– I am like so totally stuffed right now.
– I just returned home from the LongHorn SteakHouse.
– I enjoyed the mother of all MASSIVE meals big and small.
– It was fun indulging with Patricia, Venus, Leo, and Martine.
– I think that I surpassed the 5,000 calorie mark with that one meal.
– But before all of that good food we dove in to the Good News LPC-style.
– Pastor Travis led us through Week 5 of our current study of the Book of Joel.
– It’s all about the “Devastation And Redemption”.
– My opinion – I think that this has been one of the most powerful series in awhile.
– I’ll remember this message series several months into the future.
– God saves us to use us to help save others.
– We serve God by expanding His Kingdom.
– Look up towards Christ, for you can’t lose when you’ve got Him in charge.
– May the God of all creation be inside each and every one of us.
– The Lord will return, and on that day we will be judged.
– Does the Holy Spirit truly live within our hearts and our souls ?
– He that wins souls is the wise One.
– God created us to raze hell.
– God created us to be His hands and His feet on His creation.

Month: August 2009
This month of August 2009 marks several notable anniversaries for me. It’s the 3RD anniversary of my new Life courtesy of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It’s the 8TH anniversary of me being a homeowner after renting this same home for 6 years prior to that. Further back into the 1990s it’s the 16TH anniversary of me working for my current employer – the 482ND Fighter Wing. That was an indirect result of what happened 17 years ago this month – Hurricane Andrew’s destruction of Homestead. And going way back 25 years ago this month it’s my silver anniversary with the USAF. I actually joined the Delayed Enlistment Program a month prior to my Senior year in High School in August of 1984. 10 months later I was getting yelled at in Basic Military Training.
Here’s a U.K. TOP 25 hit from 25 years ago from one of my favourite electronic pop groups of all-time – Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD). It’s from their critically-acclaimed 1984 album “Junk Culture”. It’s a virtually unknown song here stateside, so this ‘Saturday Night Retro’ pick-hit of the week is for all of my European readers who enjoyed the OMD pop phenomenon back in its day. Here – my friends – is that song all about those “Tesla Girls”:
Who’s sleepy ?
Zzzzzzzzzzzz …
It started as an experiment 5 weeks ago to replace the now defunct ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’, and now it’s a runaway smash hit that’s become the fastest-growing weekly blog series of the summer.
Back during the Autumn of 1976 I was a 9-year-old kid attending the 4TH grade at Magnolia Elementary School right in the middle of my Lanham Maryland neighbourhood. My little brother was just learning how to walk on his own as he approached 18-months-old. WPGC ‘AM & FM Morningside’ was the TOP 40 radio station to dance to as the disco beat went on and on.
Here’s a classic track that took its sweet time to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 – over 4 months – but it finally got there in October of 1976. It’s 23-year-old (at the time) Walter Murphy with his modern (at the time) disco remake of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5” from 170 years earlier ! It’s “A Fifth Of Beethoven”, and here’s how Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band performed it LIVE on the legendary “Midnight Special” on NBC-TV on Friday August 20TH 1976:
