Bedtime Stories

Greetings my friends. This is the Wednesday night edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’.

I just realized that this will be my last free Wednesday night at home until sometime in August. For the next couple of months I’ll be hanging out with my Life Group on Wednesday nights. I’m looking forward to it, as we venture into this book by this guy.

It was one year ago yesterday (calendar date wise) that most of us at Life Pointe Church met Paul H. for the very first time ever. Pastor Paul was our special guest speaker on that Memorial Day Sunday in 2007, and he made an immediate impression on all of us – particularly Ela and I when he uttered our names in search of us (because he had read all about us on this cat’s blog). He packed quite the punch with his debut teaching on that holiday weekend Sunday morning entitled ‘Self-Contained – Self-Sufficient’ (as part of our ‘Losing My Religion’ message series at the time). 45 days later Paul officially began serving as our Executive Pastor. Happy Life Pointe Church 1ST Anniversary Paul !

Get ready for another frightening edition of the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ tomorrow that the entire free nation will be talking about by the watercooler on Friday morning. You totally won’t believe your eyes !

Well then until we hang out again LIVE and in-person, or virtually here in the blogosphere I invite each and everyone of you … to remember this !

My TV Guide Horoscope This Week

It’s the start of a fresh new weekly feature here on this blog !

GEMINI:
Even if you are one of those rare Geminis who prefers to avoid the limelight, this week you’ll be up there on the center stage where the whole world can see you. You won’t be short of romantic offers either. Fame has its plus side, it seems.

My 3 Takeaways:

1.  Apparently it is rare for a Gemini to prefer anonymity. I’ve seen Geminis more often described (in other Horoscopes) as introverts and loving their privacy. I’m clearly an introvert; although, I’m much less so in this purpose-driven Life than I ever was in my previous directionless life.

2.  I seriously doubt that I’ll be on any ‘center stage where the whole world can see’ me anytime soon. I didn’t make the cut for this season’s edition of “America’s Got Talent” (starts Tuesday June 17TH on NBC-TV).

3.  I can’t handle romantic offers. I’m 41 and single and my life is littered with over 30 years of widely-scattered failed relationships.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  I’m starting this week’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ at 6:21 PM. That’s the latest that I think I’ve ever started it. I just got home from a long 12-hour day of work here and here.

2.  Jesse says that there’s one Mexican restaurant in particular that serves their food above all of the rest, and that’s really saying something for a place like Homestead where there’s a Mexican restaurant on practically every other block. Maybe one day Jesse will take his closest friends (including me) over to this place to experience the real deal.

3.  Jesse also says that Hooters makes some of the best wings in the free nation. Since I don’t go to Hooters I encouraged Jesse to go out and get us a whole bunch of those amazing wings and then bring them back home to Homestead to share with his closest friends (including me).

4.  Google may be the runaway # 1 smash Internet search engine in the universe, but I hardly ever use it. I prefer Yahoo. I’ve always been a fan of Yahoo – even before it became a household name.

5.  Lysol disinfectant kills viruses, bacteria, mold, and mildew. It kills 99.9% of germs in 30 seconds. I know a whole bunch of public places in and around Homestead that could use a good soaking of Lysol daily !  I wonder what’s the deal with the remaining 0.1% of germs. Does Lysol kill them as well, but it just takes longer than 30 seconds ?

6.  A lot of great pop music came out during the Summer of 1998. I just took a look at my # 1 hits from my once successful music web site during June, July, August, and September of exactly a decade ago, and it brought back a lot of good times and memories from that era. I think I hung out with my little brother a lot during that fun Summer.

7.  I’ll be hanging out with my little brother in just about a month at the River Walk en San Antonio. I’m looking forward to it. It’ll never be as good as ‘the good old days’, but it’ll still be good enough. Any time with my little brother is precious time.

8.  I hope that John McCain selects Mike Huckabee as his running mate, but the fact of the matter is that I will vote for John McCain no matter who he selects as his Vice Presidential running mate.

9.  I prefer paper clips over staples. That reminds me. I need to get on over to Office Depot to buy some more paper clips of assorted shapes and sizes.

10.  I’m ending this week’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ at 7:12 PM. It took me less than an hour to come up with everything that you just read within this blog entry. That’s how spontaneous this is. I had nothing before I started, and now I have this creation. I created this masterpiece, and I used the skills that were provided to be by my Creator – the Creator of all things that exist – God. He’s good like that. He’s amazing like that. There is no one and no thing that is greater than Him !
