Bet you'll be sorry you asked.
Advent ~ Just caught a hint of Christmas music from a friend in Florida, Marcus Naugler, worship music leader at Real Life Church in Clermont. Got me in the mood. I'm thankful for great worship music leaders and musicians of our day and what they bring to our spiritual journey.
Big Buts ~I heard that the pastor of that same church in Florida on Sunday commented that he thought someone should write a book on the Big Buts of the Bible. He said he googled it up... and found ME. How cool--I'm google-famous for having an affection for big buts! Oh, and yes, the editing continues. Please continue praying for me in that regard.
The Local Church Community ~ As I mentioned earlier this week on the blog, I've taken to listing and linking other local congregations on our CCA site. A few of the other congregations are planning to do the same. Meanwhile, we're planning to offer a Marriage Seminar to our community as a joint effort in May of 2011, bringing in a nationally known Marriage Ministry. And we're planning a worship music get-together in early 2011. It is so wonderful to be THE CHURCH instead of a bunch of little churches.
DWTS ~ So everyone is up in arms that Bristol Palin is still 'alive' in the competition. I'm not. I think there is something to be said for the fact that she is not an entertainer. Jennifer Gray and Brandi--last time I looked they were known as dancers in their respective fields. What challenge is that? But a teenage mom from Wasilla, Alaska? Go Bristol. (And go tea-party. Who else do you think is voting her along?)
What's In A Name? ~ We're on the verge of adding a new quadroped to the family. We're in discussion as a family over the right name. Popular with the girls is Snoop-Dog. I'm not sure about that one. I'm thinking that registering him at Town Hall with a name like Snoop-Dog might put us on a surveillance list or something. Shari and I like Teddy (after one of my favorite Presidents) or Tedi (after one of my favorite Linebackers). A sleeper choice is Howie... just because it sounds silly--no offense to any of you named Howie. Of course, this little guy has a name already. Bode. Perhaps we will just leave him be a Bode. Any suggestions?
Five Weeks ~I suppose it's about time I spill the beans on these little anniversary celebrations I've been Tweeting and FBing. Perhaps in a post here tomorrow...
What's on your mind?
