Penn Jillette

This is a video of Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame) telling about a man who gave him a Bible after one of his shows. I've seen Penn talk about being an atheist before so this video was a little surprising and even more, thought provoking; especially when Penn asks the question, "How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize?"

Around the Blogosphere

A number of the blogs I read have had some great posts recently. It sort of puts the top 10 lists I have been writing to shame.

Here's a sampling.

• Becky wrote a very cool post about The Impact of a Raised Hand.
  
• Derry offers a breath of political-blogging fresh air in this post. I'm breathing deep.
• In Parenting Doubts, Joe ponders a number of relevant questions concerning his role as a dad.

Good stuff all around!

The Top 10 BEST Movies I Have Ever Seen

This is NOT a list of my favorite ten movies. For that list, see yesterday's post.

This is a list of the 10 movies that I think are the best, ones that I think had excellent story lines, plot twists, visuals, cinematography, sound, acting, music, etc.

10. Groundhog Day
9. Grease
8. Green Mile
7. Braveheart
6. Dances with Wolves
5. Fargo
4. Saving Private Ryan
3. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Forrest Gump
1. Shawshank Redemption

Only two of these movies made yesterday's list of favorites.

My Top 10 Favorite Movies of All Time

This was harder than I thought it would be. I have this rather odd list (which will be blogged about someday) that I thought would make this easy. It was tough to narrow it down though. After I had it narrowed down to ten, it was also difficult to rank them. I like all of these movies very well, but for different reasons. That made it tough to rank them. The only easy one was movie number #1. I knew it would be there.

This is not a list of the ten movies that I think are the "best." I think that list would look quite a bit different. This is simply a list of my favorites. And some of them I have not seen in quite a while, so I am going by how well I remember liking them.

10. Lucas

9. E.T.

8. Can't Buy Me Love

7. The Notebook

6. Fargo

5. Stand By Me

4. Lassie (2006)

3. Back to the Future

2. Sixteen Candles

1. Shawshank Redemption

My Top 10 Favorite Video Games of All Time

I'm doing a series of top 10s. Here is the first one.

My Top 10 Favorite Video Games of All Time:

10. NBA Live ’95 - PC

9. Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix - XBOX (This is the one that got me hooked on DDR.)

8. Super Mario Galaxy – Wii

7. Tetris Worlds - XBOX (I love games that Kristi and I enjoy playing together.)

6. 10 Yard Fight - NES (Brent Warren and I used to play a version of the game in which you were not allowed to pass. Almost every game was a close, intense battle that revolved around precise strategy and clock management. Great memories.)

5. Techmo Bowl - NES

4. Crash Team Racing - Playstation (Kristi and I had a lot of fun playing this one together too. It's also a lot of fun trying to beat your own ghost.)

3. Grand Theft Auto III – Playstation 2 (I had heard a lot of evil things about these titles. I didn't think I would like it at all. It happened to come with the used PS2 that we bought to play DDR on. I tried it and quickly discovered just how much fun it is to drive a car like a mad man and flee from the police - in a virtual world. It's an amazingly fun game with actually much less foul language and graphic violence than your usual major motion picture action flick.)

2. Super Mario Bros. - NES

1. Mech Assault – XBOX (Playing this online on XBOX Live is the greatest gaming experience of my life. It's amazing. I want to buy it again.)

Have You Or Haven't You - Updates

11. Bungee jumped
I haven't, but Kristi and I went on the SkyCoaster at Indiana Beach. Kristi said that it was about like bungee jumping. It was fun, but it definitely doesn't count as bungee jumping.

70. Found out something significant that your ancestors did
My mom commented that the famous singer we are related to was Jenny Lind, known as the "Sweedish Song Bird." I guess that's even better than being related to the lady from the "It ain't over. . ." phrase.

Where Are They?

I understand how foreclosures, the recession, housing price bubble and risky loan practices have caused housing prices across the nation to slide dramatically.

I do not understand this story from USA Today which begins, "A record 1 in 9 U.S. homes are vacant."

The article indicates that houses are vacant because of the recession. So, where are the people who would have lived in all these empty houses - had the economy been strong?

The Weekend

We (Kylee, Makenna and I) took Jamie's family to Indianapolis on Saturday. I had been missing Jamie. It was great to spend some time with him and his family this past week. I wish it would have been under happier circumstances though.

I forgot to take the camera, but Deb did snap this picture of the kids in the back of the van. They seemed to really enjoy the drive. We didn't hear a complaint the whole way there, just a lot of playing and giggling.

Deb iPhoned this picture to me.

We stopped at Moe's for burritos in Carmel before dropping the Prenkerts off at the airport, where their van was parked.

Heading north on 465, Makenna said, "INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY!" I said, "Yeah, you can visit it." Pause. "Do you want to?" "YEAH!" So I made a quick exit and we headed toward the Speedway.

I thought it might be fun just to drive under the tunnel and take a look at the track, then head on north. The girls, however, were already scoping out the museum signs and asked if we could go in. I was afraid admission might be $15 or $20 each. Much to our surprise, admission to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum is $3 for adults and $1 for children. We bought tickets for the museum as well as tickets for a track tour, which were also $3 and $1.

The tour was fun. A bus took us right on the track. We did one loop, listening to track history as we rode.

The museum was nice as well. We watched a video that detailed the history of the Motor Speedway. Mostly though, the museum is a collection of Indy 500 winning cars. Probably close to half of the winning cars were on display, dating back to the first race in 1911.

All three of us enjoyed our visit. The $10 total price was a bargain!

I spotted a guy with an iPhone
and asked him if he would snap
a picture and e-mail it to me.

After the museum we drove to Kokomo, where we spent the night at the Courtyard by Marriott.

• We swam four times. (It would have been three times, but Makenna threw-up in the pool bathroom (almost in the pool,) so we had to go up to the room so she could get cleaned up - then we went back.)
  
• I got plenty of use out of the hotel's free wi-fi on my iPod Touch.
• I wish my iPod had a built in camera.
  
• While trying to decide where to eat supper, Kylee spotted a sign at a McDonald's that said "Free Hot Chocolate on Feb. 14." We went in and ordered three cups - nothing else.
  
• We ate supper at Cracker Barrel. It's not my favorite place, but it was good and cheap. The girls loved their pancakes - WAY cheaper than IHOP.
  
• After supper we went to another McDonald's (one with a really busy drive-through with only three employees working) and ordered three more free cups of hot chocolate - and nothing else.
  
• The hotel reservation came with a free in-room movie, but we did not have time to watch one, which would have been Madagascar 2.
  
• The breakfast (which is not usually free) was included in the deal and was really good.
• I usually use hotwire.com or priceline.com to book hotel rooms. I booked this room directly through the hotel. The deal was $69, which is more than I usually pay for a similar grade hotel, but the free breakfast made it worth it.
• The hotel was busy - lots of kids.
• We ate lunch at Qdoba.
• We walked both Kokomo malls.
• All three of us were exhausted when we got home.
  

Tendinitis

I've never had any trouble with my knees. . . until now. I started having some pain in my right knee in December, especially when doing aerobics. About a month later, I decided I should have a doctor take a look at it. The diagnosis was tendinitis. He said to rest it for ten days, ice it every day and take Aleve.

That was ten days ago and it has been feeling fine the past few days. So, I decided to try to run a slow mile tonight. I could feel the knee pain coming back. I think I am going to have to rest it quite a bit longer - frustrating!

It figures that I had just put the Nike Plus widget on the side of my blog. Now, while I further rest my knee, the widget will continually mock me.

"You've turned into a couch potato."
"You're stuck in a rut."

Soon, I'll probably start hearing:

• "Got Wii?"
• "I blog AND run, do you?"
• "It's a good thing you bought that new running GPS!"

A Good Man

I am going to miss my friend, Kip Prenkert, who passed away on Sunday. Kip's son, Jamie, has been one of the greatest friends with whom my life has been blessed.

Shortly before I met Jamie, Kip was Mr. Prenkert to me. He was one of my English teachers in high school, and certainly played a roll in taking me from the simple writing style found in my 1980s journal entries to the at least capable writer that I am today.

After high school, Kip and his wife, Jeanette, led the Wednesday night "college and careers" group at the church I attended. I honestly don't remember a single thing Kip and Jeanette taught me in that group, but what I do recall is the heart for following Christ that they both demonstrated.

The past ten years or so, I enjoyed how Kip has kept me up to date with the happenings in Jamie's life. His stories about Bethel basketball were a joy to listen to, mostly because of the passion and enthusiasm with which he told them. Most of all though, I enjoyed Kip's humble, cheerful, peaceful demeanor.

As a customer of my small web-hosting business, I helped Kip learn how to maintain the web site for Jeanette's Fabric Boutique. Kip was a quick learner and not afraid to take on this new challenge. I'm positive that Kip picked up web design much quicker than I caught on to 10th grade English.

As a way to save some time (and a stamp) I generally e-mail invoices to my web hosting customers. My invoices to Kip have occasionally become lost in Cyberspace between my computer and Kip's printer. Saturday, this occasional glitch gave me one last new bit of joy from Kip's life.

I am sometimes a little slow to check my business post office box, and also a little slow to get my deposits around to take to the bank.

Last Friday I was saddened to learn that Kip had been in an accident. As my concern for Kip grew on Saturday afternoon, I decided to get caught up on some business bookwork. When I opened the check from Jeanette's, a memo fell out of the envelope. It was from Kip.

You may want to read this post I wrote about Jamie before you read the following part of Kip's memo:

Also, you might be interested to know that someone told us about your post regarding the infamous late night Trivial Pursuit game, so we went online and read the post and Jamie's comments. Actually Jeanette and I don't remember the incident, but I think the statute of limitations has long since run out so you're probably safe. We gave Jamie a hard time about it when he and Debbie were home for Christmas and he just laughed.

Have a good day,

Kip

I will be keeping the memo. Thanks Kip. I will miss you.

What I'm Reading to Kylee and Makenna - The Organic God

I posted a little over a month ago about reading The Organic God by Margaret Feinberg to Kylee and Makenna. We're still reading it and still enjoying it. We are on chapter 7, out of 10.

A few weeks back, I read this passage to them (which takes place on an airplane,)

"So where are you going?" I asked.

"I'm going to get my daughters," he replied.

His sobriety and seriousness was striking. My interest was piqued by the sense of urgency that surrounded him. I gently asked him to explain. After his divorce, his ex-wife took custody of his girls. She had recently become unable to care for them, and the situation had become abusive. He was on a mission to save and protect his children.

I sat in silence. An uninvited thought popped into my mind. You need to pray with him.

The thought was fueled by a surge of energy. I knew it was God-thought.

But I didn't respond. . . .

Reading this passage was déjà vuish, because the same thing had happened to me. Right away, I told Kylee and Makenna about my similar experience. They were along when it happened.

We were at Home Depot in Mishawaka late one night in fall of 2005. Other than us, the store was almost completely empty. We pushed our cart to the check out at the lumber-end of the store. The clerk was on the phone and it quickly became clear that her conversation was disturbing. We waited (and couldn't help but listen) for maybe a minute. When she got off the phone, she looked distressed and said something about being sorry and how it had been a rough evening. She even offered a vague detail about the problem she was going through.

I felt the surge of energy. I heard the uninvited thought, "Ask her if you can pray for her."

I ignored it. I ignored the voice of God.

The clerk crosses my mind from time to time. I wonder, did my disobedience cause her additional hardship or worse, hinder her journey toward having a relationship with the Living God?

I guess I can take comfort in Margaret Feinberg's later words, "More and more I'm learning that recognizing God's voice is a process complete with highs and lows, successes and mistakes."

I might add, "and obeying" after the word 'recognizing.'

My blog offers a clue that listening for God's voice is something I am intrigued by, I've mentioned it in at least four other blog posts now.

What I'm Reading to My Class - Wayside School

I am in the middle of reading the Wayside School trilogy to my second grade class. I love these books. Out of all the chapter books I have read aloud to second graders over my fourteen year teaching career, the Wayside School books are the most fun. This year, there is one boy in my class in particular who has not paid very much attention to the chapter books I have read, but I can hear him laughing at every outrageous event that happens at Wayside School. The three books in the series by Louis Sachar are:

• Wayside Stories from Wayside School
• Wayside School is Falling Down
• Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger

All three books are a riot, but Wayside School is Falling Down is my favorite. Chapters 6, 9, 10 and 26 are especially fun. Chapter 9 is incredibly fun to read to second graders. There is a surprise in it, a "mushroom surprise" that is so shocking (to second graders) and funny that by the end of the chapter they are laughing so hard that they can barely even hear me reading anymore. It's a great time, and I think gives kids a huge glimpse of how much fun books can be.

The Wayside School books are terrific read alouds that most any school-age child would enjoy. I would recommend them for parents to read to their children, but since the stories are set in a school and much of the plot revolves around the interaction between students, their teacher and other school staff, they are especially fun to be read aloud at school. For this reason, I am planning on holding off on reading these books to my daughters for a few years, in hopes that one of their teachers will treat their class with these hilarious books.

Never read 'em? You're missing out! Read 'em!

Eight Years of a Whispered Phrase

Today is Kylee and Makenna's eighth birthday. My, how I love those girls.

I have this phrase that I have been whispering to each of my girls since they were born, and oh it is so true that "you are just the kind of kid I always wanted."

Threes From Other People

I didn't think anyone would post Threes about themselves after reading mine, but three people did.

• Derry's Threes
• Shelley's Threes
• Tia's Threes
