First up, my Obama funny:
My wife took this photo, as I drove past the Cincinnati Obama-Biden HQ located in Woodlawn. This was the second time this sign had been displayed, and the second time it had partially fallen. The sign stayed as it is above for 3 days. Sometime it’s the smallest things that say so much.
Friday night I got to reconnect with a Judson pal after discovering we lived near each other. Like me, he’s a Cubs fan, and I had 2 tix to Friday night’s game so we partook. Good thing he and I had a lot of catching up to do because the Cubbies lost in miserable fashion.
Saturday was sort of BLAH. We tried to go to AT&T to get the business’ iPhone set up, but didn’t have our tax ID on hand, so we just enjoyed a few hours with Garrett at the grandparents. We had a simple lunch out, then drove around our favorite neighborhood.
Today, Sunday, we awoke and frantically got prepared to head to the mid-day Cubs game here in Cincy, and then straight to house church afterward. Garrett was such a trooper during the game – he’s Mr. Extrovert… loves being out around his people. The Cubs lost in dramatic fashion, and I realized that they lost the only game I saw them play last September here, too. So no more September Cubs games for me.
House church was interesting as always. Topics covered: Sex, marriage, politics, racism, and homosexuality. Among other things. Admittedly, I think we could have used some discipline in our discussion, but it’s part of the process. I think we need a few gatherings that create a hunger for discipline. It was good nonetheless, though. I love these people more each time we gather, and do not take these budding friendships for granted at all.
McCain/Palin and the Obama’s will be nearby this week: Cincy (Michelle), Lebennon (McCain/Palin), and Dayton (Barak).
It has been suggested, and maybe even proven, that the last presidental election came down to the county I live in – or at least the region I live in. Ohio hung in the balance, and Southwest Ohio is considered “ground zero” for many politicians. Whereas Columbus and Cleveland may be more national appeal in terms of media play, Cincinnati has the most weight of the state in terms of national elections. I look for many more appearances by the candidates. I will be passing by Lebennon on Tuesday so I might just have to drift over to catch a little McCain/Palin.
