Today was a great day.  I couldn’t fall asleep until 5 or so and I had to get up at 9:30 so my day didn’t start the best.  I didn’t know if I could make it through the day and getting to church was interesting.  I think I remember stumbling out of my car when I got there, lol.

The message was fantastic and Pastor Billy really rocked it up there on stage.  I was right in the front row under him staring up so when he yelled the sound waves put vibrations in the bible I had in my hand (not kidding).  I think Pastor being loud is what I love about him so much.  I can understand why someone would want to yell when preaching the Word, especially when it comes to truth that’s been twisted.  Today he made several references to the state of the American Church and their belief in the fluffy Jesus with the birds and bunnies following him around in the spirit of a Disney movie, and that perfect white smile that you always see.  Yelling was a good thing to be doing when rebuking that kind of thinking.  I wish I remembered the wrath of God when I sin, because it would make me crap myself.  People just don’t get it, lol.  It’s not anger and rage in the context we’re used to here on earth.  This is the creator of the universe people, not your dad.  If there was ever a person to be afraid of with your whole being, it’s him.

Afterwards I went to lunch with friends and we sat in this restaurant for 25 minutes without seeing our waitress once.  We got menus then never saw her again.  Eventually we just got up and went next door.  What crappy service :/  We landed at the Brickyard and just chatted about things on and off while watching a Yankees game.  The food was great as usual from that place, my favorite.  I had a chicken salad and it was awesome.

After that I went home to change and headed out to a party for Vintage folks.  It wasn’t something I had planned to do but after being in church I had a new energy for the day, despite my lack of sleep.  The party was fun although I felt a little uncomfortable.  I’ll be honest I hate wearing just a t-shirt.  I’m not really satisfied with my weight yet to not care.  I even fit into 34 waist swim trunks today, which is about 4 inches smaller than the jeans I wore initially before I changed.  I’ve been needing a belt every day, because all the new jeans I bought aren’t fitting.  Even my legs themselves are thinner so the jeans feel a bit baggy to me.  It’s crazy what can happen in a month, and yea that’s all it’s been.  Hopefully I’ll get to like 195 in the next month, that would be fantastic.

They had food, volleyball, can jam, a dunk tank, etc.  I played volleyball almost the entire time so my body is pretty tired.  It was on a sand court in Eric Barton’s backyard so that was cool although the sand was a little wet.  The people I played with were great and I can’t even remember half their names.  It seems I meet too many folks every week to retain all the info, ha ha.  Either way it was a great time and I headed home somewhere around 8pm or so.  The drive home was pretty quite and with it being about 75 outside, the windows were down.  I love driving in that weather, it’s great.

I also have the full screenplay for The Grace Card that I have to read tomorrow.  We’ve also casted our lead role as of today.  Michael Joiner will be playing the role of Mac.  I’ve had some great conversations with him and I’m very confident in his ability to pull off the kind of performance needed.  More on that in the future.  This friday I fly out to Memphis to meet everyone, it’s going to be great!

Overall a fantastic day, and tomorrow Rob comes over to redo a line or two of ADR that didn’t work quite right the first time around.  Speaking of which I have to go to bed.  G’night folks!
