Pastor talked applied.....

I have been a pastor for a while now and when I back away from the conversations that I typically engage in on a normal day....I start to laugh.  It's all relative!  I had a random thought the other day in regards to pastor talk applied to ANYTHING else.....

For instance, pastor talk applied to the daily ride to work....

"Dude, what you running on the way to work?"

"We started taking this new route about 6 months ago with 2 passengers, but there seems to be a buzz about what's happening."

"We are driving a Honda Odyssey now and we seat about 8 comfortably, but we are at max capacity already."

"I really would like to add another seat, but there is not enough room.  I think I might have to add a second vehicle to fit all the new folks needing a ride."

"That's awesome! What route are you taking to gather so many folks?"

"Well....we have one vehicle going the traditional route, but my buddy's caravan has found a new route that is shorter and more scenic, but not sure the most innovative approach to getting there yet....ask me in a few months."

"Twitter is a great way to find the best practices, from the best drivers with the safest approaches to getting to work...you ought to try it."

"We are even thinking about having a conference concerning the best route, the way to add more space to our vehicles and whether or not our driving habits are conducive for maximum effectiveness on the journey."

I just have to laugh at myself sometimes....this is how I must sound to an eaves dropper.

I Pulled A Hip

I recently met with a friend who just dropped 40lbs. doing this workout called P90.  I watched the DVD first and then tried it with my wife in our living room yesterday.  I looked like Richard Simmons meets Sherman Clump....my wife was laughing and so was my 4 year old daughter.

Good thing I am so secure or I would have been hurt. I can say that my hip flexers (Is that what they are called?) feel like they ripped away from my hip.  I am in so much pain today. 

I think I'm more of a "dance revolution", "sweating to the oldies" or maybe "Here We Go" type of guy......

It's about that time!

The 4th of July is coming up and besides watermelon and the United States of America, the next greatest thing is a Corn Hole tournament. I first learned of this game at Clemson University and we had our own tournament last 4th of July.
I realized that they play in the capital city too. Try it!

Jonathan vs. Leprachaun

You've seen "Alien vs. Predator", "Freddie vs. Jason", "Tom vs. Jerry", but have you seen "Jonathan vs. the Leprachaun."

Go here to check out the epic battle.

Backstreet's Back

One of our old youth pastors is responsible for this boy band. The band was in a youth group in Memphis, TN...2nd Pres. Church Memphis! Great Ode to Backstreet since they are back! Enjoy!

The way I feel

One site to remember when you feel like this:

You know you've been there!

I was with my family and some friends at Wild Wing last night punishing some wings when this song came on the radio.

Immediately I jumped up and started jogging in place. Dustin jumped up on the table and did a toe touch landing on his knees playing the air guitar. Lindsey spontaneously broke out with the air keytar. JoAnna just round house kicked the waitress as she walked by, while Kade and Ella Tays just watched their parents own the restaraunt.

Wait a minute....I was in a daydream.

You know how some songs just move you cerebrally.

If you were to walk out of the house tomorrow and music began to play over your head as your theme song, what would it be?

Your Wrestling Identity

I picked up a local city publication tonight at a restaraunt and as I was looking throught it, I came across a great question.

The question was, "If you were a professional wrestler, what would your name be?"

The one that made me laugh out loud was from a guy in Belton who said "Baby Seal Killa", because it's origional, heartless and cold-blooded.

I thought it was such a great question, I wanted to ask you, the faithful richbutler.org readers the same question?
