One of the many things I find myself doing on a Sunday morning is watching for visitors. In a small church it’s really easy to notice when someone is new. I’ve noticed that the hardest part sometimes is getting from the front to the back quick enough to say hello right after the sermon.

A few weeks back IPASTOR tagged me and as promised I now give you 8 random facts about me…

Here are the rules: Players start with 8 random facts about themselves. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

My 8 random facts…

1. I’ve (because of the grace of God) been happily married to Debbie my wifey for almost 17 years…with three awesome kids!

2. It only took me 21 years to finish High school, college, and seminary.

3. When I was a boy-scout I was an extra in a movie with Gary Coleman way back when. It was a movie about Gary Coleman as a cub scout. Can’t remember the title sorry…don’t think it even made it to the tv screen.

4. Again as a boy scout I was picked to be in a March of Dimes photo shoot with Charles Bronson…boy how I wish I had the proof…mother apparently took the photos with her when she said, “adios,” to father.

5. I prefer Peets Coffee over Starbucks any day, that I agree with Brian!!!

6. I used to climb up to the Hollywood Sign just for fun as a kid growing up in Hollywood.

7. Again as a scout…I rode on a parade float one cold November in the Hollywood Christmas Lane Parade (which I guess is no more, but is trying to make a come back from what I hear)

8. One more Hollywood fact…as kids we would cruise around on our skate boards in the neighborhood near Hollywood Blvd and on the blvd. back in the day and pool hop at the cheesy little motels to keep cool during the summer months.

I now tagggggg…

Have fun…if you’ve been tagged already…let me know. There you go Brian!

Kids and gaming. One word…Ughhhh

My gaming as a kid was asteroids and pac-man at a local 7-11 in Hollywood in 1981. If you wanted to play a game, it cost you a quarter.

I will be charging now as the kiddlings enter the age of the need to play 24 hours a day…

Twenty Five Cents…in 1981????

$5.00 in 2007?????? Oh yeah!!!! I”ll be rich by the time they get out of high school…I guess they will need allowance now…maybe not rich, but coffee money is nice.

We have a time in our service at church where we hear prayers of concern or praise. Let me take you back to our church this morning for this little bit of coolness…

Me: “Are there other prayers of praise or concern?”

Child 1 raising hand: “I’m going to Tahoe.” (Going with family member)

Child 2 raising hand: (Huge smile on his face as a he raises his hand) “My dad is taking me to see transformers.”

It was the cutest thing I’ve ever experienced in church and a reminder of the need for us big people to come to the Lord in prayer with a kids heart.

Day off is a chance to catch up on some blogs. Reading ysmarko and couldn’t help but think back to Jr. High , 8th grade, Hollywood, sitting in the quad playing smoke on the water with my classical guitar class buddies…this is pretty amazing.

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in
the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered
with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it.
The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some
time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said
quietly,
“Good morning Alex.”
“Good morning Pastor,” he replied, still focused on the
plaque.
“Pastor, what is this?” he asked.
The pastor said, “Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young
men and women who died in the service.”
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large
plaque.
Finally, little Alex’s voice, barely audible and trembling
with fear, asked,
“Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?”

You know you’re a regular (and addicted) at Starbucks when…

1. The baristas race to see who can get your drink done before you actually arrive to the cashier.

2. When the baristas say to you, “where are the kids?”

3. When they say to you, “the usual?”

4. When the barista says, “hey you what’s up, like you’ve been friends with them for years.”

5. When you confuse the barista by ordering a drink other than your usual.

6. When the barista tells you, “sorry, were out of that tonight, but when you come in again, your drinks on me.” (And keeps her promise on your next visit)

7. When you notice that the regulars are not sitting in their same seats.

8. When if you don’t have enough money for your coffee they spot you the extra change.

9. When the first thing that comes out of the baristas mouth is the drink you usually order and not, “good morning, welcome to Starbucks.”  

 10. When your regular barista says to you, “this is my last day here today, it was nice knowing you.”
