’54 Buick

6.3.2005 — 2 Comments

My buddy Dale Long showed up here at the church this morning driving his classic ’54 Buick.

The thing has no door handles inside or out! Hidden buttons on the outside and inside pop-open the doors.

Usually when someone has a sweet retro car, they let people look at it and drool over it.

I did a lot of that. Until he said “Wanna drive it?”

Today I drove a car that was built the year my dad was born! Pretty fun ‘break’ this morning!

Couldn’t sleep last night.

Got up at 2AM and wrote out this weekend’s sermon outline!

Spent the majority of the day in the office turning last night’s scribbles into workable notes for Sunday’s message.

While taking periodic writer’s-block breaks, I stumbled upon two of my hero’s websites: Chris and Cliff Powell were teens in the church Dad pastored when I was born in Easton, Maryland. Cliff has been a rockstar for many years now and apparently Chris is planning on running for President! (or atleast he should?!)

Movie - The Longest YardJess and I went and saw the first movie in a while at the theater this past weekend. We went with our buddy Phil.

The movie was entertaining, however, the non-entertainment factor kind of distorts the parts that were entertaining.

The movie was FULL of homosexual “humor”, though putting those two words next to each other is an oxymoron to a Christ-follower.

Adam Sandler does his best to be just like he is in every movie. An all-star cast will make this movie a favorite for many movie-goers. I have not seen the original 1974 version (they had movies in ’74?!), but I’d assume that this version was a LOT more on the “edge” than the original.

It was another non child-friendly movie, yet there were numerous families viewing the film in its entirety. I can’t imagine having to explain to a 7-10 year old some of the “humor” that wasn’t humorous in that film.

Meet the newest member of the Lowe family:



John Bradyn Lowe IV

The baby’s father, JB, called me about 30-minutes after baby was born. I jumped in the car and headed to the hospital instantly.

I was told on the phone by an excited new father that he was 20-pounds and 7-inches long!

He was actually 7-pounds and 20-inches long, but who’s counting!
