Plano Sport Locker (XXL Trunk)
I like to find unique little products that make my life more enjoyable, and when I do, I don't want to just keep them to myself. So, here is tonight's little product.
Meet the PLANO SPORT LOCKER, also known as the PLANO XXL TRUNK. This guy is a large hard plastic trunk complete with 4 latches, 3 lock points, and a set of wheels on one end. I love these things.
I have one for my Drum Hardware (cymbal stands, seat, etc.), and one for my Camera Hardware (tripods, light stands etc.). Both of mine are super durable, hold all the weight I need them to, and most importantly, are just the right size. Not so big I can't manage them, but also not too small, because a few inches shorter and I wouldn't be able to get half of my gear in these, which would defeat the purpose.
They have a low-profile handle on each end, and their width is just short enough that one person can pick the whole unit up if the weight allows. If it doesn't, it's not an awkward size for one person on each end.
I love these things. And most of all, the prices is insane. Under $50, consistently. Which is wild, because if there was a drum brand, or a speaker brand or anything on these things they would be $300.
I order mine on Amazon, and get free 2-Day air shipping with my Amazon Prime Account. Love that thing. Price is usually $42.
You can also buy these at Home Depot, no shipping, just your local tax. Good to know if one ever failed you can buy locally. I've seen them as low as $29.
Living Broken-Hearted
I absolutely breaks my heart to think of all the millions of people all over our world who are going to hell and have no idea.
It breaks my heart even more to think of all the millions of people right here in lives who are also sinners by birth and will spend eternity in hell.
Around the world, people do not know who have not heard of Jesus. Who will leave here and travel to tell them of the salvation waiting for them?
Here in our daily lives, people do not know they are living and rolling in the sinful desires of their flesh every day. Who will go out of their busy way here to tell them of the salvation they do not even know they need?
We are objects of wrath, sinners by nature, destined to hell at birth. Jesus offers salvation as a gift, a gift we can reach out and take. All around the world hopeless people have no idea there is a savior for them. Here at home healthy wealthy people have no idea they need any kind of saving from the American Dream they enjoy here in America.
Break my heart for what breaks Yours, Lord.
May I give everything I have for your Kingdom and not my own.
I love you Jesus, for so many reasons.
Take my life and let it be, here am I, send me.
I am not ashamed of the one who saved my soul, and I will sing, sing, sing to you among this group of believers but o Lord may I speak of your great name outside these safe walls and into the Wendy's today?
D Riff
Worshiping here in the apartment this afternoon getting ready for tomorrow night and this riff just kept ringing out to me. It's such a simple D riff, a play off of Charlie Hall's "Prepare the Way". So, I pulled my trusty Zoom H4n out, set it in front of me and recorded this little riff.
Such a simple little tune I don't know why it kept bother me. But I love it. :)
