Blatant Promotion

It’s time for another ‘Blatant Promotion’ here on the blog. This is where I blatantly promote future entries on here so that you can plan your visits accordingly. I know that your Internet time is precious.

I’ll be here all weekend long my friends. Tomorrow I’ve got your most anticipated ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ where I give back to my closest friends in the blogosphere who are indeed bloggers with blogs. Even my little brother has gotten back in the blogging business (for now anyway – don’t hold your breath for too long), so we’ll see if one of his blog entries from this past week made it onto the coveted ‘Blogroll’.

Be sure to also catch the 3RD installment of the ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’. I have absolutely no clue what I’m going to write about on there, so how about if you guys and gals grab your crew and just ask me questions during the course of the day tomorrow (leave your comments on here), and then I’ll pick the best questions to answer on the ‘Shenanigans’. Ask whatever you’d like – whatever you want to know about me. This is your big chance. If there are a lack of questions to answer then I’m simply going to blog about my MASSIVE breakfast on Saturday morning.

On Sunday I’ve got your ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’. You won’t want to miss that pal, for much of Homestead and Florida City (where all of the food is) will be talking about it by the copy machine on Monday morning ! 😀

So that’s what’s comin’ up over the next 72 hours here on the blog. Don’t blink. You may miss something interesting, amusing, exciting, or downright revolutionary !

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 !

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 !

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Sunny & Clear
Temperature: 78°F
Relative Humidity: 67%
Winds: E 9 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 29.97 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  NO – Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is really an edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’. I just had to take advantage of this extremely unusual cool and dry air over Homestead this late in the winter season (which incidentally I forecasted with precision accuracy nearly a week ago). When dewpoints reach the lower-60s in late-May in Homestead you just know that you are living through a strange weather phenomenon. Of course if you have no clue what a dewpoint is then you probably just think that it’s really sunny outside !  8)

2.  Before I even ventured on this ‘Walk-A-Thon’ I went over to Florida City (where all of the food is), and I ate the mother of all MASSIVE breakfasts to end all MASSIVE breakfasts big and small – at Denny’s !  I walked in, I was treated with love, care, and respect, and I ate one of the biggest meals that I can remember in recent short-term memory. Everything was just oh-so-perfect with this breakfast experience – including the environment, the surrounding clientele, and the rockin’ music that was playing in the background. I think I found my new favourite breakfast hang-out joint on future Saturday (or holiday) mornings.

3.  I ate so much food that I just had to walk it all off, and so I did via a basic ‘old-school’ standard-issue 1.3-mile walk around the circumference of my beautiful neighbourhood. I did the walk in a little more than 23½-minutes, and I walked to the fantastic beat of my glorious Christian rock, pop, and hip hop music on my green 2GB iPod Shuffle. Editorial Comment Alert – If I were the Music Director of the main lobby of Life Pointe Church on Sunday mornings then I would play my iPod Shuffle in lieu of the current music selection on the iPod that has been played endlessly for about a year now. But that’s just me.

4.  One side of Lakeshore’s dumpsters were clean and empty. The other side were dirty, full, and overflowing onto the ground. Gee I wonder which side the City Of Homestead hasn’t gotten to yet ? !  The north side is anxiously awaiting with baited breath the emptying of our dumpsters.

5.  I guarantee at least one more edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ this Summer – on location from the River Walk in San Antonio Texas. Look for it during the week of the 4TH Of July.
