Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

If a Tuesday night ever goes by without me posting my ‘Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ with no advance explanation whatsoever then please call the cops because something bad must have happened to me !

1.  For the first time since the mid-1980s I am NOT watching “The Tonight Show” on NBC-TV. Johnny Carson was the King of Late Night, and Jay Leno followed-up admirably for 17 years. I rarely missed a show (on tape). I am NOT a fan of Conan O’Brien. Nothing personal. I just don’t like his unique style of comedy. I’ll be awaiting “The Jay Leno Show” weeknights this Fall at 10 PM.

2.  “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here !“, and I’m so addicted – all over again !   I was actually one of the few fans of the original 2003 ABC-TV incarnation of the show, and here we go again in 2009 with more D-List celebrities out in the jungle again. I reserve the right to remain silent regarding my opinions on apparent Christians Heidi and Spencer.

3.  Dude the “Ice Road Truckers” are back in action on History, and my Sunday nights this Summer are now so totally complete. It’s the most riveting one-hour of television for me every single week. It’s my adrenaline rush on a Sunday night, and it’s probably the last thing I need right before I go to sleep prior to the start of another new work week.

4.  Homestead Air Reserve Base received 13.01 inches of rain during the second-half of May. That’s more rain than the base received combined during the 7½ months prior to that going back to the start of last October. As it turns out it was one of the wettest Mays in modern recorded history. What a wild way to end one of the dryest of dry seasons in modern recorded history.

5.  My extended 87-hour 42ND birthday celebration weekend commences in less than 48 hours this Thursday afternoon at 1530 local. That’s 3:30 PM to those of you non-military types (2:30 PM Central / 1:30 PM Mountain / 12:30 PM Pacific). I’ve got what is expected to be a totally crammed weekend of events that are now piled up high just as soon as the long weekend begins for me. But even that is no excuse to abandon my blogging ministry, so be sure to stick around and watch what happens !  You won’t regret it pal.

We visited the following places (in chronological order):

1.  Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park (Card Sound Road)
– We got eaten alive by hundreds of biting mosquitoes there. I’m still scratching.

2.  Long Key State Park (MM-67.4)
– Nice nature trail that leads to an observation tower.

3.  Curry Hammock State Park (MM-56.2)
– Popular family beach with a couple of tour buses and lots of kids playing.

4.  Sombrero Beach (MM-50.5)

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

It’s the 5TH Sunday of May in 2009, and here are my takeaways from Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning:

– Richie N. is on a mission every Sunday morning at 7:20 AM.
– All he wants to do is transform a movie theatre lobby into a church lobby.
– Anne J. was back in town and taking charge of the Hospitality section.
– J.T. gave free tours of his hot new bright red sports car in-between services.
– J.T. stated that he is NOT having a mid-life crisis.
– J.T. does NOT make old age noises while getting in and out of his low-rider.
– J.T. does NOT wish to get a speeding ticket on the Turnpike.
– Kelly D. was looking for material for her Monday morning show on CALL-FM.
– She may talk about … JUICE.
– Everything was back to normal for the early 9 AM service.
– That’s because Rita B. was back where she belongs.
– Pastor Travis led this week’s teaching subtitled ‘Men Of A Revolution’.
– Jesus Christ is my role model.
– He sparked a revolution.
– I wish to constantly lift Him up – not myself or others.
– Nobody even comes close to Him.
– I choose to love God in public.
– I love Him more than any one and any thing.
– I choose to be a revolutionary man.
– The world should be able to clearly see God’s glory in me.
– Where your treasure is – that’s where your heart is.
– Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you’re superior.
– Just because you’re weak doesn’t mean you’re inferior.
– Jesus honoured us by becoming weak and loving us as is.
– Jesus died for us so that we could live.

This week’s teaching was based on the following Scriptures:
– 1 Peter 3:7
– John 1:1, 14
– Colossians 3:19
– 1 Timothy 2:8
– Titus 2:1, 2, 6
– Ephesians 5:31-32
– 1 Corinthians 7:1-7
