Been awhile since I a random thoughts post.  Here we go…

  • Excited about the 60+ resumes that have come in to take over for me at United.
  • Couple of potentially good candidates in that stack.  Pray for the search team to find the right person.
  • Balancing my full-time responsibilities I still have at CFCOG along with starting a new church is interesting.
  • I have a follow-up meeting this Friday with a man that owns one of the buildings we’re looking at.   Please pray about that.
  • We have two really good but vastly different options when it comes to where we’re going to meet.
  • Speaking of buildings, if you know anyone who’s looking to buy a house, steer them our way.  Here’s the listing for our house.
  • Excited about the new series we’re starting this weekend called, Littlefaither:  The Worry Wart Series.
  • Don’t forget we ARE NOT changing our clocks this weekend until after the Sunday morning Experiences.
  • Love that we do this…why lose an hour’s sleep when you don’t have to!
  • It’s amazing the speed I can rip through a whole box of Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies.
  • What’s even more amazing is how quickly I can go through two boxes!  :)
  • Really enjoying the warmer weather!
  • I know NASCAR said they we’re going to let the boys be boys this year but the whole Carl Edwards thing was a bit ridiculous.
  • When someone dies in the future they are going to have a lawsuit on their hands for being accomplices in a homicide.
  • The lawyer will argue that because they didn’t do anything about it now, others felt it was ok and the result was death.
  • Speaking of sports, my Caps are kicking some serious butt.  Hope they don’t use up all there good game play in the regular season then falter in the play-offs.
  • Ok, one last sports thing…sorry ladies once my mind goes there it’s hard to stop…This week and the next two are arguably the best all year round.  Can’t wait for March Madness to start…especially since my Terps are playing so well!
  • Now back to our regularly scheduled blog, already in progress…
  • The Toyota with the stuck gas pedal thing had to have been quite frightening…did you see the guys face after he got out and was being interviewed.
  • I think he was in a need of a change of underwear!
  • Can’t believe there are only 9 more episodes of LOST.
  • Please writers don’t let us down…we’ve stuck with you this long…give us a good conclusion or I’ll send the smoke monster to your house.
  • Glad Idol isn’t 5 hours a week anymore.  Even with the ability to speed things up on the DVR, that is still crazy.
  • I really liked Andrew, but he’s been a disappointment recently.  Now I’m thinking a girl might win it…Crystal?
  • Guess that’s enough for now…have a great day!

Random Thoughts on a Thursday

by Leave a Comment

  • Not the first time I’ve said this…but I’m an idiot.
  • Was ready to post to the blog and hit the refresh button on the page for some unknown reason, thus causing me to lose everything.
  • So here we go again…3/26/09 blog post version 2.0 this time less sucky.
  • Been a pretty good week!
  • Really excited about Easter coming up.
  • I’m done the message and I’m believing God for 50+ first time professions of faith!
  • Another prayer that I pray on occasion is for God to show favor to Lisa and I in unexpected ways.
  • On Monday we got a check in the mail as a part of settlement for a class action lawsuit.
  • I vaguely remember getting info about this a few years back, filled out my paperwork and then forgot about it.
  • Now I’ve got a check to cash!
  • Funniest thing of the week so far was on Tuesday when Aaron went to clean off the whiteboard in my office with the special fluid.
  • It’s in a spray bottle and when he hit the button he didn’t realize he was holding it backwards and it sprayed him in the eye.
  • Now your saying…”Gilbert I thought you said this was the funniest thing?  Spraying harsh chemicals in your eyes is dangerous”.
  • Mmmmm….you’re right.  (Insert fake sympathy bullet point here)
  • Seriously after taking about .5 seconds to make sure he was ok…he was crying like a little girl…I laughed my head off!
  • The bottle said if sprayed into eyes to flush with water for 15 minutes…uhh yeah right…a good minute later we were back to work…albeit he was still whining.
  • I’m working on some other stuff right now for the church that has the potential to be huge…very excited about it.
  • What I’m not excited about is that the NHL regular season is dragging on and on…come on already…let’s get the playoffs started.
  • Speaking of my sports teams…Gilbert Arenas is planning on coming back for the last 9 games for the Wizards.
  • WHHHHHYYYYYY??????  At this point the best thing that could happen is to lose the rest of the games and get the #1 draft pick.  Why risk that and your health at the same time?
  • Ok realize that was a few sports references back-to-back.  For you ladies who don’t like sports or for any weird guys (you know who you are) that don’t like sports….
  • …who do you like on American Idol?
  • Personally I like Danny and Adam.
  • BTW…Danny and Michael are worship leaders in their churches, while Chris and Lil participate on the worship teams at their churches.
  • For those of you who don’t like sports or American Idol, I’ve got 4 letters for you…
  • LOST
  • Love that show!
  • Alright…gotta get back to work…see you Sunday…let’s pack the place out…I’m talking about temptation…should be powerful!
