It’s the 5TH Sunday of May in 2009, and here are my takeaways from Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning:
- Richie N. is on a mission every Sunday morning at 7:20 AM.
- All he wants to do is transform a movie theatre lobby into a church lobby.
- Anne J. was back in town [...]

- I went to work at 6 AM this morning.
- And I just got home about an hour ago (6:30 PM).
- But I didn’t just get home from work.
- I was at work for 10½ hours.
- 3 of those hours were inside a conference room giving briefings.
- I’m all talked out.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics
Posted in God, Music, tagged John Reuben, Relient K on 05/27/2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is one of my favourite songs of my 1,000+ day journey. It’s Columbus Ohio dude John Reuben hangin’ out with one of his good buddies – fellow Ohioan Matt Thiessen (of Relient K fame). This is their 2005 Christian Rock smash “Nuisance”.
John Reuben is currently touring the Great U.S. Midwest. [...]

You know you want it:
1. In just about a week Homestead has gone from brown and crunchy to green and lush. That’s what 10 inches of rain – over a foot in some areas – will do to the surrounding landscape. We are now right smack in the middle of a tropical rain forest. That’s [...]

I’m deviating from the normal ‘Mini Thoughts’ format of the ‘Tossed Salad’ to present a very special edition of the ‘Key Lime Pie’ in standard paragraph format with complete sentences !
This was the Life Pointe Church weekend that actually wasn’t supposed to happen. I had planned to be out-of-town during this long Memorial Day holiday weekend, [...]

My old (and well-preserved) checkbook registers reveal a lot about the storied history of my life.
19 years ago in May of 1990 my take-home pay from the base was less than one-fifth of what it is today. Things were much cheaper back then !
Back then I drank Coca Cola Classic and I used Plax and [...]

Let’s do this thing:
1. Homestead’s LongHorn Steakhouse is now open for business, and I’ll start with the Crispy Chicken Trio. After that I’ll have the 9-ounce Flo’s Filet (medium well) with sweet potato with cinnamon and butter. For dessert I’ll partake in the Golden Nugget Fried Cheesecake. Who’s feelin’ what I’m feelin’ ?
2. The 18TH [...]
