Go here. Buy a shirt. While you are at it, grab the logo above and freely spread it around while pointing people to the web site.

This week, I’m going with “Rolling Thunder.” This shirt looks good…scroll down to see me!

God bless you all, and stay safe!

Wow…

I just looked at my site counter.

Last I knew, it was hovering around 1500. What the heck happened?

That’s quite the jump, isn’t it?

Thank you, all of you visitors, who happen to be stopping by. I appreciate every one of you, and pray God’s blessing on each and every one of you.

Baby Pool Update

September 27th, 2006 . by Cary

If you haven’t joined the pool yet, get in while the gettin’s good.

Fast version:

My wife is due with our first child on December 25, 2006. Join BlogMad (or, if you are already a member, go there now) and transfer five credits to my account with your best guess as to the day and hour the baby girl will join us.

Currently, the main prize is worth 297 BlogMad credits, and the consolation prize (second best guess, split if two guesses are exactly equally wrong) is worth 68 BlogMad credits.

If you join BlogMad as a new member, the referral credits I get from you joining will be split into the two prize pools. I’m not in this for the credits, I want everyone to have fun!

God bless, and tell your friends!

“This is Cary.”

Hey, brother, it’s Pastor M. How are you doing today?

(danger_radar=ON)

“Doing well, Pastor. How about you and yours?”

Oh, we’re all blessed, enjoying a Sunday morning.

(warning_bells=ON)

“Glad to hear it. What’s up?”

Well, I called to ask how you felt about the song “My Jesus” that we practiced last night?

(warning_volume=MAX)

“Uhm, pretty good. It’s a great song, and I think we could do it really well if -“

How about if just the praise band does it, you know, my guitar, your bass, and J on the drum kit, and then you and I would do the vocals, without the Praise Team?

(danger_will_robinson_subroutine=ON)

“Oh, yea, that would work, and the Praise Team wouldn’t feel like they were just standing up there we should try to-“

(get_as_many_words_in_as_possible=ON)

Good, let’s plan on doing it for special music today, OK?

(you_are_on_your_own_i_tried_to_warn_you=ON)

“Uhm, well, I suppose it would be OK, but I would feel better if we had more time-“

(i_give_up_you_are_hopeless_and_i_will_never_try_to_warn_you_again=ON)

OK, see you at church.” [click]

*sigh*

TMBWitW and I had just sat down to lunch, after registering at Babies “R” Us, and we were going to go register at a couple of other stores. The operative word here is “were” – now my plan became go home, type up the words in letters big enough to see from the music stand, and hope that I could get way better at the whole singing-while-you-are-playing thing. I can play tolerably well, I can sing better than I play. However, I firmly beleive that those who can play and sing at the same time, and do it well, are few and far between. Most of them have recording contracts. Pastor M illustrates my point quite well – and he doesn’t have a recording contract, if you get my drift.

I have to leave now. I have to go run the shuttle, and then the service starts at 5:30. Pary God’s blessing for the results.

In the meantime, God bless you all.
