We're Off You Know- June 21, 2008 Here I go. Off on a missions trip with our church's youth. See you Friday night. Here's a little travelling music from the group, Klaatu.http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41892.html New Toy!- June 19, 2008 I got an iBook for my birthday! That's me happy.http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41844.html My Fair Lady- June 16, 2008 I saw "My Fair Lady" at a local theater tonight. It was very well done. Of course when they think of this title, most everyone recalls the film version, starring Audrey Hepburn (as Eliza Doolittle) and Rex Harrison (as Professor Henry Higgins). That is a wonderful film musical, but it's my opinion that film can rarely eclipse the stage. This stage production was filled with marvelous staging and fine acting. I could only find fault with the choreography, and then only because I...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41783.html Getting Ready- June 15, 2008 This week I'm busy getting ready for a week-long trip with six youth to Minneapolis, MN. We're going on a missions, work trip. Our youth will be serving others in the inner city. Our last, similar trip was two years ago. Some of the same youth are going, but nearly half of those going will be "first timers." This week I need to locate or buy all of the "stuff" that I'll be bringing along. Stuff like an air mattress, travel hygiene items, and other, miscellaneous things that are...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41781.html When It Rains, It Pours- June 13, 2008 The title to this post is from the commercials made famous by the Morton Salt Company. The idea was that their salt wouldn't clump up, like some, even should it be raining. Here in the States, they use as their symbol a pretty, young girl in a rain slicker and holding an umbrella. In Canada they are known as the Windsor Salt Company. I have no idea if they use either the slogan or the girl in Canada. For all I know, they have a hockey player wearing a tuque. Look! Here's that...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41749.html My Prime Source For Sermon Illustrations- June 10, 2008 I found this to be too funny and mostly true!Enjoy!http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41684.html The New Comment Service, Disqus- June 9, 2008 So, I'm trying out a new (still in beta, but what isn't these days) comment service called Disqus. So far I like it, and if I decide to keep it, I'll write about why in another post, but Shanti claims she can't comment with it. Now I wonder if there is something wrong with the system. I've tested it out with several different browsers, and it seemed to work OK, both for logged in and unverified users. Please, let me know if you can comment here on the new system. If you can not,...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41670.html Prayer Request- June 8, 2008 This is a quick, before-I'm-off-to-church request for prayer. My brother and his wife are expecting their third child (their first boy) sometime in July. This morning he rushed her off to the hospital because she was "bleeding." I really don't know anything more than that. I ask those of you who pray to do so, and thank you all in advance. I will post further news as I receive it. I don't have time to find the link here, on my blog just now, but this is the same brother who, two...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41655.html Knock, Knock, Knockin' on 44- June 5, 2008 So here I stand, on the precipice of another anniversary of birth. Tomorrow (June 6th) I "celebrate" 44 trips around the sun. Huzzah! In lieu of celebratory congratulations, please send cash. I'll accept PayPal. UPDATE: I've changed my mind. Here's what I'd like for my birthday!http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41617.html Imagine- June 5, 2008 This one, from a recent "Joy Of Tech" comic, is for all of you "regulars" around here. You know who you are...http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/permalink/41606.html |
