YouTube: IT Crowd: truest moment ever!
The IT Crowd ranks right up there with “Nick Burns, Your Company’s Computer Guy” from SNL. Actually it is better because it is British. Anyway I am in the process of “getting” the second season. If you have not seen this show please go check out YouTube! There have been rumors that NBC may bring this show to the US, like they did with The Office. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
As a participant in a portable church each week has the potential to bring new challenges. Since we meet in a local high school a couple of times during the year we have to accommodate some other events that move us out of our preferred environments. These last 3 weeks of April have been and continue to be a challenge. With the spring drama performances last weekend and this weekend we expected to be in the gym for two weeks but found out that the week prior we would also be there as the auditorium was no longer available until the performances were over. That made the first weekend in the gym a big challenge as we had planned to get in the space that weekend to plan for the next but not having the time to plan we had to figure it out on the fly. Over all we pulled it off well - the biggest improvement this weekend was getting some alternative sticks for our drummer. That made a huge difference. This weekend the other half of the gym is being used by another event and we are trying to find a different environment that will work for us but not disrupt the other events. To be honest I am looking forward to seeing how we will overcome this challenge.
Still, I can’t help but dream about a day when we will be able to acquire some commercial real estate that we can share with the community.
A couple years ago I got my wife a nice pair of diamond earrings.
Today I found out that jewelelegance.com is having a treasure hunt promotion!.
Hopefully I can win something.
I have mentioned the situation with our house a few times on my blog, but last week I was talking to a coworker in the UK and if you thought it would be expensive to live in New York just try searching for “movers New York” but as expensive as I thought it was on the East and Left (opps, West) Coasts - real estate in the UK is totally out of control.
My coworker was telling me about his place, a little bigger than a flat but not a big place by an stretch of the imagination and it was right around 1 million pounds! (That is $2million US!!!) I can’t even begin to imagine the cost of living over there.
I am looking forward to next month though as he will be coming over the pond to visit us here in the US. I asked him to bring some marmite which he was surprised that I even knew about it.
With all the (hyped) news about the credit crunch. I am sure some maybe searching for budgeting and planning solutions. Personally I think it is better to follow the K.I.S.S. method (keep it simple, stupid) and have found a great deal of common sense and success in the methods that Dave Ramsey presents. More over in doing some research on DaveRamsey.com I found information about Momentum. Which is a new church program from The Lampo Group that is based upon the question, “Imagine what The People of God could do for The Kingdom of God if they were Debt Free.” After just a few minutes of reading more about Momentum I knew instantly that it would be such a logical step for Journey Church. This needs to be apart of our DNA, what could more empower a community of people to LIVE BIG!
