Monday Night Countdown

It’s time for my pal Phil‘s favourite weekly series here on this blog, and this week it’s an all-new TOP 5 countdown featuring the TOP 5 Internet search terms that were used to find this blog over the past 30 days:

Let’s kick it:

5. Funny Restaurant Names / Funny Chinese Restaurant Names / Funny Thai Restaurant Names – 72 views

4. Orange Chicken – 108 views

3. Tsunami – 143 views

2. Homestead Pavilion – 144 views

1. Biggest Cat In The World / Largest Cat / Giant Cat / Massive Cat / 44-Pound Feline – 199 views

There’s only one real surprise in this TOP 5 countdown, and that would have to be the ‘orange chicken’ entry. The Monday April 14TH 2008 edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’ is (believe it or not) the # 2 most-read blog entry (out of over 460) in the entire history of this blog. It was an unassuming edition in which I featured a picture of an appetizing bowl of orange chicken from Panda Express. That single blog entry from nearly four months ago continues to generate up to 10 new views per day !

Some things you just can’t explain.

Blatant Promotion

It was another record-shattering week here on the big blog featuring the busiest Wednesday and the busiest Sunday in the history of this blog. It was also the busiest week ever, and it was the first week ever in which all 7 days recorded triple-digit views. THANK YOU my friends for doing all of that !

TOMORROW on the big blog be sure to check out another fascinating edition of the ‘Monday Night Countdown’ featuring a TOP 5 countdown that includes lovable hugable cats and deadly destructive tsunamis on it. SAY WHAT ?

Then be sure to get ready for the long-running flagship weekly series here on this blog – the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. It’s what I’ll be thinking about after work on Tuesday, and it’s what you’ll be reading about shortly thereafter.

Until we blog again have a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing Sunday night, and REMEMBER THIS !

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

6 Comments on Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1. A change was in the air this morning at Life Pointe Church, and it had to do with the music. Starting in the main lobby – we listened to all-new Christian music (rock, pop, and hip hop) courtesy of my own personal iPod Shuffle. It blared loudly all throughout the main lobby, and it received rave reviews – particularly from the youth of our family. During ‘Praise & Worship’ Jesse took a back seat to play guitar while Michael B. made his lead-singing debut. He did an awesome job leading the band and leading our family as we displayed our intense adoration of Jesus !

2. Pastor Jesse led this morning’s service, and he’s got the FUNK ! He spoke on the funk in poverty. We act upon what is in our hearts, and our Lives are a direct result of the condition of our hearts. Poverty is fueled by our human mind. Jesus challenges the quality of our Life by what drives our heart, what fuels our mind, and what moves our soul. We live in freedom, but our minds are in poverty. Our goal is to be fully alive and aware that we are totally blessed through it all. The fate of the world and the people around us depends on the outcome of our funk, and that funk doesn’t define us. It actually refines us.

3. Youth Pastor Alex has got the FUNK – and it’s in his HAIR ! After 4 days and 3 nights away at Youth Camp with a bunch of our teens he came back with his hair dyed a weird shade of ‘sort-of tannish-orange’. I reminded Alex that he’s still Mexican, and that he needs to quickly go back to the natural black hair. A few of the kids came back from Youth Camp with what appeared to be perms. I promise that if we ever have an adult retreat for a few days then I won’t come back as a total blonde a la my good friend Kristina M. ! 😯
