Friday is here!

What’s up people? What a week!
1. Red Sox lost the game Wednesday and I missed the three top highlights. Was getting something to eat when I heard the crowd roar(thought Orioles had scored) for Manny’s catch, high five and double play. Heard another roar when Varitek homered(there were way more Red Sox fans at this game). Took Mike’s son to the bathroom in the seventh and heard Jay Payton’s grandslam over the PA. At least I got to see them on Sportscenter. Great park, great Boog’s BBQ, and terrible traffic on the way home.
2. We are lining up an interview in NC next weekend so be praying for this opportunity. It seems like a good fit and I’ve known the pastor for a while. It means that the Rhodes will be one state away and we won’t get to see them…at least until we plant the first Hawaiian Wesleyan church.
3. Why is it that when a Republican states a historical fact that it is viewed as a political attack? Also, when they quote a Democrat. I’ve also noticed that the people that the DNC sent out to defend Obama yesterday have never won a big election. Tom Dachele lost his Senate seat in South Dakota. John Kerry lost the presidency and John Edwards ran for president twice(and lost) because he wasn’t going to win Senate re-election in NC. Now, everyone is pumped that Al Gore may endorse Obama soon. I consider myself an independent, but the Democrats primary rules-which have lead to this long nasty primary battle(which I’ve enjoyed watching by the way)-are crazy. The way they award delegates makes no sense. If I were a Democrat I’d be really angry. If I were a Republican, I’d be made that the people in Congress haven’t come up with any sort of plan and have just let the Democrats do as they wish even though they haven’t gotten much done either. I just think our political system is broken, but it’s still better than most countries. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, but I’ve decided I’m more interested in see people transformed than trying to fix or fight a political system.
4. Took the girls to a carnival last night. Took each of the girls down this big slide, the kind where you slide on a burlap sack. About halfway down Charis started crying. When we reached the bottom I helped her up and asked,”What’s wrong?” She jumped up and said,”I’m scared-let’s do it again!”
5. Narnia is tonight! Had an awkward moment during the first one when a father kept berating his small child sitting behind us. I still wish I had said something to him, but they eventually left. It did lead to a good conversation with the youth group teens who were sitting with me about taking young kids to movies and how to act in public. Plus we are eating at Moe’s! Yes!
Well, I got calls to make, books to pack, and gotta take some medicine for this wicked head cold. Twitter that.
