I find it funny that you guys are talking the seven sins. Our pastor is starting a summer series based of this book:

She's a Philosophy major from Notre Dame, so she has had great access to Catholic historical perspective. Being a non Catholic, I am curious to see how our pastor will apply scripture to her book. None of the reviews of her book have mentioned the Bible yet. They have mentioned some interesting historical works though.

Ugh, I just posted in a Hoiberg thread. I feel so dirty. But I don't get all the "he's waiting until the kids are done with school" talk. Like Monday at 2:30 the UHaul is picking them up from school and they will never return to Ames. All three boys play on AAU teams with tournaments through July. "Kids, Daddy's taking a new job. We leave as soon as school is done. Forget about playing basketball this summer with the teams you've played on for the last four year. We're done here."
He should really go with Ryder. The brakes in U-hauls suuuuuuck. (experience speaking)
I have noticed some nasty bits. Luckily for me most of the bigger problems I have noticed have been going the opposite way as I am. 610 Eastbound in the afternoon has been just crazy stupid. I shudder to think what that is going to be like when they finish the connection to 94 in Maple Grove.
I have ISU Fights as my ringtone. At times like these, I feel like my phone is mocking me.
I ate at IHOP Sunday for the first time in a long time. I think I could just drink that butter pecan syrup straight up, it may relieve the Cyclone depression.
CyBirdy, whoever that was in the Hoiberg thread was just an arse to you. The only time we moved our kids, we did it after summer so they got one last fling with their friends and could enjoy their summer activities.
I really feel for Jack Hoiberg the most. Depending on the school they put him in, he could go from up and coming high school basketball star to not even making the team even though he is the son of the Bulls' coach.

My commute is 15 minutes rain or shine, traffic or no traffic.
However, trying to go to Nokomis yesterday @ 5 took about an hour when it usually takes 30 minutes.
As a catholic...this is the one thing that drives me INSANE about so much catholic stuff...it's like...hey, this is actually covered very well in the bible, maybe set aside "pope so-and-so said this" and actually use the word that you claim is God's word, but never seem to use outside of the weekly mass readings.
It isn't just a Catholic fault either. I've read other books both religious or not and have seen many people list a reference and have looked up to see that it wasn't even in context let alone applicable. Ugh.
There was one book Erik was reading that just listed a page of references, but the author never explained why they supported the idea.
Also as a Catholic, I think people underestimate how much of the music, especially the more modern music, it just about straight out of the Bible. I was singing at Mass a few weeks ago and didn't open the missal and my son asked how I had the whole thing memorized. Pointed out to him the whole song was pretty much straight out of a favorite passage in Psalms. I am very much a fan of some of the newer music for this reason, but our current priest likes the old songs that remind me of a funeral dirge.
HAHAHAAAA!!!! this reminds me, I actually quit singing a song one time...at St.A, my favorite song for end of mass was "lord of the dance" since it was so joyful and upbeat. Went to our current church, and was all excited when they announced it would be the end of mass song...except it was "daaannnncee.....then.....wherever...you....may...beeeee...." Seriously, it sounded like a funeral song. I shut the songbook and went silent. Mrs. looked at me and said "But that's your favorite song". I responded "yes, when it's not depressing"
Although...I have to tell myself to be kind of be forgiving, I think the gal who does the piano/organ isn't really that good, and I think they keep everything fairly slow for her.
We have the most awful song leaders at the moment but at least they are willing to do it. Had a great one and they moved. Hit and miss, when one of the high school teachers is around, she is great.
I love that song. I can't even imagine it slow. That's....*shivers*
There are only two things I might dislike about newer songs. 1. How loud they might be played (my ears have hurt before) 2. Is it really a song the congregation can sing.
