Let's Get It (Re-) Started
Stephen Update Absolute Randomness Church Stuff Haiku Trackbacks (0) Your commentMe: No, it's been way too long, they're not going to understand...
Also Me: Trust me, someone will understand.
Me: You really think so?
Also Me: I'm sure of it. You made it so memorable before! Of course they'll remember it now!
Me: I have my doubts. Should we explain?
Also Me: Not yet. We still have the footnotes.
Blog remains idle.
I think I'll write a Haiku
Or Stephen Update.
I guess when you boil it all down, you can actually have both here on one page. I mean, I have Stephen'z Blog pop up in my browser on startup, apparently to remind me that I haven't blogged anything seriously in about three months. To which I ask, "Why the heck not?!?"
My answer: "I dunno."
(I talk to my self alot on this thing, don't I?)
I mean, it's not like a lot hasn't happened in the past three months. We've passed 5 federal holidays, three of them major family events. (I really need to get pictures from our next President's Day jack-o-lantern carving bonanza.) Maybe it actually is the fact that a lot has happened in the past three months. Chandler has had lots of firsts. That little booger is crawling everywhere now and he's just a couple hairs away from taking his first steps. Currently, he is experiencing a little bit of a cold, courtesy of some kids at church. I also am experiencing a little bit of a cold, courtesy of Chandler. (Just when I thought I had gotten rid of 7/8 of what I had before, I start all over again. 
)
Back to my problems on why I'm not posting, it's because there are so many other places that I can just stick stuff and be done with it. Twitter, Facebook...okay, so there are two other places that I can just stick stuff and be done with it. I guess I have forgotten that I like to put a bunch of discontiguous thoughts here on Stephen'z Blog as well. Huh...I'll keep that in mind.
We have a new floor! You should see the new floor we got as an early Christmas present. If I knew then what I knew now, it would either look a whole lot better, or we would have paid someone to put it down. I'm not sure which. It was one of those snap-together laminate floors. It's a whole lot easier to put it in on TV, I guarantee you. Perhaps I should use a video camera next time. For the most part, it looks great! My finish carpentry skills still need some work. Some better tools would help, too, but I think most of it's my skills.
I have a new grill! Yeah, boyeeeee! I gots some bling in my mouf! Oh, wait...not that kind of grill. I have a new gas grill. Shanda got me that for Christmas. It is fabulous. Especially considering the last one we had was falling apart. I'm actually becoming more willing to put hamburgers on the grill. They flare up, they stick, they fall apart...but now that I'm working with a decent appliance, I'm not so afraid to try, so it's working to my advantage. Again, better tools, improving skills.
We're going to a new church! Really, it's a new church...like brand new. It's even got that new church smell. It still has that break-in oil. This church is soooo new! (How new is it?!?) Well, I'm glad I asked...this church is so new, the pastor, who's from California, is still suffering jetlag! This church is soooo new, the worship band likes to shy away from playing all of those old hymns like the ones they play on K-Love. Okay, so I might be exaggerating just a tad, but it is a brand new church. They only had their launch service a little over a month ago. (We were there. It was awesome.) We've fallen in love with this church. It's considerably smaller than where we were going, which for us is a good thing. We've already met several people, had supper at the pastor's house. One of the cool tools we're using at church is SOAP. Yes, we're washed in the blood and washed in the tub. No wait...there must be a reason SOAP is in all caps. Ah yes, it stands for Scripture, Observations, Application, and Prayer. We're studying a scripture (a daily chapter of John lately), writing down our observations on the scripture, writing how we can apply it to our lives, and writing out a prayer to God based on the scripture. So...if you see me SOAPing up my blog, you'll know why.
I don't know what else to fill you in on, so I guess I'd better split. Bye!

Me: So yeah, about that up there?
Also Me: Yeah? What about it?
Me: We said we would explain it in the footnotes?
Also Me: Let's give them a sense of accomplishment.
Me: Oh, no...you're not gonna have them read the whole entire blog are you? There's like 15 pages!!!
Also Me: Nah, I was just gonna suggest they use the search box up there to enter "first paragraph" and see what it is we're talking about.
Me: Oh, good idea! But they can read the whole entire blog if they want to, right?
Also Me: That's a BIIIIG if.
