Other Weekend Thoughts

May 19, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Wow this weekend whipped me pretty good.
  • From having company staying at the house to the excitement of what I thought God was going to do, to the nervous energy of Sunday morning and knowing my in-laws were going to be in the crowd to actually delivering the message and see it all come together…whew, I’m beat…I took not 1 but 2 naps yesterday…went to bed at a decent hour, but still feel like I’ve been shot.
  • Not that I know what being shot feels like…but I can imagine.
  • You know what…I’d do it all over again…oh yeah I will this up-coming weekend.
  • It’s just a part of the job.  You put so much time, energy and effort into a solitary event and then the adrenaline rush of seeing it all happen creates such a high that coming down off of it is hard.
  • I LOVE MY JOB!
  • Poor Lisa…when I’m really beat, I snore…usually she can go to the guest room, but with her parents in there she ended up on the couch in her office last night.
  • My in-laws love playing the Wii.
  • My father-in-law and I have also been shooting a lot of pool.  There is this game you can play called golf that is just as frustrating as the real thing, but we keep playing it thinking that we’ll “do better the next time.”
  • We invited my intern from last year Brian…who is also the lead guitarist on the worship team…and his girlfriend Chrissy over to dinner on Saturday night because his parents are out of town.  We had a good time and afterwards of course there were some spirited games of Wii being played.
  • Chrissy and I were boxing and just absolutely going crazy with the punches.  In the first round we each knocked the other to the canvas twice.  In Round Two, we were both pummeling each other (of course everyone in the living room was rooting for her…quite loudly I might add) when all of the sudden we hit each other so hard…at the exact same time…that we both collapsed to the mat.  It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.  We both ended up getting up and finally I knocked her out later in the round.
  • No I’m not ashamed of beating a girl.
  • Yes, Brian did tell me Sunday that she was literally worn out for the next 2 hours.
  • Hmmm…maybe that contributed to my tiredness.
  • If you haven’t played the Wii yet, it is a good form of exercise.
  • Speaking of Chrissy…her and a few other females have complained to me that they’d rather be the sugar of the earth rather than the salt of the earth.   Hey don’t yell at me…if you’ve got an argument take it to Jesus…He’s the one who said it.   ; )
  • I had a great devotional time with God this morning…He really confirmed some things to me.
  • Part of which had to do with the big announcement I’ll be making this week right here on the blog…keep checking back…it’s coming.
