TAN #156 - No TANtrums in here! (Page 12)

Well, I would be listening to the sermon a second time. Plus the middle two of our Sunday services are essentially the same with respect to the music.  The first service is much more traditional and the last service is contemporary.  I didn't think I needed to sit through two essentially identical services...you have me thinking now.

When I was growing up in Wisconsin we attended a small country church which shared a Pastor with another small congregation.  We rotated early and late services with them.  If we had the late service which was at 10:30 and the Packers were playing at 12:00.  Well you guessed it, we walked right out after the communion so as not to miss kickoff.  Nice.  Way to set an example for your kids and show them where your priorities are.

Unless you extremely liberally define "hooker" and "blow," I'm calling binky.

I have a woobie, myself.

Happy Sunday, shkinny Shar! Feel better?

Just got back from taking the family out for breakfast. I'm with you, I really miss college football. I hate waiting for the bowl games.  The Army-Navy game was pretty cool yesterday. I'm filling my time with lots of hockey.  Gonna watch some NFL later on after my workout.

You snuck back out of church already?!

Yes, we did leave half way through the second service.  I felt like ; but many of parents left.  Even our Pastor commented that I had already attended the first one.  It was a very good sermon and message today.  Hot tomato soup for lunch and then I'll go out for a nice long run.  Warm and sunny (about 35 degrees) today!!!!!! I read you blog, congrats on a restful day.  I am happy to read that.  

So (hahaha, just testing) ... what was this very good sermon and message about?

I read and study the Bible every day, but lately it's been more "Our Daily Bread" and another reflection type style ... I miss a more focused and contextual approach. I have a good (both) Corinthians study around here somewhere; I should dig it up and do a little every day.

Mmmm, soup.

I hope you have a wonderful long run!

Yeeeaaaah ... PK, you're like, topped up for life. Probably even for the afterlife.

I have this *thing* for PKs. Only to be outdone by, perhaps, MKs. Wait, you were both, weren't you?

Thank you so much, love. It has deeply humbled and touched me how many people have prayed for me, and each one who says so, it means so much to me personally. {{MELON PRESS}}

Yeah. I'm feeling a little better on most days. The trend is up. Oh, and I'm not puking everything anymore, nor feeling nauseated all the time, and ate half of something that could be considered a real meal today ... seriously ... these are huge things when you've not been able to do them for a while.

I will pray that you soon realize and come into your bright and glorious future career. I have no doubt of it. Oh, maybe not so bright and glorious on the outside, or from the outset, but most true gifts come in odd packages.

I am really good, thanks for asking.  Just getting ready to go outside for a run, Xmas music is playing, fire burning, girls are making ginger bread houses, my sins have been forgiven............all good for now. Has been a relaxing weekend.  I have put off shopping until next weekend.  Trying to put my list together for my father-in-law.  He likes to get me tri stuff.  Thinking about the new Garmin 910XT or cheaper 310XT.  Decisions, decisions.  

An order was placed that I had to fill...

Reverse chocolate chips cookies (chocolate cookies w/ white chocolate chips).  These have always been some of my faves, but never tried them.  If they taste as good as they look (and the batter tasted)...

NOM NOM NOM!

Wow, those sound really good.  Glass of cold milk and you are in business!

That is an interesting question.  I would definitely choose the time with needs being met.  Money can't buy time.
