Friday Night Blogroll Review

It’s my favourite blogs of the week:

Jesse celebrated Father’s Day. *MAJOR BLOGGIE AWARD WINNER *

Tammy has a whole list of movies that she wishes to see at the box office.

That’s it for the local blogs this week. Once upon a time it took me at least an hour every Friday afternoon to go through everyone’s blog to find my favourite posts of the week. Now I can get it done in less than 15 minutes.

As of 4:30 PM EDT today nearly 164,000 new blog posts had been published right here on WordPress with nearly 261,000 new comments. The rumours of blogging’s death have been greatly exaggerated.

– Today evolved into one of the greatest days in recent memory.
– Most of the day was spent inside of a conference room.
– Thursdays are like the final 15 minutes of a typical episode of “The Apprentice“.
– Thursdays are like the Super Bowl, and Fridays are like the off-season.

Dynamite Magazine - September 1977

– I’ve got a lot of work to do around the home.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

GRITS stands for Grammatical Revolution In The Spirit, and the duo comes to us from Music City U.S.A. – Nashville Tennessee. They were once part of the legendary group known as dc Talk (also featuring tobyMac). GRITS music has been featured on several movie soundtracks, various MTV shows, and TNA wrestling.

In 2006 they released their 8TH studio album “Redemption”. It included this gem featuring Los Angeles California rapper Pigeon John. It’s “Open Bar”, and it was one of the first hip hop / rap radio singles that I discovered during the first year of my fantastic journey with God. In fact it made me realize that such an eclectic genre of Christian music actually existed in the first place. It’s hip hop and rap music that’s clearly on the side of God. Anything is possible when you are aligned with God. This may be all about an “Open Bar”, but this is not what you think it is. There’s living water in this bar, so get your mind in order. It’s in the lyrics:

The Major’s Picture Gallery – Family Portraits

This past Saturday morning in a well orchestrated event planned many months in advance by my brother’s wife – Christina – we went to a local photo studio (in Allen Texas) to get our pictures taken. It was me, my Mom, my Dad, my Brother, and his wife / my Sister-In-Law. We got our portraits professionally taken – first all 5 of us, then just my Mom and my Dad, then me, my Brother, and my Sister-In-Law, then just me and my Brother, and then just my Brother and my Sister-In-Law.

And now for the very first time in the entire 25-month history of this blog I present to you the overwhelming evidence that I actually have a real-life Brother and a Sister-In-Law that live northeast of Dallas Texas:
