The A-Rod Virus and Other Ramblings
It was grand and glorious and worth staying up (note the time stamp) to watch: The Red Sox throttled the Yankees in the MLB playoffs. Now, keep in mind that I don't particularly care about the Red Sox, but I loathe the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez comes to the Rangers and we have 4-last place finishes. He leaves, we were in the pennant race until the last week with the same players. When he was with Seattle, they made the playoffs once (more on the shoulders of Ken Griffey, Jr.). He left and they did better without him. He goes to the Yankees...I think A-Rod is a virus.
A lady called me at the office yesterday and wanted me to help her explain to her children "why Christians don't celebrate Halloween." Since I put a "tax" on my children's Halloween candy from their trick-or-treating (I confiscate any Snickers, Kit-Kats, Blow Pops and an occasional roll of Smarties), I'm not sure I'm the pastor you want to help answer that question. Confession time: I also put up a Christmas tree, read Harry Potter, played Dungeon and Dragons when I was in middle school, watch Disney movies, held a season's pass to Six Flags even though they host a "gay pride" day, and among my favorite CD's are AC/DC, Ozzy and The Crystal Method.
I'm guest-teaching a session of a class on parenting tomorrow night...I think it's a class of all moms from what I've gathered from the class' teacher. I was reminded of the line I heard from some comedian when a doctor asked him if he wanted to cut his newborn's umbilical cord: "Ummm...aren't there a number of people in this room more qualified?"
I'm co-teaching a session of our church's flagship training class on Sunday...it's heavy on theology and application of said theology. The topic is "atonement." Note to self: Pull out the old notes from seminary tomorrow.
My junior/senior guys Bible study is one of the high points of my week.
On Conan tonight it's one of the guys from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is on there. Just so you know, I don't regret not being on that show when I had the chance over the summer. I'm still comfy with my ponytail, Doc Martens and poor fashion sense. I do, however, maintain that I would've been one of the best people they've ever had on that show.
I'm not the least bit interested in the South Park creator's new movie Team America, but yet I'm kinda intrigued by Pixar's new release called The Incredibles (about out-of-shape retired superheroes having to go back to work)...even though my kids are close to being past that age. Should this concern me in any number of ways?
I really wish I had gone to see the Pixies when they were here in Dallas last night.
Well, the mini-rush from the Red Sox win is over...time killed...sleep awaits.
