GCR Day at the Ballpark

They're not going to invite us back.

Some of you may recall a post this past Easter about the snow fiasco at the Ballpark. Every year we host "Easter at the Ballpark," a city-wide worship service at the AA Midlands Rockhounds ball park. And this year it snowed on Easter. The event was canceled, as was the game.

So to make up for it, the Rockhounds set up GCR Night this past Sunday night. We sold tickets at half price to our church. About 4:00, we started getting light rain.

We made it to the bottom of the 2nd inning and then the bottom dropped out. Noah showed up. I actually saw an ark in left field.

But I bought a hat!

Oxymoron

This past Sunday our minister used a few oxymorons to make a point in his sermon. Here are a few of them with my most favorite at the end.

Jumbo Shrimp.

Civil Litigation.

Fairly Accurate.

Negative Growth.

Nothing Much.

Pure Evil.

Short Sermons.

And my most favorite had to do with a bit of software many people know...

Microsoft Works.

There you go Lana, how 'bout that one?

Holy is the Lord

A friend turned me on to this YouTube video today. Someone (user name is gregmuzac) has taken the song Holy is the Lord from Andrew Peterson and set it footage taken mostly from TNT's movie about the life of Abraham. It is a fabulous video. Well worth seeing. And here it is...

Microshaft Hat Pt.2

You may have seen one of my earlier posts entitled "Microshaft Hat." I'm not supposed to hate anyone, so hat is one letter short. Anyway, I'd sworn to myself that I was not going to buy another Windows machine. I have a Mac Pro at my office and I love it.

And then my son's computer went on the fritz. Yes, it was running XP, but it was also glitchy when dual booted with Kubuntu. It's a 7 year old white box so it was time. I wanted to give him my computer and get me a Mac. But the money was just not there yet. I can't drop a grand or so.

Then I found a good deal ($330) on an Emachine at Best Buy. Running Vista of all things. I had to have something since school starts soon and my son needs a computer for his work. So, he got my 10 month old Dell and I am writing this from a new Vista Emachine.

AAAAARGH!

Now I need to start saving money for a Macbook. Everyone needs a laptop. Right? I need to start working on an angle to justify that one...
