Night Of Worship

Posted in Uncategorized on August 26, 2009 by josephstagnaro

We had a Night Of Worship at Watermarke church on Sunday night. For anyone who came, you know that this night was incredibly powerful. We had a couple hundred adults pumping their fists to “We Shine” and students just going after the Lord. The band was awesome, Seth was so excited at one point, he was giddy and the drummer, Jacob Arnold, broke through his kick head on the last song so Joe Brim had to go on stage and played his floor tom to fill in. Crazy. The band walked off the stage and the entire room was going crazy, yelling “encore!”. It was ridiculous the amount of energy that was generated. I was blown away by the amount of people that we had bought in to what we were doing and willing to spend their entire day at Palmer Middle School getting ready for this night. We had an awesome group of volunteers that stuck around from 6:00am set-up to 9:30pm tear down and everything in between. We changed the set from Sunday morning and added a triple head 2go to make a 30′ wide seamless image across our three screens, 20′ of truss, 3 moving lights, re-programmed all the lights, and jumpbacks, and a had full band run-through a couple times. All in about 4 hours. We have an awesome team and God was in this night. Thanks to everyone who helped and came out, it wouldn’t have happened without you.

I took these during rehearsal because I was too busy enjoying the service to take pictures.

My Nephews

David and Nicholas are two awesome guys that happen to be my nephews. They have had an interesting life so far, they have been able to speak German, Spanish, and English, lived in another country, been to 3 different continents and are both under the age of 7. They both have a passion for video games and play Star Wars Battlefront or Lego Star Wars any chance they get. David is known for asking everyone he see’s if they have an “Iphone” because he loves playing the games on mine so much. I love my nephews very much.

Here are some pictures from Davids birthday party a while back and a few of them swinging, waving to their “Papi” who is in Army Ranger school right now.

1984 Mercedes 300D Turbo

About a year ago I got interested in diesel cars that were converted to run on WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil. I also thought that the old diesel Mercedes were sweet looking. So needless to say, I went out and bought one for $1700. I had it for about a week and started to work on it and made it to not run. I ran out of money and time, so it sat in the driveway for a year. I finally tried to sell it (for $500), and by the grace of God, I got hooked up with a super nice mechanic who knows everything about these cars. He helped me get it running again, and I have been working on it for the last two weeks. I have decided not to convert it, and instead, try to run it on a 50/50 mix of diesel and vegetable oil, as diesel cars can run on straight vegetable oil without modification (converting just makes it easier).

Here are some pictures that my girl Kayla Ingram took of me changing the motor mounts. She is a talented girl. And cute.
