MISSING - Jack Ball


MISSING - Jack Ball
Originally uploaded by seanclaes
When I drove home from work last night and parked in my driveway, I noticed my Jack-In-The-Box Antennae Ball was stolen... directly from my truck (Black Ford Ranger). You can't trust ANYONE I tell you. Well.. I drew up a "police-esque" sketch. If you located my antannae ball, please let me know.

It is very loved.

Would it make a difference if I told you it needs medication? It doesn't... it's a foam ball.. but would it make a difference if it did?

I'm a big fan of virmecelli bowls, so I was thrilled when Austin's Pho Thaison opened up in Kyle. My 4 year old loves sushi, well California Rolls, as well (I know... go figure) so last Sunday we went to have lunch. It was GREAT. And relatively inexpensive... the California Roll was only $3.

Here's some shots:

Interesting Fire Hydrant, Kyle, Texas

I came across this cool looking fire hydrant. I hadn't seen one like this before. Have you ever seen one like this? Neat.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of funny signs on vehicles around Kyle.
This one... apparently lets you know that Suicide is to the right.

Suicide to the right.

I guess if you want to live, you'll go left.

UPDATE 19 - THE KYLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NEW LIFE CENTER - COMPLETE.

On Christmas I updated with a Kyle Daily Photo about the Kyle United Methodist Church's New Life Center being used for Christmas Eve service (a temporary permit). Well... it's completely done now, and on Sunday, January 18, 2009 the building, which is completely done, was dedicated by Bishop Jim Dorff.

It was a wonderful day. Here are some photos:

This is the Hays CISD Performing Arts Center. I think this is where I'm celebrating my birthday (February 5) because there's going to be a performance of The Music Man with a family friend, Jerrod Hehr, playing the lead role.
(Photo by Peter French.)

Peter French has probably taken more photos of Kyle than I have! He's one of the biggest promoters of Kyle, and is a past president of the Chamber of Commerce, and a real cool guy. He's got an awesome eye for photography as well and has got some amazing photos of Kyle... I'll be trying to show some of his off this year...

Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!

It was like a Christmas miracle. Not "like" one... it actually was one. At 3:00p.m. yesterday, the City of Kyle granted the Kyle United Methodist Church a permit to occupy the New Life Center for Christmas Eve service.

This has been a long process (since about August 2007)... filled with many problems along the way, but as Pastor Harold (Dailey) said last night at the service, he received a calling and God told him they would need the space for his children..so he worked tirelessly (as did an amazing crew of contractors) to make it happen. It did.

As it turns out, there were 146 (I think that was the count) at Christmas Eve Service. Our sanctuary holds about 100. So, God was right....(that's a given) and we did need the space.

Here's some shots from the first service, a wonderful, heartfelt Christmas Eve service, at the Kyle United Methodist Church's New Life Center.

Consider these #18 in my series of the building of the New Life Center. You can track back my photos of the building by visiting #17 at this link - http://kyledailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/11/kyle-united-methodist-church-update.html











Here's the photo taken in August 2007, just before the ground breaking for the New Life Center.


Merry Christmas everybody.

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Here's a little video I did featuring the light show at the main square in Kyle (around the old City Hall) with a impromptu sing-along by my 1 year old, Harper, who doesn't thing Santa should give the singer what she wants apparently.

If you're around Kyle in the next few days, I highly recommend checking this out.

OK... I've been bad, but if you drive through Kyle after 5:00p.m. you've GOT to see the lights in the main square. You should stop.. and there's a radio station (a sign tells you the station) you can tune your car radio to.... and the lights dance to it.

I need to get a video or something. But this Welcome Home sign will do for today.

Here's my photo for today... followed by a press release for a Christmas Festival this weekend.
This is the Kyle United Methodist Church
Kyle United Methodist Church. http://www.kyleumc.com/


All Invited to the KUMC Christmas Festival
Boasting A Live Nativity, Games, Choir Performance, and Wassail



There’s a wonderful tradition of family and fellowship that surrounds Christmas. It is in this spirit that the Kyle United Methodist Church (408 W Lockhart St) invites all of our neighbors to our first ever Christmas Festival on December 13, 2008.

The Festival kicks off at 4:00p.m. and you’ll find refreshments like applesauce cake and wassail (a hot spiced punch). You can do some Christmas shopping as we’ll be selling hand-made items such as baby blankets, fancy Christmas bows, Jars of Joy (decorated ingredient jars for tasty soups, brownies, cookies, and beverages), and other unique gift items and baked goods. There will also be a “New To You” re-gifting booth of brand-new items that will be sold for a heavenly song.

Children of all ages will have plenty to do. We’ll have a booth for face painting and we’ll have games like “Frosty Toss,” “Pin The Nose of Rudolph,” and the “Christmas Card Toss.” We’ve also been in contact with Saint Nicholas, and he said he’d be there as well to say hello and listen to all of the children’s Christmas wishes.

The Children of the KUMC will entertain the crowds with a performance of “The Nativity.” This will include a live Nativity and narration from scripture. You’ll have a chance to sing along with the kiddos when they perform “Silent Night.” They will perform twice, at 5:00p.m. and 6:00p.m. If you’ve ever seen little ones perform…you know it’ll be fun.

Once 7:00p.m. comes, it’s time to head inside the sanctuary for an hour-long performance by the KUMC Choir, led by Choir Director Jenny Sandoval. The title of the performance is “An Old Fashioned Christmas” - The story of a man wishing for the simpler times in which to celebrate Christmas and is told through the diary of a young girl written in the late 1800's.

The KUMC Christmas Festival is free to attend. All the proceeds raised through the Festival will go towards furnishing the children's nursery or to children's playground equipment for the New Life Center being built at KUMC. The entire community is invited to attend. Additional information may be obtained by calling the church office (512-268-2331) or e-maling (KyleUMC@Verizon.net).

What: KUMC’s First Ever Christmas Festival
When: Saturday, December 13, 2008 from 4:00p.m. – 8:00p.m.
Where: Kyle United Methodist Church, 408 W. Lockhart Street, Kyle, Texas 78640
