Random Thoughts on a Friday Morning

December 21, 2007 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Feeling much better today…it’s amazing what happens when you get some sleep occasionally.
  • We’ll be celebrating Christmas tonight with my niece before she flies out to TX to be with her dad…maybe it will finally start to feel like Christmas then.
  • Looked at the forecast for FL last night and it will be in the 80’s all of next week while we’re down there…uhh…that won’t feel like Christmas.
  • HA! That part I don’t care about…I love the warm weather!   Can’t wait to sit outside by the pool!
  • This morning in my devotions, I finished up reading through the Bible for the year.  This was a pretty special one…in the now 14 years that I’ve been a Christian, this marked the 25th time I’ve been through cover-to-cover during my devotional times.
  • One time I read through the entire thing in 1 month just to see if it could be done.  It was one of my favorite read throughs because it was helpful to see how passages that were chapters or sometimes even book apart connect together….but it was also very time consuming.  Basically every hour I wasn’t working, I was reading.
  • Worship practice last night was great!  We had to practice for both Sunday and Monday and the team did an incredible job!
  • Don’t forget to invite someone to come with you this week.
  • While were at it, have you done your other two homework assignments from last week’s message?  1.  Write a thank you letter to the person who led you into a relationship with Christ.  2.  Prepare to bring in a birthday gift for Jesus this week…in other words…tithe for a week.
  • Our house officially goes on the market tomorrow.
  • I can’t believe how much junk we’ve thrown away.  I borrowed my dad’s truck and ended up taking 2 truck loads full to the dump.
  • Someone please remind me if we ever decide to move again not to do so during the Christmas season…what were we thinking?
  • What’s up with Ruby Tuesday’sre-doing their restaurants?  We ate in the re-modeled Hagerstown location on Sunday night and then in the new one in Chambersburg last night and wow what a difference.  It’s like they’re trying to be an up-scale restaurant…I actually felt under dressed…oh well, the food was still good.
  • Speaking of food…since we moved into the new building, there is always food in the office kitchen sitting around…especially here at Christmas time.  And of course we all know that 2nd Hallucinations 3:7 says, “Thou shalt not pass by Christmas goodies without partaking in the goodness of which the Lord has provided.”
  • Don’t forget to come to the New Years party either.  The combination of bands, games and the people should make for a fun evening.
  • Ok, I can’t keep this in any longer…if you’re a fan of Will Ferrell you have got to show up at the 7PM Christmas Eve Experience. 
  • Gotta go…got a hot date with my wife!
