- Put a slip and slide out for the kids yesterday afternoon – didn’t know about the whole liquid soap secret. They had a great time on a 20 x 3 ft. piece of plastic. My grass sure took a hit though.
- Re-reading Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz book as a part of the group of guys who meet on Tuesday morning. It really is good stuff. If you haven’t visited it in awhile, it might be worth a second look. Great passage in chapter 2 has been haunting me a bit throughout today, “I wondered what it would be like not to live in a house of mirrors, everywhere I go being reminded of myself.”
- Did a little 30 minute Radio spot with Blair for 94.1 regarding the work of The Crossing here in the Las Vegas community. Pretty cool, but man 30 minutes is a long time to feel. It was great to get some free airtime for The Crossing.
- Got to speak to our students this past Sunday… always a thrill, but man I feel a bit ancient when I walk in there. Had a few flashbacks of some great years, but confident I don’t have the energy to ever attack that again.
- Why is it that Father’s Day feels so different than Mother’s Day? I have to believe that the female gender has put much more emphasis on their whole holiday deal than we men have.
- Plan on wearing flip flops as often as possible this summer.
- Twitter is taking off like crazy. It will be interesting to watch how the usage evolves moving forward. Life is now being lived in 140 characters or less.
- Been watching The Next Food Network Star with the wife. Good summer reality while everything else is off the air, but hard to take seriously since none of the previous “Network Stars” are doing anything. Reminds me of when ESPN was holding competition for SportsCenter anchors. I think the winner is now doing the 3 minute local sports spot somewhere outside Des Moines.
- The whole Jon and Kate thing is a fiasco. Never watched the show… something about the whole concept made me extremely uncomfortable but my family loved it. Another example of an abnormal life leading to predictable results. The most ridiculous part is they insist on continuing the show. time to move on…your 15 minutes were up awhile back.

Ouch – I literally live in a house of mirrors…I have about 23,584 mirros in my house.
Flip Flops – please wear them at church next week…and go on stage with them. seriously.
Radio – you filled it fabulously and it sounded effortless. awesome job! God is amazing. loved how He worked it all out for some free airtime!
Student ministry – right there with ya. john and i were in student ministry for years…just thinking about going back ages me about a decade. sometimes I feel so young and then i take a glance at a teenager and realize i’m well on the path to oldness. ha.
Twitter – tried it. refer back to my ‘oldness’ in previous comment.
The Next Food Network Star – dude! Best. show. ever. Well, maybe not ‘ever’, but definitely in the top 10.
John minus Kate plus 8 – really sad that they couldn’t let the show die. it’s time. it’s time. praying that they can work it out eventually. sad sad.
OK, that concludes Melody’s ramblings on the ramblings. Have a good evening.
Very nice!!!! I will work on getting the flip flops on stage… you never know.
I have to admit that I just don’t get Twitter. It’s good to express yourself but no one really ever responds and I like something more interactive like Facebook or text. What do you think? Is Twitter a guy thing? Help me out here
