AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

I hate customer service people!

So often then not customer service jobs are sent overseas which means english is a second language and YOu have to talk to them like you are dealing with a freaking little kid!

Man, wendsday was a long day!!

So I got up at 4:50 am and was on the road by 5:30 for my 1:30 interview at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood. I was interviewing for a job at Rudy's Barbershop. First thing I did was hit starbucks and then I was on my way.

Grapvine was crazy foggy yesterday morning and I was actually in Hollywood by 10...So I was pretty early. Interview finally came and actaully went fairly well. I think it had to do with the fact I went in there with the attitude of "whatever is going to happen is going to happen." It would be cool but we will just see!

I will tell you that I should have planned the trip a little better so I could have actually did something other then drive down and back. I did find the Pertersen Museum and also went to the Kid Robot store. Spent a few bucks.

24/7....

"Ephesians 6:18 (New American Standard Bible)
18With all (A)prayer and petition (B)pray at all times (C)in the Spirit, and with this in view, (D)be on the alert with all (E)perseverance and (F)petition for all the saints..."

So here is my question...Is this concept of "pray without ceasing" to be taken litterally. As I am reading this book about the Boiler Room in Reading, England and I hear accounts of God doing things in places like BURN 24/7 I wonder if there is something to the idea of 24/7 payer within the body.

Is this movement the way for the mdern church to understand what prayer can do in people and communities....I am not sure really and I have asked several people the original question and the answer I get is "I don't know.

Any feedback is welcome...

Well it has happened!!

Our President has done it....I am not sure why I am so suprised but not only has he signed the executive order to shut down Gitmo without having a plan on what to do with detainees but he has as of today overturned a bill that was passed during Regan administration (Mexico City policy) that kept the Gov't from giving money to international family planning groups that promoted abortion as a population control option.

This bill was originally put into place in 1984 and overturned during the Clinton administration. It was reinstated during both president Bush presidencies and now again overturned by our new President.

If he is looking for a way to alienate conservatives pro-life voters.....this was the way to do it!!!

NOTU....announced

So it is official....Nation of the Underground 2009 July 23-26

I really want to go...last year did not happen and I was a bit disappointed. Maybe this year it will happen!!

Maybe I can a few shows to raise money to get to NOTU this year....Maybe I can some guys to go out with me.

Well here it is....first blog of 2009

I am not making any resolutions....I am just doing my best to be optimistic in 2009. I do not want to set goals that are unrealistic and I automatically set myself up for failure. This includes the way I live my life and the time I spend with God.

This sunday Pastor was talking about evangelism.....and this video is a perfect example of what real evangelism is.



I am going to be in Los Angeles for a few days at the end of January.....So looking forward to this trip...maybe something good will come out of it !

Christmas ain't the same without a bbq in the snow

Just sittin' and thinking about Christmas and what it means. There is so much to it....As a Christian I remember the birth of CHrist and what that means to me...and as well just Frankie I think about my friends, family and people that I miss.

We would hold a Christmas party back in spokane at the house...food, beer, snow and friends. Pretty much all were welcome and I miss that. All I can do is let my friends know they are all in my thoughts.

Last Christmas my dad was not home for the holiday and it was my first Christmas back....Dad will be home this year and that makes me happy. Beths mom is in England which made tonight a bit odd (oh yeah Notre Dame beat Hawaii today!!) for beth, the kids and Beths dad.

I guess what I am trying to say is this.....If you are not a Christian remember it's all about family, friends and loved one....if you are a Christian well it's about the same things plus remembering the birth of Christ.

This goes out to all my friends and family all over the country....God Bless you guys and have a great Christmas!!

Cheers
Frankie
