Trader Joe’s Has Gone Bananas!

What does a banana, an even dollar amount and a dark chocolate with hazelnuts candy bar have in common?
 It’s all part of what happened to me when I checked out at Trader Joe’s today. Our local store is playing a fun game they call “We’ve Gone Bananas!” If your total order rings up to an even [...]

Unaired “24″ Pilot from 1994…

This has been a busy week…hence no posts for a couple of days. However, tonight at about 12:30 PM, I picked up the TV Guide just to get my mind away from other thoughts threatening to keep me awake(!) and I stumbled upon a link to this video. Since it’s likely there will be no [...]

A Trip Down Memory Lane, aka Lithonia, GA

Turkey Gobble

Today we held a Thanksgiving “Turkey Gobble” in our ministry apartment. Our final count was 61 kids and about 15 volunteers in a two bedroom apartment. And we only own 45 chairs…you can imagine what eating a Thanksgiving meal in that crowd was like! Anyway, we had a great day. Besides many of our regular [...]

In order to watch the full [...]

100!

This is my 100th post in this blog! They say a blogger should make their 100th post special…it is a milestone after all.
However, I’m a little “blank” tonight. Or actually, my mind is a little full- lots of details swirling around about a lot of stuff.

The Amazing Race, season 12, episode 1

One of my top favorite shows is The Amazing Race. It started its new season…a little ahead of schedule, too…last night. The only unfortunate thing about watching The Amazing Race, is I should actually be running it with one of my two potential partners, Amanda or Staci. We’ll see.
In the meantime, here is a clip from the [...]
