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.

Bedtime Stories

This is ‘Bedtime Stories’ for a Tuesday night, and this edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ is all about things that I’m looking forward to doing soon.

– I’m looking forward to a fun night of food and fellowship with my Life Group family tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

– I’m looking forward to eating Lunch with this dude and this dude on Friday.

– I’m looking forward to quite possibly the Spring season finale of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ bright and early this Saturday morning.

– I’m looking forward to another fantastic Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church followed by an afternoon of fun, food, and fellowship at Homestead Bayfront Park with my church family.

– I’m looking forward to returning to Orlando for the first time in this new Life in two weeks to attend ‘The 2008 National New Church Conference‘. Returning to a place that I used to visit several times per year for all of the wrong reasons will be quite the accomplishment for me considering the reason why I am going up there this time around. I have lived the darkness and now I am alive in the daylight. I’ll be chasing that daylight straight up to Orlando to the former scene of the crimes. Get out of my way Satan. I have no time and no use for you anymore. I’m a Jesus Freak now. I praise Him !  I worship Him !  I follow Him !

Well that pretty much wraps things up for this blog tonight. This was another one of those ‘spur-of-the-moment’ blog entries that came to me as I typed it on here. I didn’t plan it. It just spontaneously happened. It seems like whenever I just let my fingers do the talking on here it always leads back to Him. He’s that amazing.

Have a really cool Tuesday night everyone with your loved ones, and I shall anxiously await your return to this blog again tomorrow. I love you all !

Bedtime Stories

Good Evening Friends it’s time for a quick late-night edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ on this glorious Wednesday night.

I just got home from Life Group at J.T.’s and Anne’s house. Food, Fellowship, and God. That’s how we roll on Wednesday nights, and it all leads back to Him – The Lord Almighty – Up Above. There is no other bigger, better, and more powerful than Him. We believe. We receive. We have taken Jesus at His word. We have accepted His control of our Life. We are acting in obedience to His instructions. It is all about Him.

Pastor Paul left a voice mail for me at home this afternoon while I was at work. He told me to call him as soon as possible. I did so as soon as I got home. He had an interesting and exciting opportunity that he wants to share with me later this month. I’m 100% sure that I want to take advantage of this incredible experience to further my progression on God’s fantastic journey, and I’m about 90% sure that I can take a few days off from work to do it. I’ll find out for sure tomorrow at work when I complete a leave form and turn it in to my supervisour. If he accepts and approves it then I’m there !

Be sure to catch this blog in action tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got your ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ for you sometime after 4 PM. It’s a common bathroom product that kills germs dead, but can it also kill blood-sucking mosquitoes dead on contact ?  We’ll find out together tomorrow !

Until then I wish you all a safe and peaceful Wednesday night. A new day arrives in the morning, and it’s another glorious opportunity to chase that daylight and seize every moment that comes your way. Do it all for Him.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Kristina M. !
