Last night Jami and I planned an out to eat night with Kevin & Christi McIntosh. It was so much! We decided to go to Pat and Oscars and let me tell you, I have never had a bad experience there. Jami and I signed up for their eclub so we go a coupon for “Buy one sandwhich combo get another Sandwhich combo free” (cheap I know) but man for 8 bucks we got a lot of food. We had great conversations and afterword we decided to watch a movie over at Kevin and Christi’s house. We watched “kung Pow” a spoof on kung foo movies, man it was good to laugh that hard. What a night it was. we will defintely be doing more of that.

Got my doo done!

So I decided it was time to get my hair cut (tired of the shaggyness) So drive over to Great Clips or whatever and wait about 5 mins (I like that). So as the girl begins to cut my hair I suppose it is routine to strike up a conversation. She was very nice and polite. For some reason I have a difficult time talking when there are scissors or clippers by my head. As soon as I feel like I should respond I think of the worst possible thing that could happen…. oooops I just shaved off the back of your head… or oops I think I got your ear….. Yikes…. man I got problems!!
Blah!
Life from inside the blinds
exposes only the space to which they are opened
so that in those spaces you may find
the sequence to the things left in their places
The Warmth provided by the rays
is only limited by the clarity of the outlook
so that in the cold we may find
that blanket of Son and everlasting sleep.
The day before Valentines!

It was on Feb. 13 2006, it was a glorious day for it was the day that I asked Jami to be with me forevermore. Of course I wanted things to be a lot different so she took me out to eat and to the movies(The Family Stone) . All the while I was planning on having a friend to meet us at the spot (Corona Del Mar Beach). It was perfect, the night sky was clear and full of stars (a wee bit nippy). And it was there, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me and she said,”Are you Serious?”. Not the exact answer I was looking for but she said she would be mine. Oh happy day!
Hillbilly’s Ten Commandments

Maybe this is the way to teach the 10 Commandments today! Maybe then people would ‘get it’.
Tennessee Ten Commandments
Some people in Tennessee have trouble with all those ‘shall’s’ and ‘shall not’s’ in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms.. So, some folks in middle Tennessee got together and translated the ‘King James’ into ‘Jackson County’ language….. no joke, read on…
The Hillbilly’s Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN)
(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin’ before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin’
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin’
(7) No foolin’ around with another fellow’s gal
(8) Don’t take what ain’t yers
(9) No tellin’ tales or gossipin’
(10) Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s stuff
Now that’s kinda plain an’ simple, don’t ya think? Y’all have a nice day.

Have you ever…?
Something that happened yesterday inspired me to blog this….
have you ever….?
1. Have you ever been somewhere and it is really loud, so you are raising your voice to talk and all of the sudden the it gets quiet but you keep talking at the same volume?
2. Have you ever said “your mom” as a comeback to a person who’s mom just died?
3. Have you ever thought it was safe to pass gas knowing full well there was no one around and then someone comes into your office or room? (and it always seem to smell so much more than usual)
4. Have you ever made a really rude comment while the windows are rolled down not paying attention that anyone could probably hear you?
5. Have you ever been to a wedding and got caught up in dancing silly and then felt really embarrassed after thinking about it?
6. (inspired by yesterday) Have you ever been a place to eat and commented on a certain meal or food that you thought was really gross only to notice that the person at the next table was eating that food/meal? And they obviously heard you…
7. Have you ever put on a dark blue navy sock and a black sock thinking that they were matching only to find that they are not so you do everything possible so no one will notice?
well I know who…. Me
enjoy!!
Silence of a cynic.
I often find myself looking for things to critique. To expose some legitimate observation of what I feel would work or what I feel I see is lacking in substance. My wife said to me last night, “you have a lot to say about everything”, to which I thought, “gee thanks!”. Then I realized I became that guy. You know, that guy that as an opinion about anything and everything. Not to say he doesn’t know what he is talking about, it is just different.
I don’t know when I became this person. Somewhere between when I left the Church I was working for and when I graduated school. Something within that frame of time I became the CYNIC. I do not claim to know everything, but I feel I have a lot to say whether it be of merit or not. I just like to be in discussion about various norms/practices.
God is doing a tremendous work within me. and that is all I have to say about that!
