At my Alma Mater Number 1 - Eastern Kentucky University. Btw, I drove through Centre College on my way here from my dad's house. I waved to the college as I drove through for ωαřмaiden and Jed (Was that the correct thing to do?).

This is the last time I spend overnights with my parents when I come down to visit them. My mom smokes like a chimney; the house filled with haze. My dad's house is like a sauna. Not even a fan to move the air around. Grr.

Yes, I am in the hinterlands. No Internet and very little coverage from Verizon. If you don't hear from me by Tuesday night, please send a search party.
Had to go to a McDonalds one town over to post this update. Going back into the hinterlands to spend the night at my dad's house near Lebanon, KY . . . the home of one of those inane characters on the History or Animal Planet channels . . . the Turtleman. SMH in disgust.

Woke up at 8 am. Drank a cup of coffee. Went back to sleep until 9:30 am, during which time I had a very interesting dream involving a friendfeeder. Now back awake and wondering "What the hell?!?"

Just finished reading "The Ocean at the End of the Lane." A wonderful book, albeit too short. Beginning "Norwegian Wood" by Murakami now. Also getting ready to watch the movie "This Is the End."
It is time to get back to basics, and by this I do not mean an attempted return to some imagined version of first century Christianity. Neither do I mean returning to some state of doctrinal or ecclesiastical purity. I also do not mean by the term “Christian minimalism” some form of the faith that requires us to “do” or “believe” some minimal level of things in order to earn an eternal reward in heaven and avoid eternal damnation in hell.

"When Florida lawmakers recently voted to ban all Internet cafes, they worded the bill so poorly that they effectively outlawed every computer in the state, according to a recent lawsuit."

I've never seen the police say not to use FriendFeed while driving, so it must be ok.

It also has more navigable miles of waterways than any other state east of the Mississippi, the home of the two best college basketball teams in the world, the producer of great bourbon and racehorses, and my home state. :-)

One of the only places to escape the heat in Southern Nevada is facing a raging fire. By Saturday afternoon the blaze on Mount Charleston grew to just over 14,000 acres. The number of firefighters working to get it under control is now 600, up from 400 Friday. Read on to see someone we all know and love in this story.

Last summer my Bishop came to hear me preach. Tomorrow my District Superintendent (aka second in charge and my immediate supervisor) is coming to hear me preach. I hope the sermon is up to snuff. Btw, she just called earlier tonight to give me warning she would be at my church.
Editing my sermon now. It is amazing how much one changes while going through their own writing a second, third or even fourth time.

It's midnight and the sermon is finally done. It is entitled "More than Enough." ANyone want to read and critique it??? I haven't proofread it yet, so there are probably plenty of mistakes.
I'm very sorry, but that woman reminded me of this very funny apocryphal Bono story: "Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...
"Well, fuckin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!""
