Other Weekend Thoughts

April 14, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Friday I found out the flat tire was not defective but rather I had run over something.  Paul took care of it…again I highly recommend him if you need any auto work done.
  • I also attended a funeral on Friday in a Catholic Church.  It was a great reminder to me that people feel very uncomfortable coming into a church for the first time.  They did a lot of things that while I’m sure was very meaningful to them, made me very uncomfortable because I didn’t know when to stand or sit, what to say or sing, etc.
  • The above is one reason you hear me say a lot of the same things over and over again each week…yes to you it may seem repetitive, but for the first timer coming in, I want to make sure they understand what is going on and what is expected of them. 
  • I’m also evaluating some other things to make sure we’re not assuming knowledge in areas where maybe we shouldn’t be.
  • I then got my haircut…wow I hate when my hair gets long…hey no bald jokes…I’ve still got plenty on the sides.
  • Saturday with a quick small groups meeting in the morning.  Many thanks to Dan Krull for taking the lead on these along with Jodi Zeis and running with this. 
  • If you are not yet a part of a small group, you need to be…stop by the small groups table in the main lobby to meet Dan and find a group that’s right for you.
  • Saturday afternoon Lisa and I drove west on Rt. 30 all the way to McConnellsburg , enjoying the beautiful day, the scenery and hoping to find a nice restaurant along the way….uhhh…we’re still waiting.  Anyone have a suggestion?  I was even willing to eat at the bar at the top of the mountain, but wow was it smoky…my asthma wouldn’t have handled that too well.
  • Saturday night we chilled out…big props to Dennis Koontz for making this possible.
  • You already know what happened Sunday morning.
  • Sunday night was by far the best lesson in our current series in CAYA. 
  • And then afterwards we had our Wii Bowling Tournament. 
  • Each team had to come up with a team name.  Carrie Schofield was on my team and we named ourselves, “The Predestined Winners”. 
  • Now if this is the part where you think I eat humble pie because we were way to confidient, you would be…..wrong.  We crushed the competition.
  • Yeah, that’s how I roll!   :)
