Unbelievable

So I was listening to my favorite San Diego radio station yesterday and one of the items on their "news that didn't make the news" segment was one of the most unbelievable things I have ever heard.

NOTE: This is not a Christian radio station.

There is a website called Information Age Prayer that is here to help you if you are a busy person. Information Age Prayer will, for a fee, pray your prayers for you so that you do not have to do it. They have an advanced text to speech program that will pray whatever you want. They also have the automated "Lord's Prayer" "Hail Mary" as well as the daily prayers for Muslims. If you are Muslim and cannot get up early enough or take a break during work here in the busy United States then have this website say your prayers for you. They even face the speakers toward Mecca for you. HOW THOUGHTFUL!!!

They offer prayers for Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, unaffiliated, and other religions.

You can pay by the month (only $3.95 save $2.05) or per prayer. Here is the winner though. You can get: The Lords Prayer, The Morning Prayer, 5 Get Well Prayers and Peace Prayer, only $19.95 each Month.

Anyway...we all got a good laugh about it here at work. It is also a tad scary that this exists and that people would be willing to do this. They do tell you that it should not be a substitute for your prayers...hmmm...and they offer 10% of their profit to charities.

What do you think?!??!?
Peace. ╬

P.S. Sorry it's been so long since I last posted.

Hope Video

So I have told some of you about the video we made to say hello to Hope instead of an in-person "meet and greet". Here is our video in all its glory. I hope you enjoy it as much as Bekkah and I had making the video.



UPDATE: The official date for my ordination/installation is going to be Saturday November 29th. Bekkah and I found out today and are very excited about the news. Also we are happy to announce that we officially have a place to live as well! Will give out address and such as people ask and most likely out to email once all the details are finalized.

A tad on the Nerd side

So I ran across this today and thought I would share with everyone my love for Star Wars. And what better way to love Star Wars than with Gospel music? Come on I know you will love it. Just sit back relax and clap your hands for the Eeewoks!!

And if its not funny the first time try having a beer or two and then watching it again (yay for the beer tag!)

Peace!

Embedded Video

DJ the human antenna

This is what happens when you get a bunch of bored guys drinking beer together while waiting for a baby shower to end.

Sorry the clarity isn't so great but you guys know what happened.

Peace ╬

Bug Problem

Bees
On Friday I was walking back to the office from being on a visit, and as I was on the sidewalk a bee ran into my head. I wiped at my hair and kept walking. Then I heard another *buzz* coming at me and a bee hit me in the neck and my shirt. I touched my shirt and all I felt was my collar. I then got that creepy feeling that it was still in my shirt. So I reached down the back of my shirt and there was a bee! I un-tucked my shirt and started flapping it to flush the bee out and jumping around. The bee flew out and I walked into the office.
One of the office secretaries and the custodian saw the whole thing, but didn't know there was a bee involved. Needless to say we had a good laugh few quite a while.

Spider
Today as I was getting into my car to go to church when I buckled my seatbelt, turned on the car, released the emergency break, and then reached for the gear shift. As I did I saw a spider with huge legs on my shoulder. I jumped out and the car stalled and I knocked the spider off into the cup holder and then took the cup holder out of the car and blew the spider into the bushes. The whole thing freaked me out and reminded me of Friday.

Ants
As I was writing this I was reminded of the ants that have been invading my house. They are large and scary. When you hold them up to look at them you can see their mandibles. Not something I want to be able to see with my naked eye on an ant. They have been gone for almost a week now. I think I won the war.╬

Home Communion

Yesterday I went to bring home communion to several people at a community that has nursing home, assisted living, and apartments for senior citizens. My last stop was at an assisted living house. The gentleman I gave communion to was someone I had never met before. As we were chatting another man came in and asked him if he was ready to come. He responded he would be there in a few minutes.

As we walked out of his room I asked him where he was going with his friends. He told me that he was going to happy hour, and that his was the only place in the US where you could go in an old man and come out a drunk. He invited me to come have a drink with him and he would pay for it. I told him that I was still working and that I probably shouldn't have a drink. He then said, 'you are not a preacher are you?' I told him that I pretty much was. He said oh well, and a nurse standing nearby told him that although he drank only alcohol there, that there was in fact soda and other beverages.

Well, I passed the opportunity and I headed back to the church. Let's just say that it was a rather fun and the most entertaining experience I have ever had at an assisted living home.╬
