Bedtime Stories

Greetings fellow bloggers – those who read and those who write. It’s time for the Sunday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Cookie Crisp cereal.

Here are some things that I resolve to do during this upcoming holiday week:

  • Wear a green shirt tomorrow to celebrate my Irish heritage in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. (I’m 50% Irish in case you didn’t know.)
  • Eat Chinese food for Lunch tomorrow to celebrate my love of foods that are green – such as broccoli.
  • Go to Publix tomorrow afternoon after work to do some serious shopping for food. Yes Venus and Kristina – even though I don’t cook my own food I still eat food.
  • Get a tattoo on my lower-right thigh with Jesse.
  • Wash and dry bath towels twice this week.
  • Prepare for the WORM. (This only makes sense to my coworkers.)
  • Shave on Tuesday night.
  • Go out clubbing with Paul.
  • Attend Life Group this Wednesday night and arrive before Nancy.
  • Serve at the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’ on Good Friday night. (Visit easterinhomestead.com for the 411.)
  • Induct another ‘Chris Day’ into ‘The Chris Day Club’.
  • Get a haircut with Travis at Woody’s Barber Shop.

Be sure to return back here tomorrow afternoon for another fun-filled day here on the blog. I may even have a fresh new edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’.

Until then remember this:

If you like cookies, you’ll love Cookie Crisp !

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  It was so great to see Anne J.’s car double-parked right in front of the front doors of the movie theatre as I arrived bright and early this morning. She’s feeling better now after a brief illness, and she was running around all over the place for 100 minutes before the 9 AM service even started !

2.  Ms. Annie H. was over at the Guests’ Information Table for a little while this morning. I think that she was getting some advice from Terry and Patricia on how to add even more cool stuff to the Kids’ Life Registration table. As a result I went over to Lisa and Luciana to give them some cool new ideas of my own. ‘This is not a competition !’, exclaimed Pastor Paul as he rushed into the Pier to beat Pastor Travis.

3.  Jesse and the band and the back-up singers continue to amaze me. They performed “Afterglow” from the longtime rock band INXS during ‘Praise & Worship’. “Afterglow” was co-written by INXS bandmember Andrew Farriss and award-winning songwriter Desmond Child as a tribute to longtime INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence (1960-1997).

4.  Pastor Travis closed out the ‘Fully Engaged’ message series this morning with an inspirational teaching that received more applause than the State Of The Union address. It was all about a lack of guts in today’s church which doesn’t look like the revolutionary Jesus. It’s soft. It’s unchallenging. To live like Jesus lived is to be gutsy – to create a stir – to create a revolution. We need to pray like it’s all up to God, and we need to work like it’s all up to us. We need to pray big, dream big, and refuse to quit. We need to change the world.

5.  Life Pointe Church is taking over Harris Field in Homestead this Good Friday night. Gates open at 6 PM for our ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’, and the fun for the whole family starts at 7 PM. We are expecting 2,000 to 3,000 guests out there, so we will need everyone there early to be ‘Fully Engaged’ and help out and serve in some capacity. Everyone has their own unique talents, and we’d love to see them in action on Friday night so that everything runs as smoothly as possible. For more information on this MASSIVE event be sure to check out our special web site at easterinhomestead.com.

6.  We will have 3 services next Sunday morning for Easter, and they begin promptly at 8:30, 9:40, and 10:50. We’re expecting all 3 services to be crammed to capacity, so get there extra early and try to attend the 8:30 AM service if you can so that we can free up some valuable seats for the two later services.
