Shoot Your TV; Read Comics

Being the oldest sibling sucks sometimes. Or maybe it's being the oldest female sibling that's the problem.. regardless, I find myself worrying about my younger siblings when I really shouldn't. They're all technically adults, and can pretty much fend for themselves. But that's not helping me sleep any better.

Can I just say my weekend rocked? Saturday evening I drove up to Deidre and Jarod's in Whittier. Man, I miss Deidre being around all the time. I feel like we've only started to really openly share with each other in the last couple of years, and it makes me sad that she lives further north now. Her husband, Jarod, is quite possibly one of the most rad men on the planet (watch out for the hookers!). It was such a blessing to get to spend time with them. Today, first thing in the morning, I drove further north to Granada Hills to hang out with Dan's friend Jeff. His church is awesome.. I wish I lived further north.. I'd go every Sunday. We had a fun lunch at the Grove and I was finally able to spend some time getting to know him. He and Dan go WAY back.. like from junior high school (and they're in their early 30's so that was a long time ago.. ha ha). Jeff is now one of my most favorite people in the world.

I just finished the book "House" by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. It scared me pretty bad. I'm such a chicken. Spiritual warfare freaks me out.. even if the book is fiction.

Driving on the freeway is terrifying. Especially the 5. Especially when the little red car four cars ahead of you spins out of control and ends up facing the wrong direction and you have to swerve into another lane without looking. Bah.

My title for today's blog comes straight from the comic book company Lost in the Dark Press.. which just happens to be run by not only Jeff, but another one of Dan's friends, Steve. The company is in my top friends on Myspace. You should check them out. Their work is brilliant. No, seriously, go NOW.

Oooh - that's right - Frank Peretti... I need to go look him up, that book sounds good.

I had a blast Sunday morning/afternoon! Thank you for the visit - now I need to return the favor!

Hey Amber, I was frustrated trying to help a customer with their TV, so I did a Google image search for "shoot your TV" and your blog came up! LOL Hope you're having a good weekend... Joe
