Once a week is realistic
Two things roaming the abandoned hallows:
A.) I went to Mexico this weekend to scout a family mission trip. After dozens of trips to border towns, not counting trips in my B.C. days, I have asked the Lord to strip me of pity. It's not pity that glorifies Christ; it's service. Serving those who are part of the same body, covered with the same grace and redeemed by the same Savior. Pity moves you to guilt for what you have and what they don't. Service directs you to humility. Pity drives you to an emotional reaction, while serving allows you to be the practical tool of an empathetic Creator.
B.) My folks were in town last week for my dad's yearly check-up to make sure his cancer is still in remission - which it is - praise God. I took them to the hospital and was sitting in the waiting room with my mom and she asked me why there is such hype over Amy Winehouse. My take is, even though she is a walking train wreck ,
she writes and performs her own music. I think people are nearing burnout on studio created music. Let me throw on my music snob hat, and instruct you to take a break from the heavy rotation of Fergie, T-pain, Sean Kingston and Beyonce and spend a few bucks and download a couple songs from people who write their own music:

Neglected Blog...
Feb 4th, 2008
I should be ashamed of myself for letting 9months go by without a blog; i should... yet I'm not.
I should be ashamed of myself for letting 9months go by without a blog; i should... yet I'm not.
Here, in honor of blogs past, the top nine observations weighing & consuming my A.D.D. madula oblingata:
9.) Brittish Humor is profoundly more creative than ours: i.e. - The British and orginal "The Office", Monty Python and the original three Guy Ritchie Movies
8.) Youtube coule be the worst and best invention of all time
7.) Will Ferrell could take a poo on a paper plate, film said poo and garuntee 20 mil opening weekend.
6.) If you have enough money and following of people with the intuition of sheep you can start your own church regardless of theology or call. I know everyone is expecting me to name church's in typical wade form - sorry.
4.) Marriage indeed gets better everyday - I don't think my wife
even reads this blog, so that can't be consiered sucking up - just truth

2.) Grace has an infinite multitude of humbling layers
1.) If people could divorce religion and church from Christ - a radical reformation would take place.

Proud to be a Houstonian
Even though I have lived here for 22 years, I have never been a huge fan of Houston...until now. Way to go H-town, Dallas can't hold us!

Blonde Ambition Trailer
Proof that Luke Wilson has sold his soul to the devil. Respect level for the Wilsons at a whole new low.

Old man river...
I'm an old man.
I have been told this since I was about ten years old. I'm not too sure exactly what it was about me when I was ten that brought about such accusations, but I'm very aware of what qualifies me as a senior citizen now. Primarily my opinions, interests and general disdain for pop culture. This came up again yesterday in a conversation I was having with a guy from my church. He told me I have "older interests" - translation: Old Fart.

Primarily my opinions, interests and general disdain for pop culture. This came up again yesterday in a conversation I was having with a guy from my church. He told me I have "older interests" - translation: Old Fart.So, in honor of all old young people, the top ten reasons I'm an old man.
10. I listen to NPR religiously
9. I am annoyed by every show on MTV
8. I loathe every show on VH1
7. Given the choice, I will pick an independent movie over a summer blockbuster 9 out of 10
times
6. I think the majority of rap is ignorant and inane - jay-Z, kanye, nas and the roots excluded
5. The West Wing is the best 1 hour drama ever on aired on TV
4. 98% of top 40 DJ's need to be banished to a desolate area and stored in cargo containers like
the obsolete robots in I-Robot
3. If you're 16 and you don't have a job, you're lazy
2. Hot Topic is ridiculous
1. The church is going soft
I'm Going to E-rock tonight for a couple nights of camping. Stay tuned Monday for interesting stories and injury reports
