I have actually been on a positive roll.
- Yesterday I blogged that I wish I had a tv for the church basement, and lo and behold.... someone (who I'm thinkin wants to remain nameless, but who comments on here a lot) offered us a free 36" tv. How cool is that!? I was floored.
- I've been working on the flyers and press release for our annual fish fry, and last night at the board meeting we decided all the profits from this year's should go to Fort Wayne Rescue Ministries. One of my goals when I came here was to change this fish fry from being a fundraiser for our church to being something we could use to bless others. I would guess for the last 5 years or so we have given away any money we've made off of it. Each year we give it to someone else. Plus - it's a darn good all-you-can-eat fish and tenderloin meal. $7 for adults; $5 for kids 6-12; free for 5 and under. Saturday, Oct. 13 from 4:30-7 pm - if you're not busy. :)
- I met this morning with a friend who is planting a new church in our area (Tocsin, of all places). Man, it was so nice talking with someone who is excited about what they're doing. And I love the vision he has for his church - laid back, no hassles, good news stuff. This coming Sunday will be their first gathering. I hope it goes well. You simply can't have enough churches as far as I'm concerned.
- I was just thinking this morning that I DO have a pretty good job. I mean, aside from playing bass in a punk rock band, it couldn't be any better than I have it. I can wear whatever I want, I can take the dog to the office with me, when I'm in a rut I can pick up the guitar and strum, I don't have to fight traffic to get to the office, and I don't have a boss breathing down my neck every day (well, unless you count HIM). So, you know, until the right band comes along (and I actually learn to play the bass).... I can diggit.
- Oh, and I've ran on the treadmill 2 days in a row. I need to make that a regular practice again.
Peace, folks. Folky peace. I used to always write something about a revolution. That would be a good idea again someday. I can't remember the quote though - it was from Cameron Crowe if I remember correctly....
I have actually been on a positive roll.

Well darn....I guess you won't be needing this 13inch black and white set I have that needs a pair of vice grips to change the channels. :-)
As far as knowing me, yes you do. I have called you both pastor and friend. Sadly we have not seen one another for a long time because of a poor situation that I created. I am sure if you think about it then you will come up with a name :-)
Never knew my profile was set to private. Actually have no idea how to set up the profile. Oh well, live and learn.
Hope my comments have at least made you smile.
"Cris,"
The only "C(h)ris's" I know of that are male both spell their name with an "h." So either I am forgetting someone, or Cris is not your real name. If I've forgotten you, I am sorry. But if not...
I know people who don't use their real name (on the internet and in person), but they are up front about it from the beginning. I don't like anonymous comments, and I REALLY don't like people who try to deceive me by pretending to be somebody else. I think we've been this route before. I'm not interested in playing this game!
