Happy birthday blog

Random Monday Thoughts;

• Happy birthday Blog – you’re two years old.  Two years of funny Abby stories, not-so-smart thoughts from me (brad) and general tom-foolery two or three times a week (for some reason I thought of Marc when I said “tom-foolery”.)  
• Over two years, the most read post is Pastors Kids. Google “pastors kids” and I’m #3?  Every week I get e-mails from people telling me their reflections on being a pastors kid and whether it was a good experience or a bad one.  It’s crazy how many terrible stories I hear – I think my kids will  need counselling   (Not because they are a pastors kid … just because of who their dad is!) 
• These past couple of weeks I’m really experiencing “sermon hangover” on mondays.  It’s a feeling like nothing I’ve ever felt like before.   It’s a mixture of tiredness, release and a feeling of “I should have done better”. 
• I spoke on “finances” yesterday and I’ve heard some great responses so far.  Some people have contacted me for some financial guidance (I’m not giving the guidance – I’m pointed them to people who can) and some people have talked to me about some decisions they have made.   I always feel weird talking about topics like this b/c I know I’m not a pro!  My prayer is always “LORD … HELP”. 
• My kids are taking me to Red Lobster tonight – I love Red Lobster.  (I have a funny feeling that I’ll be paying for the meal even though they are the ones doing the “taking”!
• If you attend MTC I’m assuming that if you came yesterday you realized how incredible of a guitar player Dwight is.  WOW the guy is incredible. 
• I’m slowly becoming a Calgary Flames fan.  It’s not that I haven’t been but I grew up watching the Canadians play and I have a special place in my heart for them.  I still have my Bob Gainey, Larry Robinson and Claude Lemieux posters … but karen won’t allow me to put them up in our bedroom.  If I could only find a poster of the greatest player of all time I would be happy … Bobby Smith. (for a non hockey fan you’d never heard of him … for a hockey fan … you probably don’t remember him)
• I’m sceptical of the new instant coffee from Starbucks.  “Instant” and “coffee” should never be in the same sentence. 

There you go – Have a great week.
