God is more exciting than Indiana Jones


I love going to the movies...always have. The smell of popcorn and the whole event like feel of a cinema.

The lights dimming and the curtain widening...

However nowadays the lights seem to be off from the start...ripped off.

Nostalgia aside, I am in fact looking forward to the latest Indiana Jones offering this thursday and thanks to my raving mate mandrake i'm all sussed for the premiere...sweetness.

However I do hope it's more exciting than the last crusade which i watched on saturday night...and promtly fell asleep half way through. It can't be the fact that i was lying on the couch in front of a cosy fire with my wife at work and the kids asleep. Anyway an early night is good now and again.

This may sound crazy to some but I now have more excitement pulling into the carpark of my local church than the parking lot of the movies. I'll have you know this was not always the case, being quite honest.

Upon arriving at church my heart starts beating faster and i have an expectancy that anything can happen...and i'm ready for it. Bring it on! The tangible presence of God, unspeakable joy, peace...healings, deliverance...

God is doing a new thing and it is reeally exciting.

So if i had a choice of going to church to hang out with God or the movies, God is definitely more exciting than Indiana Jones.

The giant head


My wife cracks up at 3rd rock from the sun! You know the show with the aliens. You've gotta love Dicks forehead slap salute...classic.
I watched it years ago when it was first on...but now i'm reading stories to my kids at this time of night. Dad's who read stories rock!!

Nevertheless the mirth of my wife resounds throughout the house and i wondered what i was missing out on.

So i delayed the story time and watched a bit of an episode. I have to admit that although nowhere near as good as the old 80's programs (that are incidentally all back on the newish sky BOX channel) it was funny.

This brings me to the Giant Head. This is the aliens boss that Harry can communicate with...yeah... i know you know. So I was wondering what the Giant Head looked like (falls asleep dreaming).

Blow me down if the next day the very thing hadn't reared its ugly self on my NECK! ARRRGH!
A giant infected sebaeceous cyst...this thing is like a super pimple on steroids. I thought about drawing eyes on it and calling it my emerging twin or telling people i was growing a new nose for my friend to graft on...but...

Okay this blog is deteriorating fast so i had better stop before i gross too many people out...WASSUP?!
