Bedtime Stories

It’s currently past 8 PM EST, or 9 PM MDT (as in ‘My Daylight Time’). Earlier today I took the grand tour around my home and changed all of my clocks ahead by one hour. I’ve been on Daylight Savings Time for most of the day today. For me it got dark tonight after 7:30 PM. For the rest of you it happened after 6:30 PM. Be sure to join me tomorrow as we officially begin Daylight Savings Time.

It’s gonna be an unusually cold March night tonight here in Homestead. Tomorrow morning as you step outside just before sunrise (at 7:36 AM) it will be in the mid-40s outside with wind chills in the mid-30s !

Be sure to catch this blog tomorrow after 1 PM EDT for another amazing edition of the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’.

May you have a safe and peaceful Saturday night, stay warm, don’t let the bedbugs bite, and until we meet again remember this:

4 out of 5 dentists recommend Trident Sugarless Gum for their patients who chew gum.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Blaze Of Glory” – Audio Adrenaline – 2006
(Originally performed by The Alarm – 1983)

It’s funny how they shoot you down when your hands are held up high. And you open up your heart and soul, but that’s not enough for most, NO !

I remember this much. There is nothing you shouldn’t speak of when you’ve got something to say.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

The law of the jungle says you look after yourself, but I remember this much. I love as I’ve been loved myself. Don’t forget what I told you now when the questions keeps on a-coming, and it’s ‘how much more can you take’ but you keep on.

Going out in a blaze of glory. Setting your sights on the sky. They can offer you anything at all, but your dreams must not be sold.

Going out in a blaze of glory. No price is high enough. I’m fighting back with feeling. I’m fighting back with love.

And the nails are hammered into your hands, and the cross is heavy. Keep on !  Don’t you know that it’s time to make a stand ?  It’s time to make a stand !

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My hands are held up high. I’m learning how to hit back. Yes I’m learning how to fight.

Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.

{Fade Out.}

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Overcast, Windy, Drizzly
Temperature: 68°F
Relative Humidity: 92%
Winds: NW 8 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.03 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  At 7 AM this morning it was raining outside (just as I forecasted last night), so in lieu of walking I decided to go eating – at the Cracker Barrel. I enjoyed a MASSIVE breakfast consisting of 4 slices of french toast drowning in maple syrup, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 smoked sausages, hot coffee, and cold water. Now where did I put my Lipitor ?

2.  I got back home at 8 AM, and the rain had ended. I decided to walk the walk. It was the most unusual ‘Walk-A-Thon’ yet.

3.  My semi-basic 1.4-mile walk on a rare full stomach was done so during treacherous weather conditions – with thick dark clouds hanging low overhead, strong gusty northwesterly winds of up to 25 MPH, cold air pouring in, and even a little bit of leftover drizzle on this fresh side of the powerful cold front. I will dream of mornings like this from April through October when it’s hot and sticky outside with no wind.

4.  The ducks were out and about this morning, and they appeared to be lost, dazed, confused, and perhaps even drunk. They were stumbling about, wandering around with no sense of direction, and I saw one of them nearly tumble over in a state of mass chaos. They were wondering why the weather had suddenly changed on them. Some of them probably drank too much (rain).

5.  If my friends and acquaintances from my previous life (not capitalized) saw what I was doing today – walking, talking, laughing, and loving Life (capitalized) then they would think that I am not that same person that I was in my teens, 20s, and 30s. That plastic mannequin withered and rotted away. He died. I was reborn during the Summer Of 2006. I have a whole bunch of new friends now that are walking with me as we follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These are my 40s, and everything I do I do it for God. AMEN !
