33%

4.12.2005 — 3 Comments

So my battery is at 33% as I try and keep my eyes open this evening.

That’s probably something like 30-minutes left before my computer decides to turn itself off for the evening. Good thing I’m a quick-typer.

Marion was good this afternoon and evening. Got some good things talked out with “the guys”. I’m really excited about “The Advance” – a Youth Pastor and Sponsor training event that will be happening this Fall.

On the way to Marion, I of course stopped at the two Wallgreen’s stores to see if they had any toothbrushes.

Apparently you who read this site have found the deal yourselves.

There were none for the taking.

Sad.

The new Passion ’05 album is incredible – await a “full report” sometime tomorrow if time allows.

Time will allow.

I’m asleep now.

(not really because I wouldn’t still be typing..)

I’m pretty messed up right now – I’m trying to “calm” the thinking-part of my brain and yet I continue to type.

Some ideas that are “floating” right now (and will probably make their way into full-posts in the next couple of days):

-the pope is gone, and now the “process” by which they “pick” a NEW pope is weirding me out.
-the fact that I didn’t even HINT at being disturbed by the Shiavo case is plagueing my thoughts.
-ministry is tough
-i REALLY like Mt. Dew and wish I could get a free Mt. Dew machine for my office. (and/or a small fridge stocked full of the stuff)
-we gave our waiter a VERY nice tip tonight @ Applebee’s and I could write an entire book on how amazing it felt for us to do that and could write another book (post) on how awesome it must have made HIM feel tonight.
-my wife is the greatest
-and she snores makes funny “sleep” noises.

Marion.

In 5 minutes I will get in my car and enjoy my new Passion ’05 CD on my way to Marion.

I have a District Youth Cabinet meeting there this afternoon and evening.

The road to Marion is paved with boredom.

Passion will be inspiring. Maybe I’ll even sing along a bit.

Thank you Staci for the link this morning!

Bound4Life sent me my red “LIFE” arm-band today in the mail. I ordered it from their website a few weeks ago.

Bound4Life is a “post-modern” attempt at empowering those of us who are pro-life. They have a non-violent, non-explicit, and non-invasive plan to take a pro-life stand in today’s culture.

The Bound4Life Covenant:
– I will pray that abortion will end every time I see the bound for life wristband.
– I will vote for candidates who are actively pro-life.
– I will obey God as he leads me into the works of Compassion and Justice.

They ask that each of us pray this prayer, “Almighty God, I plead Jesus’ blood over my sins and the sins of this nation. End abortion and send revival to America.”

I’m particularly impressed with their “silent sieges” where they take a pro-life stand in silence wearing “LIFE” across their lips in red tape:

My 6″ Turkey sub from Subway took all of about 4 bites to finish.

I wish we had a Blimpie.
