been very bad. Imagine an alcoholic Superman with a god-complex. So I applaud the parents of Superman, Mr. and Mrs. Kent you did a good job there. I know I could have gone a little deeper into that or I could have saved this for Mothers day, but it was on my mind.

We watched Mr. Brooks last night. Very Good movie, very disturbing movie. I would recommend it, although there is nudity and the EFF word... but it had a great story. Isn't it funny how we justify profanity, murder, lust, and all other representations of sin by saying "...but it had a good story". I think... I don't know what to think about that. I do know that Sarah and I are of the maturity level that we can watch a movie that has violence and murder and not go out and kill cats because "the guy in the movie said killing was fun", or go out and look in the girls shower at a gym, because "she looked like that hot actress in that movie and and I wanted to see if her boobs look the same". You know crap like that! I know that there's a lot worse stories in the bible involving lust, murder, and nudity...

I don't know where I was going with that, I guess what I'm saying is, if you cant handle a nude scene in a movie and you start freaking out and turning into Steve Urkel when he's around Laura, maybe you shouldn't watch movies with nudity, or brief nudity (butt cracks and side boob). Ha that would be a great name for a blog "Butt Cracks and Side Boob"

Crazy Sunday!

I don't really know what to write here... I'm kinda new. So I guess I'll talk about my day.

Today Sarah and I woke up and we went to church (Palm croft Baptist Church). The service was really good, we had a couple Christmas songs that were jazzed up a little bit with some electric guitar and sweet drum beats. I have to say that my favorite Christmas song is "Holy Night", there is a line in the song that gives me chills every time I hear it: "Fall on Your knees"... I guess I get chills because it's what EVERYONE should do in the presence of Jesus. I love that song as long as it's not too over the top you know.

So service was great and Pastor (Jim Bull) deviated from our journey through Mark to talk a little bit about the Virgin birth and what it means. I wish I could paste his message word for word, it was great. Pastor Jim is definitely in tune with the Lord and speaks his word!

Olive Garden Used to be nice:

After church we went to Olive Garden. Yeah the mullets and spandex were out in full force today! I mean seriously, I thought the OG was suppose to be a semi-nice restaurant. NOPE there were all kinds of hillbilly freaks out today. I won't dive too deep into it but uh yeah maybe a shower... a shirt with sleeves... pants that fit, even baggy pants, just please no tight muffin-top pants PLEASE!

So I guess that's the end of today, oh I also got onto iTunes (for the first time) and downloaded a few songs for Sarah. The playlist is called "Sarah's Sexy Groove" so you can imagine the songs she requested.

Ok so this is my first post, and I plan on making many many more. I hope that one day I can make this a regular thing and let people now what's going on with me and my family. Yeah that's a little creepy. But whatever it's better than MySpace!
