Update on Dave

I talked to Gloria on Saturday and Dave is home from the hospital. His surgery went well but he will have to be given antibiotics through a PIC line for 2 more weeks. They go to the infectious disease Dr. on Monday to find out just what it was that caused the crazy infection. Continue to keep the Powell's in your prayers.

As a funny side note, Isaak has been really excited to go and buy his invitations for his birthday party. On the way to church this morning he asked if he and I could " skip the funeral part and leave after sunday school." What he meant was the sermon. I hope Pastor Troy wouldn't be offended :)

Pray for Dave Powell

Hey everyone!! I just got off the phone with Dave Powell and he is going in for surgery as I type. I guess he has an infection in his hip joint that they just found today using an MRI and by taking a sample of fluid. I don't know much more than that, Gloria was literally dropping him off at the front door of the hospital when he called. He is at Home Hospital and will be staying at least one night. Please keep him in your prayers!!

Strange

Today has been very strange. Could it be that everyday is this weird and I am just taking extra note of it today? Maybe, but nevertheless something is going on.

• My day began with reading this bumper sticker on the way to take Isaak to school:

"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle"

• While at Goodwill this morning (my favorite place to go) a woman in front of me in line bought a purple sweatshirt. Just as she was finished paying and the cashier named "Joye" (that had about as much Joy as roadkill) handed her the receipt, she sat her purse down on the floor and told Joye she was going to try it on. After she already bought the sweatshirt, she tries it on and decides that it is too small. Hello!!!!! Are we missing something here. Generally you try things on either before you purchase them or in the privacy of your own home once you get there. So the lady decides to return the sweatshirt, for which Joye is not exactly thrilled about and has to call her manager, who must have been on sabbatical because it took him forever to get there. Crazy!!!!

• When I went to pick Luke up a preschool today at Brady Lane Church of Christ I ran into the bathroom really quick. On my way out there is a huge sign on the back of the door that says "No Smoking". Really, do you think? You mean you are not supposed to smoke in the bathroom at church. The worst part is that it was printed off the computer and laminated by hand, meaning at some point in time smoking in the women's restroom at church must have been enough of a problem to warrant the creation of such a sign.

Crazy!!!

Viewer Discretion Advised

I have this kind of " rule" I guess you would call it that I don't watch anything on TV that I could not watch with my kids, even after they go to bed at 8:00 pm. This "rule" of mine pretty much eliminates 99.7% of whats on. Last night while flipping through the channels, I must confess I broke my own rule.( And no, it was not the new Levi 501 Buttonfly ad. )

I have posted the link, I think, to get to the clip from the show, the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. It is called Better Know a Lobbyist : Atheist and is an interview with a leader from the Secular Coalition. I will warn you now, it has very raw humor that some might find offensive, but I find the point behind it to be very well made.
