TOMORROW on the big blog I’ll have your ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. It’s the most spontaneous blog entry of the entire week. I have absolutely no clue what I plan to blog about – until I actually sit down here at my ancient laptop and let my fingers do the talking. It could be lame, obvious, sensible, surprising, controversial, shocking, or horrifying !  Be sure to grab your crew and send them on over to this blog tomorrow afternoon at around 4 PM for this weekly escapade through my brain.

I’m being taken out to Lunch for my birthday tomorrow at the White Lion Cafe. It’s Homestead’s finest restaurant, and perhaps the only joint in town that can qualify as ‘fine dining’. I’ll probably definitely have a few words to say about my culinary experience on tomorrow’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’, so consider yourself warned. Don’t miss it. You won’t regret it pal. Keep it real.

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  The Setup and Hospitality team just keeps on growing exponentially, and that’s a great thing. More and more of our regular attenders are making that next big step on God’s fantastic journey and volunteering their services for our various ministries. There’s plenty of room for everyone to serve God and His children at Life Pointe Church. If you’re interested in joining our team then be sure to visit the Ministries page of our fresh new official web site. You can also call our office during the week (from 8:30 AM to 5 PM) and say, ‘SIGN ME UP !

2.  An estimated 50% of our church population on any given Sunday morning are regular attenders – but not members. A frequently asked question at Life Pointe Church is ‘How do I become a member ?’. Another popular question is ‘Why should I become a member ?’. For those of you who have already signed up for our Membership Luncheon at the Capri Restaurant in Florida City (where all of the food is) you will learn all about the ‘How’ and the ‘Why’ regarding our membership. I officially became a member of my church on Sunday December 09TH 2007. It was the next big step on God’s fantastic journey. I’ll tell you all about it next week at the Capri !

3.  We began a 10-week message series this morning entitled ‘Got Funk ?’  It’s all about Paul’s words to the Church at Philippi. They were good people that were dealing with difficulties such as loneliness, suffering, death, humility, temptation, conflict, exhaustion, anxiety, and poverty. It’s a study of the Book of Philippians – this Summer at the LPC. Grab your crew and join us each Sunday morning at Flagship Cinemas. We do two services – one starts at 9 AM and the other starts at 10:30 AM. Come early to get free Starbucks coffee and a good seat at the 9 AM service !

4.  Imagine – a 3RD Sunday morning service at Life Pointe Church.
Imagine – a separate Sunday morning service that’s entirely en Español.
Imagine – a 2ND campus for Life Pointe Church at a school auditorium or perhaps even another movie theatre.
Imagine – You helping to make any of these dreams a reality.
Stop imagining. Do it.

5.  I’m not the only one that reports on the goings-on at Life Pointe Church on any given Sunday morning. Check out these cool blogs from Pastor Travis, LL Phil J, and David ‘Ritz Crackah’ D. At press time none of these cool cats had published their memoirs of this morning, so check them out later tonight or on Monday. You won’t regret it pal.

Incidentally if you are a Life Pointe Church blogger with a blog and I never mention you then I probably don’t know about you or your blog. Let me know about you so that we can link our blogs together.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Last Regret” – Seventh Day Slumber – 2008
(Currently # 3 on ‘The Major’s Hit Music Box‘)

This song could have been written for me.

Lost in the game –
Finally I can say I’m proud of me.
No hope at all –
A day that I believed would never come.
No one to blame –
The shadows of my past have been erased.
A Life that only God Himself could change.

I never dreamed that Life could feel this way.
Don’t wake me please.
I’ve finally found the place where I belong.
Only one regret –
All those years I lost for nothing at all.

Laughing in pain –
Searching for a reason to exist.
World torn apart –
Excuses left me breathless and ashamed.
Slipping away –
I found a purpose that’s worth fighting for.
The memories don’t haunt me anymore.

I never dreamed that Life could feel this way.
Don’t wake me please.
I’ve finally found the place where I belong.
Only one regret –
All those years I lost for nothing at all.

I never dreamed that Life could feel this way.
Don’t wake me please.
I’ve finally found the place where I belong.
Only one regret –
All those years I lost for nothing at all.
All those years I lost for nothing at all.

Saturday Morning Shenanigans

I went to the Atlanta Bread Company here in Homestead this morning, and for the 2ND time and 2ND Saturday morning visit in exactly 7 weeks I received NO customer service and NO food even though I was in the store for over 15 minutes !

That’s as far as I’ll discuss about this particular experience here on this blog. I have already written and submitted a comment online about the specific details of this morning’s experience to Corporate Headquarters in Smyrna Georgia. I do not plan to visit this store location again anytime soon.

Knowing full well that my overall experiences (about a half a dozen of them) at the Atlanta Bread Company have been far below average I already had a back-up plan in mind, and so after I stormed out of there this morning I enacted ‘Plan B’ by heading over to Publix (where shopping is a pleasure) to release my frustrations by buying food and groceries. (That always seems to do the trick.) I then slipped in to McDonald’s to buy a cheap breakfast (including their # 1 rated coffee). Good Stuff !

… And so those are my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ …
