Weekly Wonderings & Wanderings
This entry was posted on 1/12/2009 9:11 AM and is filed under Weekly Blog Post.
Hello Readers! It's been a while, but I am going to attempt to be more regular in my blogs this year...and perhaps a bit lighter some of the time. My goal is to blog at least twice per week - with a regular Monday blog to talk about the past week. So here goes...
Five Best Things from the Past Week:
1. Will turned 3 on Sunday (and he now LOVES his new cowboy boots).
2. We had a great visit with our friends on Saturday night at Will's party - including a Wii Smackdown.
3. Our first Sunday back at the LHBC H'ville campus. Lance Brown's class is still as crazy as ever!!!
4. Steve Sullivan back in a Predators uniform after 2 years of back problems.
5. Our conversion to "Mac" from PC.
Five Worst Things from the Past Week:
1. The Titans...ugh!
2. The weather - no golf for Aaron!
3. The painful transferring of contact info from PC to Mac.
4. A good friend of mine from High School lost her baby this week - please pray for the Brodt family in Texas.
5. Still 10 days until the season premier of "LOST."
Quote of the Week:
"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
- Sir Winston Churchill (merged from previous quotes by George Orwell & Rudyard Kipling).
Bible Passage of the Week:
"Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right." - Acts 10:34-35 (NIV)
This passage has two great truths:
- God loves everyone equally
- God makes it easy for everyone to find Him (we don't have to jump through a lot of religious hoops!)
Word of the Week:
Simulacrum - (noun) an image or representation of something; an insubstantial form or semblance (i.e. - just a trace). It comes from the Latin word "simulare."
