A LOOK BACK AT THE TOURNAMENT

Top Five Observations from what I call "Christmas"

1.  Those who picked George Mason, either graduated from the school, like Masonry literature, or (as I've heard some girls say) "I just like the name George"....makes me ill.

2.  That guy Jensen on Washington totally looked like the Russian on Rocky IV.  No one can argue this.

3.  The end of my demise began with the Pacific game.  I had Pacific winning, and all would have been glorious if this double overtime game would have been a reverse outcome.

4.  It's funny on the ESPN poll the overwhelming majority wants George Mason to win.  This tells me the overwhelming majority has a screwed up bracket like myself.

5.  Duke...you hurt my heart.

Currently Listening Beautiful Letdown By Switchfoot see related

top hurtful things this past week

1.  Rod Stewart was the background song for a cat commercial....this hurts.

2.  When "it's hard out here for a pimp song" won on the oscars last night...one of the members of the band said "thank you Jesus".....WHAT?!?!?!

3.  When I did announcements...trust me, everyone hurt for me.  It was times like this where I wish life had a reset button.

4.  Michigan beat my OSU team on ncaa football and cost me the national championship.  How much more can I hate them?  It has no bounds.

5.  My wedding ring got caught on the door frame...this hurt as well.

Xanga Top Ten in my Life

1. I climbed a telephone pole and jumped off, scaled a wall, and rolled billiard balls down carpet (in other words, I went to Scioto Hills winter retreat).

2. The best part of American Idol is still those guys that dressed up like transformers and sang "Joy to the World".  My laughter was heard.

3. My quest for a full-time ministry job continues...Honolulu still ranks high among the list.

4. For those that prayed for my sermon, thanks, the Lord blessed.  And I did my best JFK impression, if you missed it, it sounded a lot like the mayor on Simpsons.

5. The Bills fired 8 coaches and released their best lineman.  The Marlins fired their manager and traded their catcher, 1st 2nd and 3rd baseman, shortstop, centerfielder, 2 starting pitchers, and 2 relief pitchers.  I PICKED GREAT TEAMS.  Go DUKE!

6. My wife is better than Topanga.  You heard it here first folks.

7. Why don't people on Family Feud wait for people to say "Good Answer".  I hate it when they say an answer, then say "Good Answer".  Some people....

8. I won the national championship on NCAA Football 2005.  You all wanted to know this.

9. How do the dollar movies make money?  (especially for guys like me that only get a courtesy water, if anything, at the concessions)  I have waited patiently for king kong and fun with dick and jane.  Soon I will be able to see the Chronic...what?...les of Narnia. 

10. I need self-help tapes...on what you ask?  Self-help.  That was dumb...I guess that's why it was number 10.

Currently Reading FAMILY- BASED YOUTH MINISTRY By Mark Devries see related

So I'm beginning to realize what full-time ministry actually means.  When, one day, my name will be preceded by pastor, the full-time aspect of ministry takes a whole new shape.  Truly, what other job do you lose for personal sins such as pornography, affairs, and alcoholism?  If this was the case for all jobs, the great depression would be on us yet again in terms of the unemployment rate skyrocketing faster than gas prices.  When people ask what I do, and I tell them, will their demeanor change from  to ?  Everyone tells me that people in ministry live in a glass house...well you know what that means...we better start getting dressed in the basement.  Figurative language has its boundaries.  I'm beginning to understand though why full-time ministry is described as full-time.  If my ministry was only part-time, then what kind of testimony would that be for my Lord. 

What's my point?  My point is not by any means to say my job is more important than yours and that my steps to heaven go higher than yours.  NO, that is not what I'm saying by any stretch of the imagination.  My point is that we all must take the full-time ministry mindset by which we all live a lifestyle that is fully dedicated to Christ-likeness.  Enough with the part-time attitude towards Christianity.  Are you willing to live your Christianity full-time?  This is the question for myself and all those that take the time to read the window by which you view my world called xanga.
