I thought it was funny. November 29, 2006
The Latest , 8 comments by Steph, Nadia, Jason Paone, Serena, Luca, Angie, and Mythos.I’m telling you, hang around in my Home just a few minutes after Home Council ends and you will always discover a jewel of some sort. Yesterday’s treasure is as follows:
So we decide during Home Council that we will put a sign-up sheet on the fridge where everyone lists some ideas for an inexpensive gift they want for Christmas to make it easier for their Christmas Angel* (*you know, pick a name from a hat etc. etc.) So….
Jules is sitting there after the meeting ends, minding her merry own business and pretending to be busy on her two-ton 1989 laptop, when she happens to overhear the following conversation between a nameless loving couple.
Wife: I’m going to list mascara on the sign-up sheet because I need some because mine is all dried out.
Husband: That’s so carnal, so earthly, so worldly. Pick something that has meaning and real value. You can’t take mascara with you to heaven.
Jules, speaking to the husband: So, what are you going to put on the list?
Husband: Beer.
Well that hits the nail on the head November 22, 2006
The Good Stuff , 1 comment by Woozers.Instead of asking you to work on eliminating stress, another way to say it would be: Don’t be proud, fearful, self-centered, independent, unprayerful, unwise, unkind, and vain.
—Stress Not
Are the GN’s getting better and better or what?

What is now missing from my life. November 18, 2006
The Latest , 5 comments by Tammy, Maria, Marieanne, Luca, and Steph.King Julien voices
Harem stuff
Foiled April Fool’s plans
Differnt hair color every three months
Your love of boring American foods
The knowledge that I could always get the latest music off of you
All my files on my computer being catagorized and organized
Your sporadic frenzied cleaning sprees
Your mad love for the Lord
Your PowerPoints
Your twitch
Your groupie streak
I’ll miss a great friend, fellow coffee advocate (I now have one less person to stand with me agaisnt the crowds of scoffers and apostates to that heavenly elixir of life), fellow PS lover, fellow excersise-hater, and fellow disciple. I know you’ll do great!
Oh jes 
Lights fading. Limbs growing cold… November 14, 2006
The Latest , 5 comments by Luca, I love Jules, and The Driving Instructor.So I’m learning a stick shift.
By learning, I mean learning how to restart a car a whole, whole lot.
I feel like I’ve been honeymooning and happily married to the love of driving for ten glorious months and suddenly I find my Love has morphed into a moody, stubborn, emotional rollercoaster where I have to push all the right buttons at exactly the right time or else it’ll kill me, then restart, and kill me again.
My wise, patient, and long-suffering instructor has told me that I didn’t do bad for the first time and I am extremely grateful for the continence of my life and his and that the Lord kept us as I drove (if you can call it that) through the back roads, which seemed at the time like the Valley of the Shadow of Death. But still man, its freaky stuff.
That’s some intense choreography going on to make the darn thing move. Handbrake, clutch, shift to first, bring up your RPM’s, release handbrake, ease off the clutch and back again. I started practicing the moves at Home Council this evening. Freaky stuff.
All in all, it wasn’t quite so melodramatic. Must be a full moon that brings the drama out of me late at night. Pray for me though, I like living and I like all of my limbs intact and we’re going again tomorrow.

Bestest Ever! November 10, 2006
The Latest , 7 comments by Miss B, I love Jules, Serena, Steph, Nadia, and Tammy.There comes a time when you just can’t avoid being sentimental. That time, for me, is now. I want to wrap my extra-long arms around each one who wrote/chatted/called/blogged/sang/gave presents/made sushi/got PnP’s/hugged me for my birthday. You made the transition into geezerhood so much easier and I love you all for it. This really was the bestest birthday ever, I felt so loved.
Wonderful things happened on my birthday, and the day after; Jason ate off a paper plate especially in my honor, Mike sang “God save the queen”, my little sister got her whole singing team to sing for me over the phone….AND…..get this, the DMV finally sent me my license! God be praised! Can it get any better?
If you feel like sending some prayers my way, here’s some new year prayer requests:
1.) Just about every aspect of my discipleship. Call on lots of keys, rebuke all the demons, and summon legions of good spirits for me will you?
2.) That I will kill the demon of lethargy and exercise at least a couple of times a week. It’s gotten so bad that after working out today for the first time in months, I unwrapped a piece of gum and realized I was too exhausted to chew it.
3.) After you’re done with those two, if its not too much trouble…..could you…..maybe…..pray for this?
(I promise this is the last time I’m embarrassing David French. It was just too easy this time, I couldn’t help it. I do need to stop with the whole crush thing though or it’ll be waaaaaaay too awkward for me to even consider going to WordStock next year.)
Dude! November 5, 2006
The Latest , 7 comments by Sonia, CHUCK, and Crazy Italian.It’s like….the fifth of November. Dude! Remember remember…..
So uh….that’s about all I had to say. But uh….since I’m blogging anyway I’ll give you an update just for fun.
I’ve spent all day in my PJ’s. They’re striped and blue, which is my favorite color. I’ve eaten two bags of popcorn today and so has Angel. Angel and Michelle got me a cowboy hat for my birthday which is in three days, so feel free to send me prophecies or money or happy thoughts. Chuck ordered me something for my birthday which is going to make my praise time so much more quality. Between Chuck’s present and happy thoughts of a certain Frenchman, I’m covered for life. Thanks Chuck.
These Italians are crazy. Crazy is good. I’m very busy, which is good too. I have too many blessings that I can’t count them. I’m sitting a room with four-fifths of the orginial harem and I’m pretty happy about that. Angel is laughing an evil laugh, Michelle is removing nail polish and Chuck is uh….being herself.
Ooooh, Boo just came in. This is the original Harem right here, a historic moment that will never be repeated until Heaven, I imagine. I’ll ask them all to say something to my blog, just for fun.
Boo: I’d like to say, uh…..you guys are too cool and I love you to pieces.
Michelle: May the peace of the Lord be upon you, may His face shine upon you, and may His countenence look good on you.
Angel: I am a black person. Why not?
Chuck: I would like to say….what is a little bite on the butt between friends?
Jules: I like my hat!

Real life/true beauty November 4, 2006
The Latest , 4 comments by Paula and Charlock.There’s so much I want to say about this photo, I am confused as to where to start. On second thought, I’ll just leave it here and subject it to your interpretation. My personal interpretation? This is true beauty. It was taken by my good friend Chuck the Gazzipo, and modeled by someone who is beautiful on the inside and out.
