			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AS I open this post I must admit that I am not the most cultured guy in the world, but Mary Jo and I did step out in faith this year to by season tickets to the <a href="http://www.thcenter.org/">Thrasher Horne Center</a> of the performing Arts. The season opened up last night with a Dixieland Jazz group &#8211; <a href="http://www.dukesofdixieland.com/">The Dukes of Dixieland</a>.</p>
<p>We were blessed to have attended the show with some great friends Joel and Natalie Barzack. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not something we would normally do, but it was amazing. We had an incredible time. Got to sit in the second row dead center. The musicians were amazing. I particularly tripped out when the drummer and Bass Guitar dude teamed up the drummer was actually playing a song on the strings of the bass guitar. It was a trip.</p>
<p>Clay County is not necessarily known for it&#8217;s cultural experiences, but the Thrasher Horne is starting to change that. If you haven&#8217;t gone there for a show yet, I highly encourage you to check it out.</p>
<p>Be sure to meet Kathryn Wills when your there. She is the Marketing Director, she is incredibly nice and makes everyone feel welcomed. Mary Jo loves her. Plus she says she will never get married! <img src='http://www.ericjaffe.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I just believe she has to meet the right Christian guy.&nbsp; Just kidding Kathryn &#8211; Your awesome!</p>
<p>So come out and support them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this is my first post since returning from vacation. It took me a little while to get back up to speed and actually have a moment to sit down at the keyboard. </p>

Tonight was pretty amazing. I was blessed to get a back stage tour of Jacksonville&#8217;s <a href="http://www.promisekeepers.org">Promise Keepers</a> &quot;Unleashed&quot; by Patrick McKinney, Promise Keepers, Event Volunteer Director. He is a man who&#8217;s heart beats with mine. Volunteerism/Christian service is something that just makes my heart beat. I love nothing more than seeing people use their God given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others. Patrick must have done a great job of coordinating as he was kind enough to spend 45 minutes leading up to the start of the conference with me. I genuinely thank him for spending the time with me. Those few minutes gave me tons of ideas as we prepare for Easter at the arena. We have much to learn.</p>
<p><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://pastoreric.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/img079.jpg"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://www.ericjaffe.org/images/img079.jpg" title="Img079" alt="Img079" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;" /></a><br />
The conference opened with PK7 (aka the Promise Keepers Worship Band) cranking it up with some really hot worship, followed up by <a href="http://www.promisekeepers.org/confbios292">Reggie Dabbs</a> firing up the crowd to usher in <a href="http://www.promisekeepers.org/confbios326">Bob Reccord </a>who preached an incredible message out of Luke 14 that inspired many, many men to give their lives to the Lord.</p>
<p>I must admit, in recent years I have not been as fired up when thinking about PK, crowds have diminished, and I thought it had lost some of the luster from the &quot;Good Old Days&quot;. But after visiting it, hearing Patrick&#8217;s passion for the future of the confrences, and seeing the Altar call. I think it really has a place to play in the body of Christ by encouraging men to live their lives for God.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m all for it and will do whatever possible to help promo future events. May God Bless PK.</p>
