Sorry

I just wrote a really long post and my computer ate it.

What is the theme? Cursing

Please forgive me for I haven't blogged in a good while. This summer has just beaten me to a pulp. I have ben busy with, mostly, church stuff as the cheif (pastor) has been away for various reasons. Someone told me at a church meeting the other night, "You look tired." I hate that! I hate looking tired! I am tired- I need a break. I'm off from home church this Sunday, so I think we're planning on visiting a church we've never been to.- the local Kingdom Hall! YEAH!

Oh boy, what do I ned to tell you about, here? Um, we got a dog and sent it back from whence it came because our cat decided to piss on our bed- at 3:00 a.m. ! Damn dog! (two cuss words in one sentence!)

We saw "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" it was bad. Johnny Depp is a good actor and Tim Burton is a good director. They should have just left well enough alone. I mean, how in the name of Jesus can someone re-make Willy Wonka without the Anthony Newly music?

Mrs CC and the clergy kids went to a state up north that has a lot of lakes and the youngest clergy kid (a very cute five year old boy) after climbing to the top of a pontoon boat said "Who in the hell would want to jump off that thing? He was referring to the covering which was over part of the pontoon. Mrs. CC said, "What did you say?" To which he repeated very matter of factly: "I said, who in the hell would want to jump off that thing?" Mrs. CC nearly busted a gut not laughing at his cuteness. Let me be clear abotu one thing- I used to be a really good cusser and I one day decided to cut it out and gradually, there were less bombs of any kind going off in our little clergy house. Needless to say, he's been hanging around some potty mouth neighbors.

I preached at home church last Sunday on Christ's Ascension. I know, that's right before Pentecost, but we are in the midst of a sermon series about our sanctuary's stained glass windows and I drew the one about the Ascension. I did the best I knew how and I just feel as though it was not one of my best. I really struggled getting it together and thought that I just really needed to deliver it with passion, which would make up for possible lack of content. I was wrong- shall we move on?

I'm sick of writing and I'm hungry.
