Beer... and other stuff
So last Friday a bunch of us decided to Granite City Food & Brewery. All I can say is WOW! I love this place. The food comes in huge portions, and of course they have A-Mazing beer! They only offer about 4-5 different beers, but it is so good. They even have this deal called the Mug Club. It's $20 for a lifetime membership, but then you get a 25 oz. beer free, 10% all food everytime you come in, and all other 25 oz. beers are only $3. For life! I've been a member since last Friday :)
We've been looking for a new washer and dryer ever since we moved into the townhouse. The set that came with the place are total junk. If you don't stop the washer at certain points then it will never drain, or move to the next cycle. You'd be lucky to get a load of laundry dry in 1 try with the dryer. We finally found a great deal on a new washer and dryer on Saturday. They delivered everything yesterday and now we have no more laundry troubles. It even means that I can do laundry without shrinking all of Elsa's clothes.
Sunday there was a special voters meeting at church. There was a screwup with the staff checks awhile back. The error was found right away and things were made right, but it made the budget a little screwy. So they had a meeting to try and correct things. Overall the meeting went better than I was expecting. No one's perfect and we all make mistakes sometimes, and in the end it all worked out.
Jon's Rant of the Day
I truly wish that some people would open their eyes to see how much Satan is attacking the church. He doesn't need to worry about anyone who doesn't believe in Christ. Instead he attacks those who are working to further the kingdom of God. The Lutheran Church (like many denominations) is dying. I have said on many occasions that the politics in government are far better than that of the church, and the past several months have continued to prove that to me. The infighting that happens is horrible to see. Especially when this fighting comes at the expense of tearing down the workers and volunteers of the church. Here are people who are pouring out their time and energy in service to Christ. I know that many of these workers (in a lot of congregations) agonize over what to do everyday. They create special lessons plans so that they can meet the kids/adults where they're at. They look at each child/adult as an individual and figure out the best way to reflect Christ's love to them. This is what Satan is afraid of! He doesn't want us to further the kingdom of God. Why do you think he's working so hard on us!
I just needed to get that off my chest. Time to get back to the grindstone. Adios!
