You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart.

Mark's Gospel Live

This sounds really interesting and I plan on attending if anyone else is interested in joining me.

***********************************************************************************

Friday, Feb 25th, 7pm. Performance in the Cathedral of Christ the King.

The actual words of The Gospel of St. Mark memorized & performed as a play by actor and priest, Fr. Joseph Morris. A first-century drama of love, betrayal, and newness of life. Great for both children and adults!

2 acts separated by a 30-minute intermission
Admission: free will offering.

Father Joseph first took an interest in the Gospel of St. Mark in graduate school. In his first years as a parish priest, he and 16 performers performed the Gospel as a set of consecutive one-actor performances--in 100 minutes for local churches. After breaking his leg in 2001, Joseph took the recovery time to memorize and stage Mark as a one-actor production. He’s been doing it ever since—on his days off, on holidays, whenever and wherever possible.

Freaky DVD Player

Okay, as some of you know, I got a DVD player for Christmas. I was really excited about this because I have come to realize that to rent anything from Blockbuster, its almost imperative that you have a DVD player because they have no VHS movies anymore.

So on New Years Day, I pull out the DVD Player and hook it up. All looks good so I turn it on and proceed to hit the Open/Close button for the DVD drive. Nothing happens. I try again. I try the channel changer that came with it nothing happens. I become very bummed out. I try everyday for several days and then finally give up. KP stops by and I tell him about it. He tries, no such luck. That was just this past weekend.

Today, I decide randomly to try it again. I turn it in, the screen does a few different things, then I hit open/close button. Wala...it opens up. Now is that freaky or what.

Now I am scared to use it afraid that it will decide to stop working again. All my technological friends what do you think?

Goals 2005

These are in random order and a quick draft because I have to go work on a couple of them :-)

- Loose 30 lbs that I have gained the last 6 months.
- Excercise More
- Eat Healthier
- Make a decision about where life is headed next.
- Complete the execution of a successful ODK Province X Conference in February.
- Be more prepared for Bible Study
- Have Fun, but not too much
- Save money for that next life decision
- Read More
- Finish 1 of 3 Cross-stitches for my cousin's kids in 2 weeks, and hopefully finish the other 2 by end of year :-)

Okay I better go start working on this list.

Car Woes Continue

So I get home after church and decide to attempt to get the grime off my windshield. I am still not sure what it is and it doesnt come off easily. There is still a bit stuck on the windshield but I was tired and hungry so I quit. Any solutions are welcome.

As I cleaned the windshield, I found a nice chip out of the passenger side of the windshield. So how long til this goes from a small chip to a nice crack? Guess I am going to have to figure out how to get that taken care of as well in the next few months depending on how fast the crack grows.

I definitely dont have luck with cars but I will take these woes over mechanical woes like my other cars have had.

Rental Frustrations

Wed Night, I took my car in to Don Jacobs to get the rearend repainted (Accident on 12/11) as well as get a clearcoat patch on the front bumper fixed. In this whole process, you already have the frustrations of taking your car in and having to find another form of transportation. Thankfully the person who hit me insurance paid for the rental car.

I get a nice size rental car which surprised me because the lady said that the insurance had paid for something in the class with Cavalier, Corolla, and Focus. I ended up with a Chrysler Siebring, 4 door. It was okay no big shakes and definitely had no power behind it.

I leave the parking lot and go the Catholic Bookstore maybe a block away. Find some nice books and come back out to notice the front right tire low. Being a rental there is no tire gauge, so I really cant tell what the pressure is. So I go to the nearby the, surprised to find FREE Air :-) Granted no tire gauge so I fill it up as much as I think it needs and go on my way to Bible Study where I knew someone would have a tire gauge.

25 lbs of air. :-( So I call the rental 800 line and they send out AAA to fix the tire. All they do is put the donut on the car. Now what the heck good is that going to do me trying to get to Louisville in the morning. Absolutely none. But I was in the middle of attempting to lead Bible study so I went back in to finish. Afterwards, I called the rental company again. All the branches were closed. The one in Gtown opens at 8 in the morning. They can replace the car.

Great, now I am going to be late to work. I already left early Wed and had to leave early on Fri to handle all the car issues. Plus my officemate was going to be late. Unfortunately nothing that I can do about it.

So I go to the Gtown branch, Thurs morning. They have a new Mazda 6 in the parking lot but the paperwork is not completed, so they cant send it with me :-( Probably a good thing. Instead they take the car next door and get the flat repaired. The flat had not 1 but 2 nails in it. How the heck do you give a customer a rental with 2 nails in the front tire? The guy at Gtown was really nice and helpful. So the tire was fixed and I went on my merry little way to work.

Thankfully I made it safely to work, stayed in town, and made it safely back yesterday afternoon to get my car back.

Big Blue...has two nice and shiny bumpers now, along with some chips filled in on the hood. And it cost me nothing, thankfully. No the fun of keeping it cleaned in this weather and not using the automatic or high pressure washes. That could be fun.

Happy New Year - Welcome 2005

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe evening last night to ring in the new year.

May this year be full of blessings and wonderful memories.

Christ Blessings be with each of you.
