Go here.

Order a shirt (or two, or five) and Wear Red on Fridays – Support Your Troops!

I got into too many events on Friday – didn’t even get to blog. On the other hand, I did get to see “Flags of Our Fathers” – about the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima and the aftermath for the men who raised the flag in the iconic Joe Rosenthal picture.

I’m not going to spoil it, but it was very good. At one point, a four-star general made clear his feelings about Indians (Ira Hayes, a Pima indian, was one of the men in the photograph) and I yelled at the screen. I called the general an SOB, out very loud. There weren’t a lot of people in the theatre at the time, since it was the first showing on the first day of release, at a theatre that not a lot of people frequent at 11:30 on a Friday morning. The ones that were, however, accepted my apology and two of them, former Marines themselves, said they felt the same way.

Yesterday (Saturday), I spent most of the morning with the husband of one of my first wife’s daughters. (Wow, that was a clumsy sentence. I’ll call the daughter C and her husband M, that will be much easier. Let me try this again…)

Yesterday (Saturday), I spent most of the morning with M, C’s husband. He plays guitar for praise and worship at their church, and we sat down and jammed for about three or four hours. When you are having that much fun, you tend to lose track of time. Then, it was off to Costco and then P&W rehearsal for my church.

This morning I picked up dog poop and pulled weeds. I’ll be in church this evening, at the regular service time. Guess who found out last night that he would be doing special music? I’ll be doing “Praise You In This Storm” by Casting Crowns again. Hey, short notice, you get a repeat performance.

I hope you all are having or have had a wonderful and blessed weekend.

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
