i don’t really argue much but i read the following articles today and quickly recommended them to a friend. i think they are both very good and therefore i’m posting them for you.
24 unaired pilot
if you’re a “24” fan or like a good 90’s based farce then you’ll love this.

otherwise my mom will think i'm depressed
first, i have to post something (anything) because when i don’t post something every day my mom begins to worry that i am depressed. i’m not sure why she doesn’t think that i might be busy (other than the fact that she doesn’t actually think i do anything – insert smile here because it’s an inside joke with my mom and dad). all i know for sure is that just like she worries about the weather, and calls to give us reports before a storm comes to our area, so she also worries about me falling into depression when i don’t post something on this blog. so there i’ve posted something. of course, none of this really matters since my mother is on a cruise at the moment and won’t see this for another day or two. still it’s the thought that counts.
second, snow blowers are one of the greatest inventions of mankind. 20 minutes ago i used one of my neighbor’s to do our driveway and it was amazing. once snow season is over, and used snow blowers are once again available, i am definitely going to have to get me one of those things. it easily beats using a snow shovel.
the passage for next week is the parable of the great banquet found in luke 14.
signage
i have to say that i can’t stand the word “signage.” i know it’s the term that a lot of buildings use for describing all the signs that you put up so people know where to go and such, but it really sounds stupid to me.
with that out in the open i was wondering if anyone knew the company that is usually at the national youth workers convention producing portable signs and displays? the last nywc i went to was the 2004 “wide open” conference so i am merely assume they are still around. i need to start pricing some displays for the church and i don’t know who can make the necessary stuff.
winter wonderland
my family and i live in a postcard. we’re getting another 5-6″ of snow today & tonight. it’s absolutely gorgeous. when we moved up to central wisconsin from southern louisiana we had a large number of people around here question why we would want to move from a warm area to a land that has such harsh winters. i could see where the snow might get a little old in april but right now it’s amazing. when i walk or run i find myself staring in a amazement at how pretty the area is that GOD has moved us to. a little cold is well worth putting up with in order to live in such a beautiful area.
packer depression
so the miracle season ended last night. it was a lot of fun around here while it lasted. the funny thing has been listening to the radio shows around central wisconsin as they talk about the feelings of depression that people are experiencing because of the packers’ loss last night. i heard one guy on the radio say that during his two hour drive home from the game last night he decided that it would be best to lie to his kids and talk about how great the game and season was instead of admitting his depression to his kids and pulling them down.
huh?
i watched the game last night when my kids and wife. while, i do wish the pack could have pulled it out, the evening was still great fun. we shouted at the television, we cheered when the right things happened, and jeered when the right things didn’t happen. it was a great evening.
besides that, the chicago bears sucked so it really was a pretty good football season. 🙂
dang cold
it’s dang cold here in central wisconsin. when i walked the dogs this morning the real temprature was -17º. the wind chill pushed it down to -30º. oh yes it was wonderful.
as always thanks
just wanted to say “thanks” again to the wonderful youth, youth workers, and those who loved the parkview youth ministry who gave me the jambalaya pot and supplies as a going away present. it keeps on coming in handy. yesterday i got to make some jambalaya for a ministers’ prayer meeting that was going to happen and a couple of college students. unfortunately the ministers’ prayer meeting was canceled to the worst snow storm since we moved to wisconsin. still the left overs are feeding another group of ministers tuesday.
ah, it’s good stuff.
ummmmm … okay … that's different
chris, a former youth within the parkview youth ministry, sent me a video link on tom cruise being very odd and talking about how he and scientology are the only ones who can do any good witihin the world. after watching the video my life has been changed and i so want to be just like tom in everything i do – please read extreme sarcasm here. unfortunately i can’t post the video because the church of scientology has claimed copyright infringement and asked youtube to remove the video.
you can however still view the video here thanks to gawker. watch the video and all your questions will be answered. except of course what ksw, orgs, and sp means (which is ksw=keep scientology working, orgs=organizations, sp=suppressive person)
SIDE NOTE – the curling record has jumped up to 9-1. woohoo!
how to win a fight
i am not recommending anyone fight but i read this article and i thought it was interesting enough for others to read.
again i do not want anyone to get into a fight.
