a light week at the old blog

Yep, I know…I didn’t post a whole lot this week.  My bad.  I had a few late nights, and didn’t get around to the blog.  It’s not that I didn’t want to blog.  I had plenty of random thoughts this week.  They simply never made it to the blog.

So here’s a quick-hitter of bloggage:

-somebody gave me a gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods for Pastor Appreciation–nice!  Much appreciated, and just my size!

-Penn State got out a little shaky, but ended up puting a whoopin’ on Michigan.

-I went hunting this afternoon with my bass-playing friend Rick.  He shot a buck, and I sat in the woods…which is still better than most things!

-We did a test-run of our set up, sound, kids ministry, lobby areas today.  We launch our Calvary MidTown service next week.  We’re still looking for some folks to fill out the set-up and tear-down teams.  But mad props to the folks who showed up early this morning to get the whole shebang rolling.  So many people have been working their booties off to get us ready.  Dean, Kate, Eli, Rick, Sherilyn, Vic, Ed…and so many more…

-traffic is crazy bad in Happy Valley when PSU is at home.  We become the 3rd largest city in PA on home game weekends, and this weekend was homecoming.  stupid crazy bad.

-i’m watching South Carolina play LSU whilst the rest of the fam is sleeping in the living room (why don’t they go to bed?)  SC looks terrible.  dropped passes by wide open receivers, missed interceptions…and still they’re tied with LSU.  Texas, on the other hand, looks like a true #1.

-Kim, Levi, and Lilly worked the bunny barn at Way’s Fruit Farm today.  It was the 2nd week of their Apple Festival, raising money for the Rose of Sharon Orphanage.  Lil wanted to bring a bunny home–I’m so glad she didn’t!  (Did I mention that Sarah Palin stopped by Way’s last Saturday?  Video…watch my buddy Adam grab his daughter before the secret service swing into action!)
