Undercover Sox Fan Survives Mission!

As many of you know (from past bragging), my brother is the MLB.com beat writer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Well, tonight was his first time in Chicago covering an enemy team, and from a different country at that!! (How did Canada even get into the All-American sport of baseball?!) Yes, it was the World Series CHAMPION (blogged here) Chicago White Sox against the Foreigners, aka, the Toronto Blue Jays. I was bummed to miss our Good Friday Service, but I really wanted to support my brother and be there for his first Chicago game as an MLB.com writer… and what better way to support this die hard Chicago fan than to show up dressed to the hilt as a Blue Jays fan?!??! (thanks to someone at church who loaned me the gear) My sister Melissa tried not to walked tooooo close to me as I entered Sox territory dressed as a Blue Jays fan! I was very curious what the reaction would be from the Sox fans to my shirt, jacket and waving flag! Here I am in my Blue Jays disguise! I really look the part, huh? I had people singing ‘Oh Canada’ when I walked by, but…

This Old Church – Part 4: ICE AGE 2

All done for the week….. and exhausted. Spring Break is over. Though, I’m not sure there was a whole lot of ‘break’ in it, but we did take time this evening for a much needed break and went and saw ICE AGE 2! Kelly, our preschool director at her post! My sister Melissa came to paint today… along with Tricia… and Parker. had lunch with a movie star! (among others) and then it was off to see ICE AGE 2. ICE AGE (1) is my favorite animated movie so I have been very much looking forward to ICE AGE 2… I’ve seen the trailor a zillion times. While I’m disappointed that there was at least one profanity that I caught and a little bit tacky humor about a donkey’s other name… overall it was fun, hysterical even. Of course, my favorite scenes are ANY scenes with Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel with nothing but bad luck in his quest for the elusive acorn. They are so well done and never fail to cause a laugh! You just love to feel this guy’s pain as he keeps tryin’ for that acorn! Parents will want to correct a few minor things, but in…

Signs of Spring…

Figures… plan a project to be indoor all day all week, and the weather will be beautiful! There are lots of signs of Spring…. like graffiti! Yes, I came outside in the dark after painting all day and found my car had been vandalized by the youth of the church. Though, you can’t really complain about having “I love Pastor Karl” spralled across your window! Another view of the artwork… Not visible in the glare is an Apple Mac apple. :-) That’s right! It’s a PK Cruiser! (not pt) So it was off to the car wash to get my car all cleaned at my local BP gas station. I was curious if the auto car wash could get the lettering off… It tried really hard, but I still had to hand wash the windows afterward. This was cool, you could read the “PK Cruiser” in the rear view mirror. It is, of course, reversed on the back window reading from the inside, but reversed again when read in the mirror, so what you are actually seeing is double-reversed. I know, I am easily amused! Back to “Signs of Spring.” On my drive in this morning, I had to stop…

This Old Church – Part 3: No Going Back Now!

Well, there is no going back now! The walls have been touched with paint, something they have been needing for a very long time. Now that I see how much it improves the atmosphere, even in the earlier stages, I am feeling bad that I didn’t start this sooner! We are actually doing TWO major projects at the same time, but all in the hallways. The preschool wing is getting a blue base color, but will be mostly covered with murals as we create a Spring garden that is inviting to preschoolers. (Especially in winter!) The blue that remains after the murals will be the sky. The difference is amazing! The current paint job on the walls and doors in the children’s ministry wing hasn’t been touched up in at least eight years (when I started working here) and was actually kinda gross in many places if you bothered to look closely. Amazing how blind we become when a place we love becomes ‘home.’ Hopefully, our new look will make it more inviting for others to make this their church home. Kelly green? (Our preschool director, Kelly, dressed to match the project!) The door and window frames are being done…

This Old Church – Part 2: Teen Mania

Today was a great day! WOW! “This Old Church” (a new series here on kidologist.com) got into full swing! Our high school ministry is having an ‘at home retreat’ this week, meaning they are using their Spring Break to serve around home, instead of going somewhere. So I was given around twenty teens for today – the day we kicked off our preschool remodeling project. You know the old saying, “Too many cooks in the kitchen?” Well, at times it felt like “too many teens in the hallway” but boy oh boy did they get a lot done! We got everything off all the walls where the painting will be done. Good thing the senior pastor is outta town! :-) It’s fun to work with teens that I had in Kids Church when they were little kids. I did a little diggin’ on my laptop and managed to find a few. See if you can tell which of the girls above this is: (now painting the same wall!) OR TRY THIS ONE: AND which of these guys grew up from this little boy: Too hard? OK, I’ll give ya an easier one: Which of the people in the above picture…
