I love doing Coach

I have to do a show tonight at the Vaudeville Theatre for about 100 Lee University students. Its the Reunion Show and I play the coach, Coach Conroy, that everyone loves to hate at a fictitious high school reunion.
I am looking for humor to use as Lee is a Christen school and a Pentecostal one at that having affiliations with the Church of God of which I am proud to call myself a member. Since I have been part of a Pentecostal denomination I have noticed some of the best Pentecostal jokes come after a service and from members. Just spend some time around my wife's son Brandon who is a very funny guy. We joke about snakes, we don't use them but people think we do, speaking in tongues etc.

I found a top ten list I liked today

Top 10 signs that you are in the wrong church:
10. The church bus has gun racks.
9. The church staff consists of senior pastor, associate pastor and sociopastor.
8. The Bible they use is the Dr. Seuss version.
7. There is an ATM in the lobby.
6. The choir wears leather robes.
5. The worship services are B.Y.O.S. (bring your own snake).
4. There's no cover charge but communion is a two-drink minimum.
3. The pastor regularly attends meetings in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
2. The ushers ask, "Smoking or non-smoking?"
1. The Women's Quartet are all married to the pastor.

My wife's family has a lot of history with Lee as two of her children, Katrina and Brandon graduated from their and Katrina was a record setting volleyball player and has records that still stand. She was just inducted into the Lee Lettermen’s Club recently.


So I hope to have a great show tonight, I love this hobby and am glad my wife humors me and lets me be away to do these shows, this is an outlet for me


If you have not been to one you need to, Chris, the owner has a lot of specials and it is as affordable if not more so then eating out and going to the movies and you laugh a lot which is good for your health.
Pray a lot today, God loves to hear from you

My Grandson is here to visit, oh and his Dad also!

Carter Longobardi

Now that I am a grandpa, my son says I only want him to come to bring Carter my Grandson. Pam and I have got to be Grandparents all

weekend full time with both Isabella and Carter.
In my last post I mentioned the twins, Sophia and Amelia had to go back into the hospital due to some medications that had been prescribed and spent the weekend with their mother and father their being monitored. They are fine now but we had Isabella their older sister with us all weekend. She is a live wire and has more energy in her little finger then we do in our entire bodies. We had a great time and went shopping, watched TV, threw rocks in the creek and went to the parking lot carnival.

In the picture I uploaded you can see her coming in to strafe Pam below her plane.

We were also at the mall and she was demonstrating her balancing talents.

So we had a great weekend with a full house and lots of food and fun. So as how things start off bad in the beginning, in the end through faith in God and each other we turned it into a great weekend that ended with the twins and family coming home, a great church service and the other half of the family at our house for dinner. Praise God

Have I been doing it all wrong?

I saw something on the news this morning regarding blogging and use of twittering. It implied a blog might be more of an on-line journal. So I have been writing with readers in mind, which, I doubt I have. So now I just am going to write and post pictures and if anyone reads, so be it.

I have a great deal to journal, a divorce almost four years ago, being savaged by an biased and sexist judge, Marie L. Williams of the Third Circuit Court of Hamilton County in Chattanooga Tennessee. Trying to pay a high child support and wrong and outrageous alimony to an undeserving women, my home stolen from me along with many other possessions. All while trying to keep my income high enough to live myself and support my wife and myself.
I do have many more blessings then things to complain about, I have a great relationship with the Lord, a beautiful wife and lots of kids and grand kids both my own and through marriage to Pam. We have has some ups and downs, unemployment, lower paying jobs but in all I have been doing great and have much to be thankful for in the end. Every day my blessing outnumber any hardships. Those can be handled just by be living in God and having faith in his promises.

I can say that I don't think my ex-wife is as happy as I am! I have so much diversity in my life.
I have a part-time hobby job at the Vaudeville Cafe Murder Mystery Dinner shows in Chattanooga,TN. I play about four different roles in three plays and get to have a lot of improv comedy fun and meet a lot of people.
I have a great job as a programmer at TVA. I have a great church, The Ministry Center, in Hixson, TN. More friends and family than I think I have ever had, so I am very blessed.

So I have has the song says, taken back, with Gods help and blessing, what the devil stole from me, my devils are Marie Williams and my ex-wife but I still have to work hard to forgive them as I hope they can forgive me. I have a lot I can add on these subjects I want to journal in the future.

But I want to use this blog as first my own sounding board, what anyone else gains if anyone ever reads it, that will be great but it needs to be a daily thing to write and post here. I think it will do me the most good because I get it off my chest and then can let it go if it is a bad thing and remind myself of the good things.

So till tomorrow, God Bless You if you are reading this and God bless me and my enemies if I have any..................sure if?

The Twins are here

I have been way behind in my posting and need to catch up. Last Sunday the twins made their right on time and safe entry into the world. Both Mother and babies are in great shape. The girls are beautiful and healthy.

There was a complication with medication that caused the twins and their mom to go back in the hospital but all is fine now and they are back home.

What a weekend!!!!!!!!!

We, Pam and I had a great weekend. It was filled with all the important things in our life, God, Church, family, friends and some time with each other.

God is really moving in our church, The Ministry Center, Hixson, TN. Our pastor Jim Milligan is really building and sustaining the fire in our church with our recent revival with Tommie Zito Ministries and the continuing Sundays full of uplifting worship and lots of spirt-filled time in prayer, praying for each other and worshipping and thanking the Lord for his delivered and continuing blessings and just being the amazing awesome God he is for us even when we don't realize it. We are even starting a webcast on Sundays, that is in the works but coming soon.

We had family in from Alabama, Sandy and Chase who stayed with my in-laws but were able to come to my late show at the Vaudeville Cafe, in Chattanooga. We had two great shows on Saturday night, if you have never been then you need to go! We had packed out audience's for both shows and I hope that continues, we have a lot of specials running right now. I know I have a bunch of shows in April, one is even on the river boat, I am looking forward to that show.

Lastly I love the new and old contacts I am developing on Facebook, I have made contacts with all the people I know in my church, the Vaudeville Cafe, highschool, other places I worked and the military, my son, kid's I coached in baseball with my son but are adults now. It let's you keep up with and be involved with so many people, I just don't ever want to spend som much time on it I don't get out in "real" life.

Well that is enough rambeling for today! Have a good week, if anybody but me reads this?

This has been a great week

I can say that this has been a great week. My church, The Ministry Center, in Hixson, Tn has been having a revival. A Holy Interuption, this has been one of the most interesting revivals I have ever been to because of the evangelist, Tommy Zito, of Tommy Zito Ministries.org. This guy is great and so relevent to today and the problems of this country and this world.
The prayer and teaching has been great along with wonderful praise and worship but also the information regarding the problems and issues facing Christianity in the future and the United States and the people of this country has been very informative and insightful.
This has been a wake up call for me and I think many in our church.

7pm Wednesday: 10am and 7pm Thursday: 10am and 7pm Friday: 10am and 7pm Saturday: 10am Worship services nightly and teaching and Outreach every morning Tuesday through Saturday @ 10am

Service's will be going on for tne next four nights and the training Tommie is doing in witnessing and bringing God to the outside of the church, is going on in the morning for those days. The links I have on this page will take you to the schedules, I encorage anyone in the Chattanooga-Hixson area to attend if you can. And if you are looking for a great church you cannot beat The Ministry Center in Hixson.
