outside is better

Outta Site(Outta Mind)

Over the last week I have been to busy and really bored.  I guess the summer is starting to wear thin.  I feel like a geek saying that I can't wait for school to start.  But here is my run down of the last week or so.

Tuesday-watched a TV show about stromboli and started a quest that continued through the week.

Thursday- Dinner with Alan Creech.  This could have been dangerous but instead it was a ball of fun.  We hung out at Macaroni Grill and his wonderful wife Liz, was our waitress (thanks again for letting me steal your husband for the night).  I asked if they had stromboli and they didn't.  I was glad to finally get to hang out with Alan because we have been playing internet tag for at least 2 months.

Friday-Had lunch with my friend MaryAnn Stewart (I call her sausage ball).  We had fun, it is always great to hang out with Wesley people.  Found out that two of my students from last year are getting married. Congrats Courtney and Austin.  Sausage Ball and I ate at Hot Stone pizza in Wilmore.  They didn't have Stromboli. That night Meredith and I went to dinner with the Caldwell's.  I convinced them to go to Joe Bologna's in Lex-Vegas because I saw stromboli on the menu.  But it was some sort of sandwich and not the real thing, so I had sausage and pepper's instead.

Saturday-worked around the house a bit and went to hang out with the family (our little crowd here in KY).  We had breakfast for dinner....tons of bacon but no stromboli.

So did you get the theme of last week...?

Holy Words and a Dirty House

Meredith is in Boston for the week, so I am living like a single man for the next few days.  That means living off of BBQ and not changing socks.  I bought a pork loin, whole chicken, skirt steak, and some fish to eat while she is gone. Not to mention 3 six packs of Ale-8-one, which I refer to as Kentucky Crack. I have had the pork loin smoking for an hour already.

My plan is to get ready for the last week of school.  I have a 35 page paper to write and two pieces of liturgy/song lyrics to write.  So I plan on holing up like I am trying to break a smack habit and getting all of this done before flying to DC this weekend. 

The liturgy I am writing is for a service focused on Sabbath.  I am writing a call to worship responsive reading that will talk about the called out community and follow an Apostles Creed/Trinitarian formula.  I am also writing some lyric dealing with the theme of rest from Hebrews 4.  I think that should be interesting.  It is pretty focused on the specific worshiping community and I think that I easily could have written it for the Wesley at Tech.

My Boy Justin is in Africa for a few weeks, if you remember please pray for him.  I already heard one story about a crazy cab ride with a Turkish guy and that was just on the way to the airport in NYC.

Well have a great one.
