Odds and Ends

Bob FranquizUncategorized

– My daughter is getting cuter by the day. I can’t wait to bring her to church on Sunday. Everyone is looking forward to seeing her and Carey. – My voice still isn’t 100%. I’m feeling OK, but not my normal “Bruce Willis in Unbreakable’ self. I need to get well before Sunday. – Chris has 2 posts that echo what I’ve been thinking lately (post 1) (post 2) – Bryon’s post on relevance is great. Plus, you’ve got to love the stash! I wish I had Oz Fox’s hair 🙂 – MMI had a great article on why Christians … Read More

Idol Thoughts

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Seriously, is it fair to have a Diana Ross night on American Idol and then tell the guys you didn’t like how they sang? Do the show’s producers even take into consideration the fact that most girls can’t even hit her range, such less most guys? I’d like to them have a Metallica night to even out the playing field a bit. (Not that this changes the fact that the guys aren’t very good this year) That’s why having the finalists pick within a genre is better than being stuck inside of one artist’s catalog of songs.

What’s on my Mind on Sunday Evening…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

#1 – I love my daughter. She is too cute! #2 – “The Rest of God” is a fantastic book. It’s making me rethink everything. #3 – I’m going back to work on Tuesday. I can’t believe my vacation is over. #4 – I just bought Accordance Bible software. It’s amazing! #5 – I can’t wait to teach next Sunday! I’m ready to get back in the saddle. #6 – Next Sunday (2/25), we’re starting a new series called “Illusions”. It’s going to be a marriage series and we are going to promote the heck out of it. If you … Read More

A Thought on Competitive Eating…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

While I am a fan of competitive eating, one thing I have never done is eat while watching competitive eating. Why? I don’t know. Maybe I’ll put this down as a 2007 goal…

Happy Belated Festivus!

How did December 23rd pass us by without us wishing one another a happy Festivus? I suppose this would serve as part of the “Airing of the grievances”… So happy Festivus for the rest of us!

A Few Thoughts: – I love Scott’s post about how horrible the word “Neat” is. The word must be destroyed! – This game is absolutely awesome! It’s the kind of game the cast of The Office would come up with. – I played bass in our worship band on Sunday night. That was fun. It’s been a while. What’s funny is I talk about being in a band all the time (I had a record deal for crying out loud!) and yet people are still shocked that I know how to play an instrument. (No Milli Vanilli going on here) … Read More

For Those with too much time on their hands…

My buddy Chris linked to something amazing. You can get a call from the “Assistant to the Regional Manager” from Dunder-Mifflin in Scranton, PA! That’s right! Dwight Schrute, from The office will call your phone and harass you at random when you’ve got nothing better to do. I think I’m going to put my friends’ phone numbers in the box and have Dwight call them. Here’s the link. (By the way, if you aren’t watching “The Office”, you’re only living 1/2 a life. This is the greatest work of comedic genius since Seinfeld first came out.)

Stuff I’m Thinking on Friday

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Here’s a few things I’m thinking about today… #1 – I’m moving my books to the office. A total mission. I’ve got to clear out a room in the house for our new arrival. Carey says that the baby has no need for commentaries before he or she is two. I reluctantly agreed. You’ve got to instill the reading discipline early. #2 – I’m TiVoing Que Pasa Usa? and it’s helping Carey learn more Spanish. If you’re not familiar with this show, it’s like the Cuban version of Good Times. If you want to understand the city of Miami, this … Read More

3 Thoughts for your Thursday

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Here’s a few things I’m thinking about: #1 – I’m excited about teaching at Ridge Stone Church (Home of the Legendary Gary Lamb) on July 16th. These guys are blowin’ up in Canton and I’m hoping to drink some of the cool-aid while I’m there! #2 – I’m hooked on a new show: America’s Got Talent. This show is totally lame, but it has me mesmerized. And my TiVo recommended it, so how can I say no. Also, I missed all of House last season and now I’m catching up. Which brings up a question, “Why do we love shows … Read More

Several things swimming my head today. Here they are… #1 – I saw Nacho Libro on Monday. I was kind of disappointed. I think it was the director. It couldn’t be Jack Black. Why? Because Jack Black is one of the funniest people on the planet. #2 – I have listened to the new John Mayer song at least 150 times since his started streaming it from his website. #3 – I’m loving teaching our new series “crash.” We’re going through the book of Daniel. Its’ been fun. #4 – EVen though I didn’t love Nacho Libre, I have been … Read More
