Friday!

After a couple hours of work this morning in the office, I headed to Ft. Wayne for a hospital visit. After the visit, I did some Sam’s Club shopping and then had a late-lunch at the Anchor Room Cafe – a Christian bookstore North of town.

The trip home was quite miserable as it warmed up considerably and, if you remember, I have no air conditioning.

When I got back into town, I immediately stopped at Enterprise Rent-a-Car and booked a compact-car for next week’s trip to Grand Rapids. Today was my “let’s see if I could make it without air conditioning” test. I can’t.

I got a crazy deal, though, so I’m pretty happy with that!

Date night tonight. Goshen, here we come.

Katrina

9.2.2005 — 3 Comments

Last night I stayed up and watched two news programs completely devoted to the devastation surrounding the Katrina aftermath.

I’m in awe at just how terrible things have become in such a short amount of time.

In a time where it would be easy to criticize the relief efforts by our own government, I want to remind those of us who are many miles away from the problem to continue to pray for those who are making decisions. I can’t imagine the stress levels of those in charge right now.

MOVIEW REVIEW: “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”

9.1.2005 — Leave a comment

Jess and I just finished, “The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” on DVD after receiving it in the mail this afternoon.

First impression – 2 hours and 11 minutes of BBC-tv acting is TOO LONG. I can hardly wait to see the 2005-version that hits theaters this Christmas season.

Sure this version follows the movie pretty well, but I need more than cartoons over film to whet my “special effects appetite”.

I had originally thought that I had seen these movies growing up on PBS, but I was wrong. Nothing was familiar except that I had just read the book and could guess what the next scenes would be like.

I’m VERY hopeful that this next version coming out in a few months does better than two guys dressed up in a lion’s costume for Aslan, too!

I’m sure for 1988, this movie made-for-tv movie was ahead of its time. I’m hoping in 20 years I can say the same about the new movie coming out!

Just a reminder

Tomorrow is the release of Matthew Paul Turner’s book, “Provocative Faith“. Mr. Turner just sent me an e-mail reminding me of that fact!

Remember, I reviewed this book a while back.

Interesting Cloud

I’m pretty sure this is an exact replication of what Italy looks like.

Saw this in the sky a couple night ago and couldn’t help but take a picture.

My little sister heads to Italy sometime tonight, I think while I sleep.

She’s been in Bosnia now for 10 months and is taking a bit of a vacation to Italy and surrounding locations ON HER OWN.

Does this scare anyone else that knows my sister?

Possible scenarios:

01. Sherilyn becomes the queen of Italy.

02. Sherilyn finds her “inner-Italian” and decides to settle down as a gondola-operator.

03. Sherilyn takes it upon herself to let a local pizza shop know that THEIR pizza just isn’t as good as in America.

These and MANY other ideas are making my head spin.

Pray for Sher this week.

And visit her website: www.sherilynsheets.com
