Monday Night Countdown

This week I present to you the TOP 5 things that I’m most looking forward to on my upcoming Carnival cruise. Perhaps it will make you giggle out loud like a little girl:

5.  Dressing up in my most elegant formal attire to shake hands with the Captain, introduce myself as ‘The Major’, and then indulge in rich hors d’oeuvres on fancy plates while watching old people dance the Charleston up on stage.

4.  Dude – Those 100-minute 8-course dinners every single night of the week. Need I say more ?  Hey I’m all about the food !  It’s all good like that !

3.  Dancing out in the middle of the disco dance floor like it’s 1989 and I’m 22 years old. I still have some leftover dance moves in me that I never got to during the 1985 to 2005 time-frame. If I return to America’s Riviera in noticeable pain then you can pretty much surmise that I finally got to those dance moves out on the open seas. I may have made a total fool of myself, but it surely wouldn’t be the first time.

2.  She’s sweet – I16 !  He’s on social security – O65 !  She’s got the sexy legs of Bingo – B11 !  Representing all of the States – G50 !  Middle-aged Bingo – N40 !  B I N G O ! ! !

1.  Embarking on one long continuous ‘Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ up and down and all around all of the various decks from the time that I step on that cruise ship to the time that I step off of it. How else am I gonna work off the 4,750 calories that I’ll be consuming over the course of 5 MASSIVE meals per day ?

‘Monday Night Countdown’ returns in 2 weeks on Monday February 16TH 2009.

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

It’s my takeaways from this morning – ‘Mini Thoughts’ style in 15 words or less:

– Anne J.’s car always smells of fresh bagels early on a Sunday morning.
– Her car is the official Life Pointe Church-Mobile.
– The Starbucks Coffee was extra scrumptious. Thank You Lesia !
– Don’t mess with David C. or (especially) Bibi while they are folding tee-shirts.
– Mark moved the Youth table to a more prominent location.
– Mark does not wish for his table to be neat and tidy.

new-testament-challenge

– Travis kicked-off our 9-week / 63-day ‘New Testament Challenge’.
– Our goal is to read all 27 books of the New Testament.
– That’s about 130 verses per day.
– We can do it if we just devote about 20 minutes per day to it.
– This is Day 1 of the Challenge.
– Tonight I’ll be reading Matthew 1-2 and Acts 1-3.
– We should never compare ourselves to others.
– We should always compare ourselves to Jesus Christ.
– We will never be as awesome as Him.
– The Bible Says – ‘Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.’
– We should always call upon God to grow us.
– We should ask Him to take us where we need to be on His journey for us.

I will not be at Life Pointe Church next Sunday morning; however, the New Testament Challenge will go forth with me on my vacation destinations. I’ll catch up with everyone again in 2 weeks on Sunday February 15TH 2009.
