Ever since Reagan could talk Michele has convinced her that “camping” is “going somewhere that has room service”. Reagan really enjoyed “camping” last night in a place that had Pizza Hut on the room service menu… (Here she is in full “princess” mode)
Having a great time hanging out with the girls…Reagan wanted to swim (for about five minutes) …watched the American Idol Finale last night propped up on a million pillows in bed…I was actually really surprised at the results. I have been a David “C” fan all through the competition but I really thought David “A” would win because of the “cutesy factor”… Glad I was wrong.
Now it’s off to the conference for me and off to the Mall and Movies? for the girls…

In case you missed it Carly Smithson got voted off Idol last night. (recap) Brook White had to stop her song and start again when, as she admitted ,”completely lost the lyrics”. That means that “America voted” and chose someone who clearly messed up their performance, was genuinely humble, admitted her mistake and “started again”-over someone with a “slick” “smooth” and “perfect” performance that the judges raved about.
…just something to think about when we are tempted to fake our way through a “perfect Christian” “performance” of life in front of our friends and family…maybe they would rather see “genuine” and “real”, even “flawed” if we would be willing to apologize and “start over”…

I don’t want Thursday to become “rant about Idol day” but… If churches think it’s “OK not to be visibly “giving back” to the community and world because “we provide a service by meeting every Sunday.” Why does the most watched show in America dedicate an entire night to “giving back”? Is it for purely “charitable” reasons? Or do they also have research to show that “doing good is good for business”? If I had to guess I would say both reasons motivate them…
32 men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do…1 Chronicles 12:32
(I think we still need to “understand the times” in order to know “what to do”….)
