7 - Heroes

So, I haven't been an NBC fan since the NBA left for ABC, but for some unknown reason I happened to see a teaser for the new drama called Heroes. It seems to be an X-Men, wanna be, with people discoving that they are the next step in the evolutionary process of man. Well, even though I don't like the premise (like the X-Men) I can't wait for the show to start.

I've been wanting a drama that I could get into for such a long time...I never cought the Lost bug, not a CSI fan, or Law and Order. Nothing really catches me. I just want something more than reality TV, hopefully this is it.

The other night we had a bunch of Senior Highers over and asked them if they had a super power what would it be, most of them said something about flying.

I'm not so sure, my favoriate X-Men is Gambit (who never made the movies), his power was to be able to give things energy when he touched something it would explode, but he could control it - unlike Rogue.

What would your super power be?

6 - My Tigers

So, I've finally decided to post about my Detroit Tigers. When we were in Europe the Tigers surged into first place. You know they haven't lost that position yet, and most of that time have held onto the best record in baseball. If your not a baseball fan let me tell you why this is so amazing...

Three years ago they had the worst record in American League history (well, they tied). They lost 119 games!

They were the laughing stock of baseball. But they've turned it around and are playing like they've always should have been here.

I love my Tigers. I really hope this isn't just a one year deal, but that its something that lasts for a long time.

4 - Three Movie Night

So Shari and I were feeling like we needed a break and some time together, so Saturday night we spent the day at the movie theatre. There is a cheap theatre that shows movies that have already made it out of other theatres. So we saw Click, then we saw Devil Wears Prada, and then The Break Up.

All of which were only $2 per ticket. It was a really nice way to see some movies that we've wanted to see and not have to pay for them.

3 - Secret Generations

Last night Shari and I were in Target - in a hurry - and she asks me to go and find her some deorderant. Of course I found the Secret Generations line on clearence so I went right for that. I started smelling each and everyone one of them and noticed something very interesting each smelt like women in my life whose teenage years were of that decade.

50's - Grandma Wolfgang
60's - Aunt Rhonda Smith
70's - Mom
80's - Vanessa
90's - Shari
Now - Girls in the youth group

I never knew that I had such a great sense of smell.

2 - JRT

So, Shari and I have wanted a pet for a very long time. We both love dogs. We've wanted a dog for a very long time but the problem is we don't agree on what kind of dog to get. There is a pet store at the mall near by and we went yesterday and looked at dogs.

Ever since we visited Shari's aunt Dee and played with her Jack Russell Terrier, Brooster, I fell in love with the breed. I think that I would love them. They are very energetic and crazy, but I think with as many people who are in and out of our house that wont be a problem. I also thought that Eddie (Frazier) was awesome!

What do you think?

1 - So I Feel....

Vanessa ccnvenently asked if there was peace in Goshen, IN. I don't know. I don't think so. Is the world of Goshen, IN the way its supposed to be? No. Most of you have no idea what I'm talking about, so...

It was Saturday and one of the families of the church invited us to go boating with them on a lake in Michigan, so we went. We were out all afternoon, and had a great time. We got off of the lake at 7:30pm and I noticed that I had missed 9 phone calls. I know that I'm not that popular, when I finally got in range for my voice mail it was 7:45. I wont elaborate on all of the phone calls, but I will say that the majority of them were saying that something tragic happened and that there was an emergency Elder Board meeting at 8:00 pm. So I went right to the church, and I was met my our Assimilation Pastor who told me that our Senior Pastor had resigned, effective immediately. My first thought was that I didn't have all of my boxes unpacked yet.

So about a week ago now, my senior pastor resigned...That's right...I've been here for 7 weeks and he resigns. I was angry. I was hurt. I put on a good face, and struggled on the inside.

This past weekend Shari and a bunch of ladies went to the Women of Faith Conference, our former Senior Pastor's Wife went too. Friday morning before she left Shari came to the office with me to help me with somethings. And our former Senior Pastor came into the office. I didn't get a chance to talk to him, but Shari did. And even though I adamantly told her no, she talked to him about coming over while she and his wife were gone that he and I could spend some time together. She told him that I was going to call later and that he should expect it.

I was mad. But what was I going to do...I called. As soon as I called I wasn't angry anymore.

Some have said that I was justifiably angry. Some consoled me by saying that they would be angry in that situation. Some...

I was wrong in my anger. Something that God has been teaching me for sometime now.

I apologized to him about the anger I had. It felt really good to let him know that. We ended up having a really great conversation and watching a good movie together.

My wonderful wife forced me to do what I didn't want to do, she knew what would happen if I did, and she made me do it. She forced me. Thank you so much baby. I love you.

Is there peace...No...But we're closer...

14 days...

So, I haven't posted in a month. I'm not sure why I haven't posted in a month maybe because there is so much going on, but that's not true. Yes, my world has been turned upside down but I have still had time in which I could write. So here it is 14 days. I covenant with my readers, few and far between, who have all probably left, that I will post 14 times in the next 14 days.
