“Kirkage” couldn’t help me with the headlights today – we’ll have to reschedule next week…
Instead I did some “fun” cleaning around the house today. I’m pretty sure I gave myself a headache by cleaning the bathroom with multiple cleaning solutions… A nap took care of most of the headache.
Today was one of those days that even though I closed my office door to attempt at “getting ahead” or even “getting caught up” – still feel like I have more work to do on Friday when I get BACK into the office than when I first arrived this morning.
Interesting.
Good time @ theBOX tonight. When I say “good time”, I guess I mean that I shared my heart and hopefully that represents a “good time” for me consistently. To REALLY know if it was a “good time”, I guess you’d have to ask some of my teens…
Talked about being SOLD OUT for Christ tonight – took the example of the “rich, young ruler” and expounded. The “rich, young ruler” became the “average Christian teenager”. Instead of “wealth”, this “average Christian teenager” had music, friends, pornography, video games, and other things he wasn’t willing to give up – EVEN THOUGH he did all the “other stuff”. He read his Bible daily, came to “theBOX”, prayed, obeyed his parents, etc.
The point was that being SOLD OUT to Christ has LITTLE to do with RULE-FOLLOWING and MUCH to do with loving Christ with every ounce of being that we have. I think I got a little carried away near the end of the message – I was sweating like a pig…
Tomorrow will be a nice day-away. I’m planning on hanging with “Kirkage” and he’s going to help me buff-out the headlights on the Neon. They’re pretty weathered.
Lost 15-5.
My stats: 0 for 2. First was a “ground out” second was a “pop fly out”.
Sad.
New league, new teams, bigger field, still fun!
So I read another small book this weekend. When I say “small”, I mean it – in fact, the reason it’s called a “guide” is probably because it’s not “really” to be classified as a book – being only 151 pages.
It was a good “guide”, though – I learned some pretty funny stuff in the process of reading…
The book guide was written by Matthew Paul Turner – former editor for CCM (Contemporary Christian Music Magazine) and is absolutely written MUCH like the way my brain works – very hilarious, with a touch of seriousness.
I’m still not sure that I would recommend my parents read this book – they may be offended, but the TRUTH inside this “guide” made me think, once again, about where I’ve come from, and honestly how “diverse” the church of Christ really is.
The warning inside the first few pages makes sense: “If those of you with no sense of humor are still reading: Yes, I do passionately love Jesus and look forward to spending eternity with Him and most of you.”
The book is published by RELEVANTbooks and is available pretty much anywhere!

I almost cried.
Anyone want to donate to the “next level” of cable for the Sheets’?
