As I begin writing this blog entry tonight there are just about 115 minutes remaining in 2008. I’ll probably be in bed asleep as 2009 officially arrives, but I’ll catch it fairly new – about 6 or 7 hours – once I awake in the morning.
2008 was the greatest year of my entire Life, and [...]

It’s the final weekly edition of 2008, and it goes a little something like this:
1. It’s the 365TH day of the year. 75% of the time that day is New Year’s Eve, but this was a magic year – one of those rare leap years that only occurs whenever we have a Presidential Election – [...]

This is what happens when ‘Monday Night Countdown’ is mashed with ‘Saturday Night Retro’.
For those of you who don’t already know this my professional occupation of the past 24 years is essentially a hybrid of Computer Systems & Database Manager / Budget Analyst. I pretty much manage computers and resources for the Department Of Defense. It involves a [...]
Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

Pastor Travis led us. Here are my bulletted takeaways in 15 words or less:
- The church is a spiritual organism.
- It’s a living breathing body with Jesus as the head.
- It’s composed of born-again people.
- Whereever you are – be there.
- That means that if you’re at church then be the church.
- Just because you show [...]

December 25TH 1996 – It was the first Christmas with my Mom, Dad, Brother, and Cats up in Jacksonville Florida. They had just moved there after about 28 years up in the Washington D.C. area. That was 2 homes ago (for my parents) and 3 cars ago (for me). I was still in my 20s [...]

Christmas Morning Stocking Full O’ Thoughts
Posted in Animals, Driving, Food, Travel on 12/25/2008 | 3 Comments »
Here’s what I’m thinkin’ ’bout on this Glorious Christmas Day Morning:
1. I left work at exactly 9 AM yesterday (Christmas Eve) morning, and I arrived at my parents’ home at exactly 3:30 PM. It was a rather uneventful 6½-hour drive from Homestead to here. That included about a 30-minute stop-over in Fort Pierce along world-renown [...]

This morning a cool dude at the Homestead campus of Life Pointe Church asked me if I was going to be at the Plantation Key campus tonight. I said ‘No’, and I followed-up my response with the fact that I would be at home watching my precious Washington Redskins on local TV this afternoon.

On this Sunday morning we enjoyed the preaching of a special guest speaker:
2 Corinthians 5 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
We Are God’s Ambassadors
11 Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too.
12 Are we commending ourselves to you again [...]
