You know what you want on a Friday night. That’s why you’re here !

The baptisms last Sunday afternoon at Homestead Bayfront Park went on without incident, and Pastor Travis has all of the proof that you need.

Phil debuted his own version of the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ today, and he called it ‘Friday’s Grestest Hits’. I looked up ‘grest’ in the dictionary, and I couldn’t find it in there. That word – along with ‘goosfaba’ – may need to be added to the new book that I’m planning to write that’s all about misspelled words. They are the loneliest words in the world !

Jesse recaps his Sunday – from the stage to the beach to his home.

Blake and Diego are chillin’.

Bill may actually love Homestead after all !

Let us pray with Luci !

Pastor Nathan is back in town, back at work, and back on the blogosphere.

Bedtime Stories

What a crazy day it was today. During a 15½-hour time-span away from home from 5:50 AM to 9:20 PM here’s what I did (in a nutshell):

1. I went to work.

2. I attended a nice retirement luncheon at work (picnic-style outside) for a lady / colleague who has worked at the base since the mid-1970s. The base is losing a financial wizard as she walks off into the sunset.

3. I drove straight from work over to the Life Pointe Church offices in old historic uptown Homestead. Venus and I will be starring in this Sunday’s promotional video for the continuing ‘Got Funk ?’ message series. I won’t be there to see it world premiere on the big screen this Sunday morning (showtimes at approximately 9:25 and 10:55), but I’m pretty sure that you crazy cats will tell me all about it here on my blog on Sunday afternoon. I must warn you though that this latest creation from Fuser Films Of Homestead (Jesse S.) is somewhat scandalous and downright shocking. You’re not gonna believe what comes out of my mouth in the acting role of a lifetime. This is what all of Life Pointe Church is going to be talking about out in the main lobby after both services ! You’re not gonna wanna miss it pal.

4. From the LPC offices I drove straight over to Anne J.’s and J.T.’s house for Life Group. Tonight was ‘Fellowship Night’, so we enjoyed lots of food and fun and games. We played Outburst. My team (which included Venus, Nicole, Willie, and J.T. lost 62-60). It was a lot of fun though, and that’s what really matters.

5. I got home late tonight, and I realized that I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday afternoon after I get home from work in preparation for my upcoming vacation – such as doing laundry and packing. I shall GIT-R-DONE !

But right now all I’m thinking about is getting some rest, so I’ll be shutting everything down and doing just that over the next 45 minutes or so. Have a wonderful Wednesday evening everyone, and be sure to catch me again on here tomorrow night for your ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. It’s the one that’s gonna make you tremble in fear – or not !

Good Night Everyone ! Good Night Anne J. !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

It’s the most anticipated blog entry of the week. This is how we roll on a Tuesday night in Homestead Florida !

1. George Carlin died over the weekend at the age of 71. While I didn’t agree with virtually all of his political viewpoints (as he identified them in public) he was still one of the greatest and funniest comedians in American history as far as I’m concerned. I will miss his LIVE HBO specials every few years.

2. I ate Chinese Food for Lunch today. I picked it up from Shanghai & Tokyo in Homestead’s Waterstone Plaza. I’m a semi-regular there. They usually give me two fortune cookies to go along with my ‘Lunch Special’. Later tonight I’ll have your special ‘double feature’ edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’. Don’t miss it !

3. Earlier today I went to annualcreditreport.com and I printed out three full and complete credit reports for me from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. annualcreditreport.com is the only site that is legally able to give you free copies of your credit report from all three of those credit bureau sites. I did all of this in less than 45 minutes this morning, and I got over 30 pages of important credit information spanning virtually my entire adult life.

4. I thrive in a hot and humid environment (such as Homestead). I could not live happily ever after in a cold and dry environment – or a hot and dry environment for that matter. It’s hotter in San Antonio (where I’ll be next week) than it is here in Homestead, but it’s less humid over there than it is over here. I’d rather have the extra humidity rather than the higher temperatures.

5. I’ve become a semi-regular of the new Starbucks in Homestead. The people that work there are now starting to recognize me and my car. So far I have received consistent great service from them – inside as well as via their drive-thru. Let’s hope that it stays that way.

6. The following 5 things kept me preoccupied for 7 hours yesterday at my Saturn dealership in Cutler Bay:
a. My iPod Shuffle
b. The latest edition of ‘Entertainment Weekly‘ (magazine)
c. The Miami Herald (newspaper)
d. TV Guide Crosswords & Sudokus
e. Life Pointe Church follow-up spreadsheet (printed out)

7. Some people have a chronic addiction to their cell phone. They just can’t stop calling people all over the free nation and sharing their private lives in public via their loud cell phone conversations. No wonder identity theft exists. Remember the good old days when telephone conversations were done in private inside the home ?

8. Homestead Trivia – How many miles apart are Speedway Boulevard (SW 137TH Avenue) and Krome Avenue (SW 177TH Avenue) ? The answer – exactly 4.0 miles. In Miami-Dade County each numbered avenue is exactly 0.1 miles apart to the grid. 40 avenues apart = 4.0 miles. It’s that simple my friends !

9. Me, My Brother, His Wife, & Fuddruckers – That’s the plan for Lunch as soon as I touch down in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex this Saturday. After that we will all go and play a round of minature golf. I totally dig that plan !

10. Next week your ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ will come to you LIVE from the River Walk in San Antonio. I’m also planning at least a couple of special editions of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’. You’re not gonna wanna miss it my friends.
