Did you hear about how President Bush accidentally made fun of a blind guy? Yeah, pretty hilarious if you ask me. I mean, it actually makes me like Bushie more. He's just an every day guy who was teasing a reporter who was wearing sun glasses when there was no sun. If I were the pres I think I'd make the same kind of jokes. It'd be funny...that is, unless he was blind. Oops.
My son was playing in the Q-tip drawer in the bathroom the other day. It's his new favorite place to be when exploring our restroom. While I was supervising him I decided it would be an opportune time to go pee. Do you know that my son can, in an instant, race across our bathroom and climb up on the toilet if he has a reason to do so? I started screaming "Jess! Jess! Help me quick! Come get Jones." I was trying to keep the stream inside the rim, trying to hold off Jones, trying to keep his hands from the stream, trying to get him to stop sucking the rim, trying to stop peeing (a difficult task indeed)...to make a short story short. Jess rescued us and we sanitized his whole body as best we could. I felt dirty after that moment.
I've been reading the Great Gatsby. Good book. I want to read a book that challenges me as a human being, as a Christian, as a father, or something like that. Got any suggestions?
This Sunday at Renovatus we are doing something that we try to do four times a year that we call worship stations. On those Sundays most of our worship time is spent in self guided worship. A handful of people at the church create different "stations" that will give people an opportunity to worship. Often it is meditative or thought provoking, or other times it is something that leads to action or creative expression. This Sundays theme is lament. Hmm...it's going to be interesting. Worship Station sunday is always an adventure. I love them. You should visit on Sunday.
Saturday is the day. It's is, at this point, the most important day in the world cup so far. Congrats to Rolo about Ecuador's victory. I hope they go far. But tommorow the fate of the US and of Portugal are on the line. If the US doesn't win they might as well go home. If the US doesn't at least score, come up with a tie, and nearly win, they will be an embarassment. Portugal on the other hand is pretty much guaranteed a spot in the next round. However, against Angola they played like a bunch of weiners. If they don't look better against Iran, if they don't play like a team, play with engergy, play with heart, play smart and motivated, it will not matter whether they win or not 'cause they'll be out in the next round...and that would be a massive failure. Tomorrow they must prove that they're as good as the sum of their parts (unlike England at this point). Enough said.
Thats all I've got for now. Peace out bros and sissies
