Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends. It’s time for the Sunday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’.

What a crazy week it’s been here on this blog. Monday (April 14TH) was the ‘best day ever’ – by far. The following day – Tuesday (‘Tax Day’) – was the biggest Tuesday in our history. As it turns out it was our biggest 7-day (Monday to Sunday) week EVER !  Thanks so much for blogging with me – whether you read and run or read and comment. It is most appreciative !

This upcoming week I’ve got some really cool stuff coming up. I’ve got another exciting edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’ tomorrow (Monday) afternoon. Get ready for a special on-location in Orlando edition of the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’, as well as at least a couple of special editions of the ‘Tossed Salad’ from the 2008 National New Church Conference in Orlando. I may even throw in another edition of ‘The Chris Day Club’ while I’m at it !

Incidentally if you wish to see some pictures of me here on this blog then send some pictures of me via E-Mail. I keep getting my picture taken at Life Pointe Church services and events, yet I never see those pictures. Somebody has those pictures of me. If you send them to me than I will post some of them for all to see. I don’t own a camera. I have never owned a camera. I don’t want a camera. I have a photographic memory. I am fortunate for that, but most people are not.  😉

OK that’s my schpeel for tonight. I wish you all a safe, peaceful, and blessed Sunday night with your loved ones. Take good care of yourselves, and I’ll see you all again … when I see you all again … which means Tuesday morning for a bunch of you that will be in Orlando with me.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Venus !

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends. It’s time for the Thursday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – right here – right now !

TODAY is the 27TH birthday of my little brother’s wife who believe it or not is a proud member of ‘The Chris Day Club’. Ever since she came into my brother’s life she became the ‘Chris’ in my family and I became the ‘Christopher’ (or any of a bunch of other nicknames that my brother has for me). Of course when I refer to her I call her ‘Christina’ because I am the original ‘Chris’.  🙂

My brother celebrates his 33RD birthday in just about 16 days. Hey Bunky send me an E-Mail (or comment this blog entry) with a list of your 3 favourite stores to shop at. Do it as soon as possible so that I can order and send your gift out to you in the mail.

I am reminded that this is the 17TH of the month. It was exactly 11 months ago today that the coolest cat that ever lived with me – Boots – passed on to the Feline Wing of Heaven. He’s hangin’ out with Fluffy and Barney up above now. I will always love you buddy !  You were my best friend for 12½ years of my life.

Next week I’m headed up to Orlando with a few cool friends of mine such as Travis and Paul and Jesse and Alex and Anne J. and Venus. It’s going to be very interesting to return to that place for the first time since my rebirthing. As Pastor Travis loves to say I’ll be ‘kicking the devil in his teeth’ and ‘shooting him in the eye with a squirt gun’ as I hang out with my new friends at this awesome event in a city that I used to visit on a regular basis for over 13 years during the darkness of my previous life.

Thursdays are MASSIVE blog days for proud members of my blogroll. They know that the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ is less than 24 hours away, so they were on their ‘A’ game today in a dire effort to make the ‘Blogroll Review’ for this week. You can catch it right here on my blog tomorrow afternoon sometime after 4 PM EDT.

I’ve also planned another healthy two-mile-plus walk around my neighbourhood for Saturday morning, so be sure to be there for another exciting edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’.

And so until we hang out again here on this blog I wish you a safe, peaceful, and blessed Thursday night with your loved ones. Thank you so much for being my friend, and for living Life with me on this fantastic journey.

Have a great evening everyone !

Bedtime Stories

This is the 33RD edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by I Love Cheese.com.

TODAY I enjoyed a 3½-hour Lunch with Paul and Phil at Homestead’s historic White Lion Cafe. We ate delicious food non-stop for about 1½-hours, and then we just sat there and talked about the world for the next two-hours after that. One of the estimated 53 topics of discussion that involved the three of us (as well as three employees of the restaurant) was the correct spelling of f-e-t-t-u-c-c-i-n-e. That occupied a good 15 minutes of our precious time together. By the time it was all said and done I felt like I had attended and graduated from Lee University in Cleveland Tennessee, as I had lived vicariously through Paul’s and Phil’s experiences of a lifetime there. I had a great time of fun, food, and fellowship, and we’ll have to do it all over again sometime soon !

In other news we’ve just completed the biggest Friday in the history of this blog. Over the past 21 days we have now scored our biggest Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday here on this blog as far as unique hits are concerned. THANKS to everyone for blogging with me on here !

TOMORROW MORNING on the blog I’ve got what could be the Spring season finale of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’. Be there as I report on my walk all around my neighbourhood. Then on Sunday afternoon get in on some fun, food, and fellowship of your own over at Homestead Bayfront Park as Life Pointe Church invades the beach for our bimonthly picnic. If you can’t make it over there then read all about it on the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’ later that afternoon.

And so there you go with your ‘Bedtime Stories’ on a Friday night. Have a nice and pleasant evening with your loved ones, get some rest, and I’ll catch you all back here on the blog real soon.

Until we hang out again … remember this:

$38.00 To Fill Up My Car With Gas

TODAY I filled up my car with gas. Here are the vital stats:

Number Of Days Since My Last Fill-Up – 18 (right on par for 2008)

Total Gallons – 11.212 (the most since immediately following Hurricane Wilma in October 2005)

Cost Per Gallon – $3.389 (the highest ever)

Total Cost – $38.00 (the highest ever)

As I identified above I typically fill-up my car with gas about every 18 days, so with that $38.00 fill-up that’s an average of about $2.11 per day in gas that I utilize to drive in and around Homestead.

I was recently accused of being in the oil business due to the fact that I continue to defend the current price of gas here in the U.S. The facts are:

– I am not an oil tycoon, none of my friends or family members are in the oil business, and I do not own stock in any oil company.

– The U.S. is in the bottom 10 in the world as far as gas prices are concerned, and when gas prices are matched up against the per capita income of the average citizen of this country we pay less for gas than any other country in the entire world.
