Introducing … Sports Authority to Homestead ! The Grand Opening is scheduled for Friday October 17TH 2008; however, keep checking that store (at the Homestead Pavilion) in the days leading up to that official opening date because they may very well do a soft opening to test various systems out.
Wanna work there ? Go here.
Kohl’s is open early. According to their official web site they open at 8 AM Monday to Friday, 7 AM on Saturday, and 9 AM on Sunday. Shop early to avoid the crowds !
In a wink and a nod to an over 30-year weekly passion of mine (tracking and compiling hit music charts) I present to you my current TOP 5 favourite songs – for the week ending Sunday October 05TH 2008:
5. Sleeping In – Nevertheless
It’s pure sugary pop like only these 5 cats from Chattanooga Tennessee can deliver. I’ve liked every single radio song that they’ve released ever since I’ve been on this fantastic journey with them.
4. Undercover – Deas Vail
I like the cool sound and the mellow feel of this power pop band out of northwestern Arkansas. They almost sound European. ‘Deas Vail’ means ‘humble servant of God’. Truly so. Amen.
3. Stop It – The Almost
It’s the 4TH hit single in a row from Aaron Gillespie (the drummer from Underoath), and it’s his follow-up to “Say This Sooner”, “Amazing (Because It Is)”, and “Southern Weather”.
2. Put Your Lips To The TV – Project 86
These hard rockin’ dudes have been together for over a decade of destruction, and this runaway track is one of their hardest to date. Listen to the lyrics. The devil wants their ‘head in a basket’ and ‘on a platter’, but it ain’t gonna happen my friend. ‘You can kiss me goodbye’. You ain’t reaching me no more.
1. The Sky – Showbread
DUDE ! I totally dig this hardcore smash ! It totally rocks my face off, and although it would so totally frighten anyone at Life Pointe Church over the age of 40 45 I’m still playing it as part of my eclectic playlist out in the main lobby on Youth Service Sundays ! HECKZZZ YEAHZZZ !
We began a fresh new 5-week message series on this glorious Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church. Entitled ‘The Art Of War’ it’s all about living a ‘no prisoners’ life. It’s all about moving forward in Life. But it’s not going to happen overnight. You’ve got to plan ahead for this. You need ‘strategery’.
This morning Lead Pastor Travis walked us through Stage 1 of this war. It’s all about creating alliances. We are to conquer, subdue, and tame our world. But we can’t do it alone. We must carefully create alliances or covenant relationships with like people in order to successfully take dominion over our earth.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
The Temple Of The Living God
14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness ? How can light live with darkness ?
15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil ? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever ?
16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols ? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:
“I will live in them
and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.
18 And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.”
As of press time this afternoon Jesse and Alex had already posted their respective Sunday morning wrap-ups. Be sure to check back later on for more wrap-ups from T.J., P.J., K.J., and R.C. Yay fellow bloggers !
The year was 1973, and you were there (unless of course you weren’t born yet). I was a 6-year-old kid living with my Mom and Dad in the Washington D.C. suburb of Bowie Maryland on Peach Walker Drive. In September I began attending Catholic school 5 days a week as a first-grader at Saint Matthias The Apostle in Lanham Maryland near my grandparents’ house.
I had two dogs at the time – Brandy – a German Shepherd – and Girlie – a miniature sheepdog. Brandy barked a lot and dug holes out in the backyard. I didn’t really like him very much. In fact I was scared of him. We wouldn’t have him for very long. Girlie lasted a few years longer. She was lovable and squeezeable with an adorable personality. She had a tiny bony tail.
On Saturday nights America stayed home and watched this amazing lineup of TV shows on CBS – “All in the Family” (8 PM), “M*A*S*H” (8:30 PM), “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (9 PM), “The Bob Newhart Show” (9:30 PM), and “The Carol Burnett Show” (10 PM). It may just be the greatest primetime lineup on a single night – on a single network – in television history.
A few hours before that three-hour block of Emmy-award-winning laughs on Saturday nights this hot music and dance show was breaking new ground on the tube, and I was paying attention to it – even as a 6-year-old. It was seen locally at the time on WTTG Channel 5 out of Washington D.C. It lasted for an incredible 35 years in first-run syndication nationwide, but this was clearly its hey day.
Ladies and Gentlemen – I present to you for your ‘Saturday Night Retro’ review – some LOVE, PEACE, and SOUL ! GET DOWN & BOOGIE !
Did anyone spot their young parents (or even grandparents) in that vintage clip ?
