Friday Night Blogroll Review

If it’s Friday night then it must be time to recap some of my favourite blog entries of this past week:

Travis has lost nearly 30 pounds, and he’s not even done yet. He’s on his way to losing another 15 or so pounds to get to a mean and lean 200 pounds.
Travis is the Lead Pastor of Life Pointe Church.

Phil has a new work schedule, and that allowed him to – at long last – become an official Life Pointe Church blogger.
Phil is Travis’s younger brother, and a talented musician of Life Pointe’s ‘Praise & Worship’ band.

Alex experienced a ‘Rude Awakening’.
Alex is Jesse’s younger brother, a talented musician of Life Pointe’s ‘Praise & Worship’ band, and a youth leader for Grades 6 to 12.

Nathan has become a ‘born-again blogger’, as he has posted 4 entries over the past 4 days. He urges each and every one of you to bust a move, break a leg, cut a rug, and get down tonight with Jesus !
Nathan is the Lead Pastor of InDependence Church in Weston Florida.

Harmony presented her Honey Chicken Salad recipe to the entire world, and I instantly got hungry.
Harmony is Nathan’s wife, and the Kids’ Leader at InDependence Church.

Chris Goins stated that Life Pointe Church ROCKS !
Chris lives in Birmingham Alabama and was the special guest speaker at Life Pointe Church last Sunday morning.

My brother experienced ‘thundersleet’ in the Dallas Texas area earlier this week.
Danny will soon be 33-years-old, and he works at Safeware Insurance Agency, Inc. in Dallas Texas. He has been married to his lovely wife Christina for the past 10 months.

Bedtime Stories

What a wonderful day it was today. I missed being with my co-workers at work, but the knowledge I attained, the experience I endured, and the fellowship I enjoyed with a bunch of my Life Pointe Church family members was all worth it. Thank You Jesus for continuously amazing me with these life-changing opportunities !

Are you ready to chill out South Florida ?  Get ready for a blast of cold air to invade our subtropical environment and temporarily halt the 85° temperatures that we’ve been enjoying for most of this past week. Temperatures will begin to take a hard tumble during the day on Saturday. It’ll start out warm and muggy in the morning, but then as the day progresses we’ll be dropping down into the 60s with wind chills into the 50s. Sunday morning we could experience temperatures in and around Homestead in the lower-50s with wind chills into the lower-40s !  Bundle up as you head to Life Pointe Church on Sunday !  We will struggle to hit the 70°F mark on Sunday afternoon despite wall-to-wall sunshine galore !

That’s ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Thursday night. I’m going back to work tomorrow (Friday), but I’ll be back on the blog during the afternoon. I’ve got a special expanded ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ for you tomorrow night, so be sure to check it out !

Until then remember this:

Bedtime Stories

As I begin this blog entry it’s 9:39 PM EST on a Wednesday night, and I just returned home from another glorious night at my Life Group. Patricia did a superb job leading us tonight, and we all pledged to talk to God on a regular basis and get even more intimate with Him. To know Him is to love Him – with reckless abandon.

For once on a Wednesday night I actually don’t have to rush to bed and set my alarm clock for 5 AM to be at work by 6 AM. I’m not going to work tomorrow. I’m taking the day off. Tomorrow I’ll be hanging out with some of my cool Life Pointe Church family as we head north for about 40 miles up to Miami Lakes to attend the Fusion Seminar. It’s gonna be so awesome to get even more ‘Fully Engaged’.

May you have a safe and peaceful Wednesday night everyone. Be sure to catch the blog tomorrow for a special Thursday edition of the ‘Tossed Salad’ – Fusion Seminar style. I’ll also post another ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’.

Until we blog again remember this:

I am stuck on Band-Aids ’cause Band-Aids stuck on me !

Behind The Scenes At The Major’s Life Blog

We’ve just entered the 4TH full month of action here on this blog at WordPress. Our official launch date was December 01ST 2007, but we had a week-long ‘soft opening’ during the final 7 days of November 2007. Before that this blog existed on MySpace for about 6 months, and those 300+ blog entries are still available for viewing online here.

Here are some additional ‘Fun Facts’:

  • After the popular search engines Travis Johnson’s blog sends this blog the most traffic. There’s a large drop-off after his blog.
  • Mondays and Tuesdays generate the heaviest traffic on this blog by far. There’s about a 20% drop-off in blog traffic on Wednesdays and Thursdays compared with the Monday / Tuesday juggernaut.
  • ‘The Chris Day Club’ was an instant ‘out-of-the-box’ smash hit on this blog. It’s one of my few original ideas. I stole many of the ideas that make up this blog from Travis Johnson.
  • ‘Bedtime Stories’ has become the biggest smash hit of them all here on this blog. It too is an original idea of mine. I need to come up with more original ideas !
