STUFF

Posted by Reverend Ref + at 9:24 PM

Lots of stuff going on.

Boise State - Oklahoma . . . what more can you say than, "WOW."

I did a funeral today for the owner of one of the bars in town. He died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack last week. I met him through my monthly bar nights, and his wife has become a regular at church. It was a good service, and then we all went to the bar to celebrate his life. Lots of food. A few drinks. Lots of good stories. And I did my obligatory invitation to church. It was a good day.

I received compliments on everything from the selected bible passages to my jeans.

I managed to get some sermon thoughts down for Sunday. I think I'm going to do something with light and fire and baptism. Not sure how it'll all pull together just yet.

Clean up from stuff piling up while away.

Getting ready for the annual meetings and the parochial reports.

I like the blog, Ref. In the there are no accidents department, I'd just read a bit in the NY Times on the impending end of The King of Queens. Already? But I've not seen it yet. So it was a bit striking that I then took a 2-click trip over to Jake's, saw your, comment and blog link, and here I be.

I like it. This is neat. I may be back.

Happy New Year

Also, maybe another hook: I grew up in Oklahoma. I understand they didn't do so well in the Fiesta Bowl. I'll spare you my high-school marching-band Fiesta-bowl story.

RudigerVT: Thanks for the visit. Maybe one day you can tell me that story.

Weeeeel, my first year of high school, the ambitious band director decided we'd attend the Fiesta Bowl to march in their parade and compete in their halftime-show competition. The parade went off largely without a hitch (though I nearly ran into an unannounced camera operator who was standing between the ranks, except I was in the middle of a row of 5 percussionists--xylophone--and looked up just in time to swerve around). Anyway, the day of the competition, there was record-level rainfall and flooding: 24 hours, on a bus (from OK City), to get rained out, in the desert.

Festive, eh?
