Mondays are for Whirly Ball Ramblings

So many different things going on in my mind today, I am in full on project management crunch time doing a thousand things at once mode. Seems too much to stop and write anything lengthy about a subject so today is a shotgun approach. Here we go.

We celebrated my brother in-laws birthday Saturday with two hours of Whirly Ball. If you have never played, whirly ball is a mix of jai-lai, bumper cars, and hockey. It is amazing. It is a bone jarring collision course of ridiculous fun. If you come out to Chicago to hang out, we will definitely go.

Here is Death Cab for Cutie playing Whirly Ball

Church was absolutely rocking yesterday. The band was on fire, people had great energy, and lives were impacted. On days like that you simply appreciate what God is doing. I was reminded last night, however, that we shouldn’t be disappointed when every Sunday isn’t like that. God is present in the routine, in the every day, in the every moment. We have powerful worship experiences to energize us and encourage us for the routine of our lives. So thanls for the pick me up yesterday Lord, we really needed it.

The more I think about it, the more perplexed I get that the Wizards sold their second round draft pick instead of taking DeJuan Blair. Who are we going to sign for under a million dollars who can rebound like this guy?

Another on bites the dust. Good bye Billy Mays! I listened to your advice and bought the Oxiclean, but it never worked quite like I expected. It’s all good, I never held that against you. What is the best Billy Mays hyped product? Anyone have a personal favorite that they have ever used?

On this week’s episode of CSI: Vatican the  Vatican did scientific analysis on what are believed to be the bones of St. Paul! That is crazy in a wow they actually went through the trouble to show these were some seriously old bones way. They say that the evidence is now clear that these are St. Paul’s remains, and I have no evidence to the contrary, but in all honesty, I don’t really care if we know where Paul’s bones are our not. The whole thing is cool, but mostly lost on me. If Grissom told me they were St. Paul’s bones though, I would believe him.

We are making some progress with our new building. This week we are building a stage, priming all the walls, doing some more cleaning, and picking out some paint colors. We definitely need some help figuring out the acoustics side of things, however. Anyone out there have soundproofing advice that doesn’t involve a wall of carpet or egg cartons?

Alright, I am off to change the world, have a good Monday.
