Gray skies... Ahhhh.

2007-08-21

Good morning Boys and Girls.

I've been busy, till yesterday.

We've finally gotten a few days of rain around here and even now, it's looking pretty gray. Although it'll make work slow this week, man oh man, did we need it, so I'm not complaining.

Sure hope this hurricane Dean rushing through the Yucatan Peninsula doesn't take too many lives. They're saying it's larger and more powerful than Andrew back in '92 right now, and evidently making a bee-line for a lot of Mayan ruins and some huge oil fields. Doesn't sound good.

Seems like Shoutpost is having some of the same problems we had here with tBlog for a while. The messaging isn't working correctly and some of the pages are taking forever to load. Wonder what's up.

Having Jesus here last week was fun, though he was in a sort of a bad mood for him. He did say he was tired more than once while he was here, but I know he had to be in Australia for some meeting he wanted to attend by the 23rd. Maybe he'll write or call me and tell me more about it. Hope so. I didn't even drive him back to O'Hare in Chicago. He took the train from Grand Rapids. The weird thing was that he was just gone when I got home from playing golf late Saturday morning. He left a note, but I have no idea how he got to the train station.

I liked the last couple of lines of his note.

...and for goodness sakes, relax surrogate. If I can't get people to think, you don't have a chance. Just do what you do.

He'd been explaining earlier that the people he spoke to during his preaching years a couple of millennium ago had no trouble understanding him, because they were used to that style of speaking and story-telling, and knew when things were being said for effect and when people were talking literally, but that over the years all the hocus-pocus attributed to him has screwed things up. It's gotten in the way. "You know," he said to me, "I knew how to read and write myself. I suppose I could have written things down so they wouldn't get so screwed up in the recording and translating, but I had no idea they were going to turn me into something I wasn't."

It sure wears on him.

Be good to everyone.

Just heard that Dean's been downgraded to category three. Hope that bodes well.
