I saw this CD recently where the sleepytime worship creators took Third Day songs and made lullaby renditions of them.
It made me smile when the first song was "Cry to Jesus".
Sometimes "sleepy-time" only arrives after a time of "crying to Jesus".

SNA
Okay, so I missed the boat in naming our worship service something that could be used as a cool acronymn. Instead will still be referring to Sunday Night Alive as Sunday Night Alive and not SNA. See the image below, it included some of the print overlays, but get an idea.

Last time.....?;
For a city that doesn't celebrate many sporting success (see last major championship: 1983), when was the last time the 4 major sports teams all made the playoffs (and yes, I'm counting the Eagles making it, despite giving away a game to the Bears).
We've had (in recent memory) unparalleled success this calendar year by the Sixers, Phillies & Flyers. In reality, the Eagles used to be (and in many cases still are) the class of the city, as they've had the most success in the past decade.
Still need the Eagles to come throught, but this could be the start of a run like the Boston and New Yorks', and LA's have enjoyed.

Did you know...
This was a fun little fact I thought of the other night....of the 4 teams that have made the playoffs from the National League...the PHILLIES are the last team to appear in the world series, and that was in 1993. Dodgers won in '88, Brewers won '82, Phillies in '80, and well.....we know the history of the Cubs by now...even though they appeared in a World Series final in 1984, losing to those Steve Garvey led San Diego Padres.
How wild is that.... the Brewers haven't made the playoffs in 26 years. Someone did a run-down about what life was like back in 1982....let's just say that the Commodore was a main computer brand, and cell phones? text messages? Google?
There's a new tv show where a guy wakes up and it's 1973, and they do the whole "wheres my computer, where's my cell phone" angle. Interesting concept, since so much has changed in just 35 years.

Most wonderful time of the year
A lot of people will tell you that spring is the best time of the year, but I have a hard time arguing with fall.
The air is crisp, we've gotten over a humid summer (though not as much this year) and the perfect sports confluence of pro football, college football and playoff baseball all come together.
Speaking of playoff baseball. Crazy how things can change in a short period of time. In early September the Phillies were trailing the Mets and Brewers in both the division and wild card standings.
Now, they (with a win either today or tomorrow) can clinch their 2nd NL East championship and automatic playoff bid. I know, I know....they haven't done it yet, but even with 2 losses and 2 Met wins, they would play a tie-breaker on Monday, so it's hard to see them losing 3 times in a row, and the Mets winning 3 in a row (and yes, I hope I don't come to regret writing this).
Sports history is littered with teams that fail to live up to expectation, but it's hard to remember 2 back-to-back years like the Mets have had. Last year they had an historic collapse, this year they have given away 20+ games to a bad bullpen. Some of it's injury, but you got to think that all the players are uneasy when it's a tight game, and the bullpen is involved.
Every team goes through blown games (except the Phillies who are something like 42-0 when leading after the 8th inning.
Like last year, I hope to include the you-tube link of the final out, and proceeding celebration.
If anything, it gives a memory to access later over the cold winter months.

Google = 10
Wow, I saw recently that Google is celebrating it's 10 year anniversary.
It's crazy to think that 1) the word "google" wasn't in our vocabulary 10 years ago, and 2) how fast time flies.
I would have been finishing my first year of college, and the whole IT world was rapidly expanding/changing.
Tech stocks were doing well, things were on the upswing.
Speaking of the upswing, I read an article where the national deficit in 1979 was 1.5 trillion. As it turned out, President Bush added 1.5 trillion to the national deficit in the past year alone.
I won't claim to know how all this plays out in the end, but it's hard to see our kids, and our kid's kids getting many tax breaks in the future (refunds, yes....breaks....no).
