| | A friend reminded me the other day that I posted a blog on here around
Christmas about my dad being in the hospital ... and then I never put
anything else on here about it. Here's the quick update: He's been
going through speech and physical therapy for the last couple of weeks
at Lourde's Hospital in Paducah, and he's more than likely going to be
coming home sometime tomorrow. He's getting around pretty good, but
there's still a long way to go mentally. He's very aware, but he
doesn't always seem to be getting everything. Plus, his speech isn't
even close to being all the way back yet, so there's the communication
barrier. We're still waiting to hear what the home health scenario is
going to be like. Just keep us in your prayers (especially my mom!).

THIS is my Super Bowl?!?
I
lamented the fact last year that I didn't have any kind of Super Bowl
party to go to, and that watching the game at home with family was just
no fun. This year, though, I think I'm just going to bypass the thing
altogether. On one side, we've the New England Cheaters ... er,
Patriots, and on the other side we've got whiny Eli and the New York
Giants. I'm sure this is the kind of matchup ESPN and other news
organizations are salivating over because it's all up north, but I
couldn't care less. I think I'll just turn in early this year and get
some sleep.

I
had a chance to go to a really big non-denomination church this
weekend. They had probably the most flawless sound system I've ever
heard in a church, and, of course, they had it pumped to maximum
volume. Now, I used to be one of these people that would complain that
my church wasn't doing enough new music. I thought we did too much old,
soft music. After this weekend, though, I think I was probably wrong to
complain about that.
I mean, look around your church at the
people who go there. If it's a healthy church, you're going to have
people of all ages there. Can you imagine being 60 and having Hillsong
blasted into your ears at ridiculously high volumes for an hour? Would
you enjoy that? I don't think I would, but that's what you get in a
"relevant" church today. What ends up happening is you actually divide
the body just based on musical preference. I had just gotten together
with a friend who's a Reformed Presbyterian the night before I went to
this church, and he sat around with his acoustic guitar playing Keith
Green songs. Does that make him less relevant or spiritual? I don't
think so. But he sure wouldn't have been very hip where I was this
weekend. |
