Moving, Part 2
October 8th, 2007 | by Scott |We are neck deep. Here is what is going on around these parts:
–This weekend is the big garage sale. Hopefully we can get rid of a bunch of the excess that we have accumulated since the last one we had almost 6 years ago.
–We plan on loading up on the 22nd and being Oklahomans on the 23rd. That’s just two weeks away. And still so much to do. We need to lock in a truck yesterday.
–Houston Nutt is apparently going to be allowed to finish the season. Why?
–Scrabble is way too addictive on facebook. We are selling version 1.0 in our garage sale. If you haven’t added me on Facebook, by all means, look me up.
–World Communion Sunday was such a blessing. One especially moving moment was when the communion passage was read in Greek, Spanish, German, Afrikaans and English.
–For years I’ve been unable to part with my “salad” tapes. I would spend hours perfecting the perfect mix tapes to enjoy in the car. Now, I have learned how to put them on my iPod. I love technology.
–My car is in the shop. Stupid Alternator.
–So, we have this refrigerator. It’s a big side-by-side. We bought it when we bought our first house 9 years ago. It’s been moved 6 times and taken a beating each time. It works fine but the doors have taken a licking and the ice maker no longer works. I say we sell it and do a same as cash on a new one and not mess with moving it yet again. But fridges are expensive.
–I’m looking forward to beginning preaching in Ponca City. I’m brainstorming an initial preaching series. I’ll have 4-5 Sundays before the start of Advent. Any thoughts?
–Tony Romo will you throw a few touchdown passes to Marion Barber tonight? Please?

For a 4 week sermon series you could do a gospel a week. Or another thought would be to take one of the letters that runs 4 or 5 chapters and do a chapter a week. My personal choice for that would be Philippians.

I hope in addition to your Garage Sale that you also utilize Craigslist.com. It has a cult following of, like, a bajillion people. And perhaps Craigslist.com can also help you decide what to do with the fridge. Is there an appropriate fridge posted on a craiglist community near Ponca City waiting just for you?
And do tell more about World Communion Sunday.

Dude, the salad tapes rocked.
I’m just tripping over your use of liturgical language…

Scott, you know i’m uneducated having to go in the army out of the third grade.I thought liturgy meant you were smart.

John, good ideas. Thanks.
Ruthie, thanks for reminding me of Craig’s list. And I will probably blog separately about world communion. I so loved my worship experience yesterday.
Dan, did life get any better than cruising through the night listening to one of my new concoctions and modifying the lyrics?
Dad, I thought it was second grade.

Well, first of all, Dave Ramsey would say that “same as cash” is not the same as cash. Keep the fridge.
Second, I can’t tell you what to preach, but I can tell you what NOT to preach. Do not preach on the evil oil empire, oil sucks, oil is Satan’s tool, etc. You might be able to get away with some swipes at big corporations, since Conoco packed up and left, but I would advise against it, since you might have some retirees in the group. Don’t dog the Pioneer Woman, and you should be fine.

How about a series with a good acronym for a name: I am thinking IYQYQR: Why I Am Not Here To Change Your Church.
Of course, that might have been more palatable at Northside than this church, but…
