The Week in Weird 08.15.08

Posted Friday, August 15, 2008 10:49 AM by BJ not BK

 Another week gone by and another week away from the Steeple Community.  Where has all the time gone?  I wake up, I go to work, I go 100 miles an hour and the next thing I know I am going to bed.

It's Friday and that means photos, and lot's of them.

Last Saturday our Bible Fellowship class went to the 1982 World's Fair Park to play.  Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure/displeasure.

1.  Me and little man

 

 

2.  The three amigos

 

3.  This one I call, "The eyes have it"

 

If you like great photography make sure to visit Steve Mckoy's Friday photos here [link] and Joe Thorn's here [link].

Want to see your photo published here?  Submit all family friendly photos to bjnotbk@gmail.com for consideration.  Please note that I reserve the right to publish or not publish any submission.

4. Not sure if you have seen the Olympic coverage this morning?  I was awarded the gold medal in blogging but I threw it down in disgust as I clearly should have been awarded the platinum medal or at least the copper medal.  Have you seen how much copper is selling for these days?

5. "Don't worry...it's not hot."  That was a great one Joe.

6. What are you reading?  Me?  I begin one of my classes on Monday and I am totally stoked.  I have three books to go through.  Spurgeon's Lectures to my students, Reformed Pastors by Baxter, and another I can't remember right now.

7. What are you listening to?  Every time I get in my car someone has turned the radio station to the hardcore rap station and the tank is empty....who could that be?

8.  Weekend plans anyone?  M and I have a baby sitter and reservations at Nama sushi bar.  Anyone out there a fan of sushi?  I love it and I have heard that Nama is the best in town.   

9.  Thanks everyone for reading bjnotbk this week.  My prayer is that you will be entertained and encouraged or challenged each time you stop by.  I am also praying for you, my readers, that is, so be encouraged in knowing that no matter what someone, somewhere is praying for you.  Now go read your Bible, love your family, lover your neighbor, get outside, and love Jesus!

1.) The blues in your tat look sweet in that picture.

2.) Who's that ugly guy on the left?

3.) Eye'll be watching you.

4.) Spoiled unprofessional brats.

6.) Seminary....yeah!  I'm not real sure about seminary, it seems to either make you to conservative or to liberal, why can't I just be a follower of Jesus Christ?

7.) Sorry, I just really like your car dude.

6.) In response to Uncle J: Is seminary important?  Yes.  Do we need it to be a good functioning Christian?  No.  Christianity is being over-run by shallow thinking, one-liner points, worshiptainment, and personal feelings.  Our churches are becoming theaters (or museums in some cases).  Our teachers are often giving us milk and not solid food, either because we cannot stomach solids or they cannot give it.  We should be like Paul, who was thoroughly trained in the law under Gamaliel, yet considered it a loss for the sake of Christ.  Where individuals go wrong after seminary is that they forget to humble themselves and their theories overshadow their personal relationship with Christ Jesus.

Stay strong, BJ.  Seminary is not easy.  Persevere!

That is my pep talk for the day.

Water shooting out of manhole covers scares me....

Wet t-shirt/no shirt contest!

In spite of some poor behaviors (baseball, pole vaulting, bj, boxing, etc.) I am hooked on the Olympics!
