I Saw the Sign

Mission #1

Objective: Debra will watch and enjoy the movie signs.

Materials:
  • Signs VHS (Old School!)
  • VCR
  • TV
  • Popcorn
  • Other people so she does not have to watch it alone
Procedure:
  1. Mention the movie to Debra at Lifelight (CHECK!)
  2. Watch the movie again myself to make sure this is a viable mission. (In progress!)
  3. Mail Debra the VHS or Invite her over when she least expects it.
  4. Gather remaining materials.
  5. Prepare to be creeped out!
Conclusion: This movie is awesome, though it is not as good once you know how it ends. Even still, I am still sufficiently creeped out each time I watch it.

Soli Deo Gloria

Over one hundred thousand people attended Lifelight on Saturday alone. I was one of them. It had been a few years since I was last able to attend. Two years ago I was out of the country, and last year my dear friend from high school got married over Labor day. It was great to be back. things were a little different this year. Rather than have our goal be to touch the stage for the main concert, we took lawn chairs and found a good place to set up camp. It was very relaxing. I even stretched out on a blanket and took a nap on Sunday afternoon. My three favorite concerts were Matthew West, Sanctus Real, and Casting Crowns.

TLC - The Laughing Channel

I've found that I quite enjoy the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" on TLC. I watched a few episodes. While I was on the phone with a friend the next show came on. It features the Duggars, the family with 16 (maybe more) kids. They were on a vacation. The dad surprised the family with an airplane ride over the Grand Canyon. The flight attendant explained how to fasten the seatbelts and there was to be no smoking. The dad's narrating voice follows by saying, "You heard her kids, put away your stoagies." Yeah, what? Oh, my. Then Dad Duggar explained the next stop would be Las Vegas where the kids could sample the city of sin. Jim Bob, you are hilarious. (Or your script writers...)
