We were visited by the Jehovah’s Witnesses this morning. While I disagree with their doctrine, I admire their persistence in evangelism. JW’s are known worldwide for their doorknocking. Sometimes I wish everyday Christians could be more like them, yet without the annoyance factor.
So I’m going to Scottsville tomorrow to help a friend out with his Ebay auctions and webpage setup. I doubt that I’ll be able to get to both topics during my short time there. In fact I don’t have any experience with selling things on Ebay. I know it requires a credit card or something…and a place to host photos. Would Geocities work as a photo host?
I’ll be leaving early in the morning for worship services in Scottsville. I really wish I could stay around MJ for David Shannon’s first sermon of the new year. He usually has a good one to get us all motivated. A few years ago he preached a Lego sermon…showing us we all play a particular role in the whole. We all got Lego bricks to remind us of the role we play. I got a weird type of brick…a black one with no interlocking grids on top. I don’t know if this is symbolic of my role at church or what.
In any case I’ll miss David’s sermons. But duty…or in this case, friendship calls. So I’m up for it.
There’s a new entry in the Ask Jeff section of my weblog. I guess I forgot to mention the new section. It’s for readers to ask me questions for me to answer publically on this website.
So I rented “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” and “Cast Away” today when I returned the videos from the lock-in. (I felt so dirty watching “Remember The Titans” without the cuss box. HA! The kids watched it at the lock in with the cuss box).
Anyways I wanted to watch Planes… due to the fact that none of the major cable stations (TBS, TNT, TNN, USA Network) played it over the Christmas or Thanksgiving breaks. It’s a good holiday movie. Alot of good lines on it. And it was good to see John Candy in true form. Then again, it wasn’t that good and I soon saw why the cable stations passed it over this year.
I’ve seen Cast Away before. Good movie. Sorta surprising they haven’t broadcast it on the cable stations yet. Somehow the cable stations seem to broadcast the same movies over and over again. I used to Like “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” until I saw it for the hundredeth time on Comedy Central.
I am still stratching my head thinking what was Rep. Charles Rangel thinking proposing we reinstate the draft. He says he is wanting the administration to play it cool and collective. If it were to pass, he’d be the most unpopular congressman out there. I don’t know what’s worse…Rangel’s politics or his northern accent.
We definitely don’t need a draft. This isn’t World War III. We aren’t under direct attack where we’d need many more troops.
