Bedtime Stories

It’s just after 8:30 PM EDT on this wild and crazy Monday night, and I just got home from a full day of work (at the base) and even more work (at the church office) about an hour ago. I am so totally exhausted after this nearly 14-hour day away from home, but it was the funnest day I’ve enjoyed in recent memory !  I had an awesome time at both places of work.

It was fun hangin’ out with Travis, Paul, Jesse, Alex, and Anne (you need a blog too) at the church office this afternoon, and I now have a ton of new stuff that I need to set up on my computer here at home to get started with my new position as Life Pointe’s ‘Director Of Cool’ as Pastor Travis is tentatively referring to it, or as the ‘Director Of Life Pointe Connections’ as I am tentatively referring to it (until I come up with something even more catchier or at least relevant).

I’ll get it all ready and organized by this upcoming Saturday night. I’ll need to because I go to work and hit it hard on Sunday afternoon after I return home from the two services with everything that I need to do to get connected with everyone. I’m really looking forward to it all.

Well that’s what I’ve got for tonight as far as ‘Bedtime Stories’ is concerned. It’s my only blog entry for this Monday. I’ll be back on the blog tomorrow (Tuesday) after 4 PM with my most-anticipated ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.

Have a safe, peaceful, and relaxing Monday night everyone, and until we blog again remember this:

Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man.

Bedtime Stories

In a postscript to my ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’ I’ve got 4 other variations of what happened this morning at Life Pointe. Be sure to catch the following blogs from these fine Life Pointe bloggers:

  • Travis – He posted his ‘Sunday Wrap-Up’.
  • Phil – He posted his ‘Sunday Soup’.
  • Ritz – He posted his ‘Sunday Goosfraba’.
  • Anne – She posted her ‘Kids’ Life’ report.

A blogger can be defined as one who writes blogs, or one who reads blogs. You don’t need your own blog to be a blogger. If you are reading other peoples’ blogs then you are by definition a blogger. You are a blogger because you are reading this. Keep on blogging.

That’s ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Sunday night. I’ll catch you on the flip side tomorrow (Monday) for some more blogging action. Until we meet again remember this:

Romans 12:1-2 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
[1] And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice — the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.
[2] Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  It was still twilight outside at 7:30 AM when we arrived at the movie theatre to transform it into our corporate place of worship that we know as Life Pointe Church. Just across the street at Campbell Drive Middle School Christ Fellowship Church was setting up their brand new location. I think that our stretch of Campbell Drive between our two places of worship should be renamed ‘King Of Kings Boulevard’.

2.  I learned this morning that Anne J. personally made all of the black tablecloths that are used on top of all of our Hospitality tables in the main lobby. They seem to be slowly disappearing too. I have a feeling that Anne will soon be making a few more for us.

3.  With Lisa and Luciana setting up the Kids’ Life Registration table every Sunday morning you just know that there’s going to be something different added to the display to enhance it even further. Pastor Paul stated announced that the Kids’ Life table and the Guests’ Information table are not in direct competition with each other. Thanks for the reminder Paul. I passed on that information to Terry and Patricia.

4.  Pastor Paul led this week’s teaching, and it was all about worship. It is the Spirit that refers to our expressions of worship, and it is the Truth that refers to our lifestyle of worship. We do not ‘go to’ worship. We do not ‘attend’ worship. We live worship. It is our lifestyle. Just as we do not ‘go to’ church or ‘attend’ church because that signifies that a church is a building. We are the church – 24-7.  Wherever we go, and whatever we do we should always be the church.

5.  We are just 12 days away from the biggest Easter celebration that Homestead has ever seen. It all happens on Good Friday March 21ST from 7 to 9 PM at Harris Field in the heart of Homestead as we present the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’. For more information on this mega-extravaganza for the whole family be sure to check out our special web site for this event at easterinhomestead.com.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Blaze Of Glory” – Audio Adrenaline – 2006
(Originally performed by The Alarm – 1983)

It’s funny how they shoot you down when your hands are held up high. And you open up your heart and soul, but that’s not enough for most, NO !

I remember this much. There is nothing you shouldn’t speak of when you’ve got something to say.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

The law of the jungle says you look after yourself, but I remember this much. I love as I’ve been loved myself. Don’t forget what I told you now when the questions keeps on a-coming, and it’s ‘how much more can you take’ but you keep on.

Going out in a blaze of glory. Setting your sights on the sky. They can offer you anything at all, but your dreams must not be sold.

Going out in a blaze of glory. No price is high enough. I’m fighting back with feeling. I’m fighting back with love.

And the nails are hammered into your hands, and the cross is heavy. Keep on !  Don’t you know that it’s time to make a stand ?  It’s time to make a stand !

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My hands are held up high. I’m learning how to hit back. Yes I’m learning how to fight.

Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.

{Fade Out.}
