After a two month unscheduled blogging hiatus, I am making a return.  I’ve been fairly busy the past two months, and quite honestly always found something else to do other than sit down and write a post for my blog.  So now I am hoping to post on a more regular basis, although it probably won’t be daily.

The world is now a much better place.

WordPress has this section where you can see how many hits your blog has had, and what the search terms were that they entered into a search engine. Today someone came to my blog that had entered the search term “bathroom tornado.” Not sure what that says about my blog, but I thought it was pretty funny!

1. I’ve enjoyed watching the Olympics, but can’t they show something else in prime time other than swimming? I can only take so much of it.

2. I don’t think any one would watch the women’s beach volleyball if the players actually wore clothes. And when did synchronized diving become an Olympic sport?

3. I’ve enjoyed Facebook. I’ve been able to reconnect with some old friends, and keep connected to new ones. If you have a Facebook account, request me as a friend.

4. Twitter has been fun, too. I’ve been able to meet some new people through Twitter.

5. I’m trying to get into running. I’ve always thought it looked fun, but never did it. Tonight I got just over a half-mile in before the lightning scared me enough to make me go inside. I was running long enough for a bug to hit the back of my throat and almost cause a hacking fit.

6. I finally broke down and traded in my Nokia 6010 that I’ve had for 4 years for a new cell phone. At first it was hard parting with ole reliable, but I’m really liking my new phone now.

7. School starts up on Monday. Where did the summer go?

8. Sunday Church is loaning a truck to Freedom Ridge. This is an answer to prayer.

9. Our house in Houston still hasn’t sold. When is it going to sell?

10. Had an impromptu lunch today at BK with a friend. No one in my family likes BK, so I’m glad Eric went with me. Thanks, Eric!

11. Looking forward to speaking at Pathway this Sunday. If you’re in the area, come join me there!

This coming Sunday, August 17, I am speaking at Pathway Church in Johnston IA. It’s right by Des Moines. Anyway, their pastor (Dan Hudson) is going to be out of town taking his daughter off to college. So he asked me to fill in for him, which I gladly agreed to do. After I agreed, he then informed me that they are going through the 10 Commandments and my week will be the Commandment “don’t commit adultery”. So out of all the Commandments, I get the one that is PG13! I think Dan did that on purpose.

Actually, I’m looking forward to it and appreciate Dan giving me the opportunity. If you can come to Pathway, I’d appreciate seeing some familiar faces in the crowd. They start at 10, and click here for directions. If you are coming, let me know and I’ll look for you.

I haven’t seen Heath Ledger in a lot of movies, but I really liked him in The Patriot. I actually own that movie on DVD. Then Heath went and acted in the movie about some cowboys out West. I never saw that movie, never wanted to see it, and never will see it, but I know enough about it to know what the movie is about. Needless to say, I was disappointed in Heath and haven’t been able to watch The Patriot since then.

I went today to see The Dark Knight where Heath plays Batman’s nemesis “The Joker”, hoping that he would redeem himself in my eyes. He did a fantastic job. He was creeping me out in some scenes and was very believable as the insane, sadistic, madman.

I think I might just be able to get out my “The Patriot” DVD again.  (UPDATE: I thought he was GREAT in A Knight’s Tale.)
