Other Weekend Thoughts

August 11, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Did you catch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics?
  • Wow…now that was an Experience.
  • Wish we had that kind of budget!
  • Had relatives in from NC for the weekend.  They wanted to see the Dark Knight so we went again.
  • Gave me some more ideas for the message on the 31st.
  • We ate at the House of Kobe Japanese Restaurant in Hagerstown for dinner. 
  • It’s by far my favorite restaurant…and I’ll gladly accept trips to and gift certificates from there…subtle huh?
  • Found out that one of the persistent callers after the contest yesterday was my sister…some things will never change.
  • It’s neat reflecting back on the message from yesterday.  Although 95% of it was the same…it’s awesome how God lead me to say some slightly different things in both. 
  • VBS got off to a great start last night.
  • I’m a leader for the Tribe of Benjamin.
  • My costume is a little on the short side…showing a little knee!
  • Dianna and her team did an awesome job of transforming the church into ancient Galilee.
  • While our tribe was in the marketplace grabbing some food a woman whom I won’t embarrass by mentioning her name stopped me to say how much United has meant to her and her husband.
  • She starts crying as she’s telling her story and it was sort of weird…not her story, not that she’s crying, but that we’re standing in a make believe building in the multi-purpose room, in goofy looking costumes and we’re having such a serious conversation.
  • By the time I came home last night I had, except for lunch, been at the church for 14 hours…I was whipped.
  • Figured I’d use the DVR to quickly watch the NASCAR race. 
  • Wow I don’t like Kyle Busch but he is putting hurting on everyone this year.
  • Finished th race just in time to see the amazing finish the US had in the men’s swimming relay race…seriously what a finish! 
  • Slept like a rock…until a strange alarm is going off.
  • Turns out our weekend company had used the alarm in the guest room and didn’t turn it completely off…
