Random Thoughts

November 18, 2010 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Been awhile since I’ve done one of these.
  • Okay the truth is, I’m working on the 2011 budget and I don’t feel good to begin with so I’m procrastinating.
  • Procrastinators of the world unite…tomorrow.
  • That’s one of my favorite t-shirts…but here’s my favorite.
  • No wait…my favorite is this one.  “Oh carp”  :)
  • Ok while I’m on a roll…earlier I was listening to the radio and for some reason this question popped into my head…Do you think that Katie Holmes calls Tom Cruise her shorty?
  • Now for those of you that are concerned about what the flu medicine is doing to me…realize I haven’t taken in yet…this is how my mind works.
  • Here’s another random thing…I found two vials of bubbles in my car today from either the Miller or Swisher weddings.  Guessing I should clean it out.
  • Just put in two pieces of Dubble Bubble to chew on…love it…but nothing beats the memories of stuffing my mouth full of Big League Chew as a kid.
  • Wow these are really random today…
  • On a more serious note, things are going really well with the new church…in addition to the budget I’m working today on some radio spots that we’ll be running over the next few months.
  • Wondering if they’ll be as controversial as the mailers we sent out this summer and fall?
  • Amazing how riled up people got….angry phone calls, nasty letters and 1 threat of a lawsuit.
  • The mailers worked though…they were different enough that we had 2 TV stations do features on us and we made the front page of the Harrisburg paper.
  • I’ve also had 2 job offers to work in marketing departments of local companies and many others are continuing to tell me stories of neighbors and co-workers “standing around the water cooler” discussing our ads.
  • I’m excited that some of my extended family members are traveling to Harrisburg this weekend to check us out for the first time.  It’s a long trip but hopefully it will be worth it.
  • I applied to be a part of Senior Pastors network that is very limited to how many get in.  I’m praying I do…would be tremendously helpful now that I’m “on the other side of the desk”.
  • Tonight we’ve got rehearsal for the weekend and I’m super excited about what God is doing in this series, this weekend’s message and the kick-off song for  the conclusion of the series on the 28th…YES!!!!
  • Just saw my Capitals jersey lying here in my office.  Another great season so far, but as we saw last year, the regular season means nothing if you don’t come through in the play-offs.
  • Ummm speaking of play-offs…my Redskins suck.  They don’t deserve the play-offs…and according to this guy they don’t deserve much.
  • I’m fascinated to see where Facebook’s big announcement this week will lead.
  • If they can resolve some of their issues with handling info then it could be awesome to have everything all under one site.
  • Speaking of technology…I’m soon eligible for a new cell phone.  Mine has been giving me problems for months now but I’ve been waiting for the free up-grade.  Can’t wait!
  • It’s now 3PM and I just heard Lisa come home from the grocery store…guess it’s time for lunch…or at this time would it be dinner?  Linner?  Lupper?
  • Anyone else excited that Conan’s back on?  Last night Russell Brand was hysterical!
  • I wonder what Katy Perry’s parents (who are pastors) think of him?
  • Guessing that would be an interesting Thanksgiving meal to be at this week.
  • Mmmmm turkey.
  • Do you ever get the feeling that I might be ADD with my…oh look a car.  :)
  • Ok guess I should get back to work…love what I’m doing and the people I’m doing it with.  You’d think this would be a very stressful time but it’s not when you know you’re doing exactly what God wants.
  • So how about you?  Are you in God’s will for your life or are you just “getting by” and “living for the weekend”?  That’s no way to live…get a vision for your life that’s beyond yourself and I guarantee you’ll never regret it.
