Other Weekend Thoughts

September 2, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Think I “drank” too much of the dunking booth water…plus I was really cold afterwards so I was fighting a minor bug all weekend so we pretty much took it easy.
  • Rented a couple of movies.  “21” was decent but predictable.  “Vantage Point” was really unique but in order to fit all the uniqueness in, they couldn’t develop the plot all that well…however both would be worth your time…they were entertaining.
  • Just couldn’t get a good feel for the message so I spent much more time than usual on Saturday continuing to work on the delivery part.
  • Still wasn’t happy with 9:15 but by 10:45 I thought it was acceptable but definitely not a home-run.
  • Saturday night we went to the Miller household to see their daughter Stephanie who was in town for the first time since her bad car accident many months ago.
  • She’s a walking miracle…prayer really does work.
  • Brian set-up karaoke and I just couldn’t resist doing the classic Right Said Fred song, “I’m too Sexy.”  Really it wasn’t the singing part I wanted to do, but the walking the catwalk part.
  • I did just enough for Lisa to laugh and for me to be embarrassed.
  • Not sure why she’s always found this song hysterical but I do what I can to make her smile.
  • I don’t like to be out on Saturday night’s that I have to preach so we left at 9PM…yes everyone called us old.
  • Met with a guy on Sunday whom United was created for.
  • He’s truly trying to figure out this whole Jesus thing…and has a lot of great questions. 
  • He tried to apologize for the questions and even the way they were presented…but I quickly told him not to worry about it…because it’s guys like him that were trying to reach.
  • I then said something clearer than I’ve ever said it…I told him that there are literally hundreds of churches in our area that can keep Christians happy, but only a handful are designed to help guys like him discover what Jesus is all about.
  • Sunday night we ate Chinese with some friends and then played cards.
  • Yesterday on Oxymoron day I actually did labor until lunch time and then took it easy.
  • The highlight was the season premiere of Prison Break…love that show!
  • Today is catch up day since yesterday was supposed to be a benefit.
  • Since Sunday’s still roll around every 7 days, holidays are actually a bad thing for me because it just means I’m behind.
  • Tonight we’re getting together with our small group to celebrate a couple of birthdays.
  • From what I remember, the grill will be cooking up steaks, ribs, shrimp and other goodies will be served as well!
  • Yet another reason to love small group!
