Hitler does emergent


(embedded video)

Some of you might have no clue what they’re talking about here. So as a brief background, Tony Jones recently stepped down as the National Coordinator for Emergent Village. After he stepped down, Josh Case (now part of the Nick and Josh Podcast) posted a video suggesting that as part of the idea and concepts behind Emergent Village and “crowd-sourcing” (my words, not his) anyone who takes part in Emergent Village should now be a National Coordinator (I would add that it’s very similar in idea to the fact that because of Christ, we’re all now part of the priesthood).

But regardless, while this is a slam against Emergent Village I’m going to say this is greatness. Very funny. The “Scrawny Kiwi” writes that Matt, who posted the video, said it was made by Randy Brandt.

If you don’t quite understand the above video, maybe you’ll get a kick out of an earlier version that came out after my beloved Cowboys lost to the New York Giants in the playoffs last year.

Thanksgiving day and beyond

Ok… so where was I?
Oh yes. We left for Laurie’s parents around noon yesterday and arrived around 1 for a great Thanksgiving meal with contributions from everyone.
Great turkey, stuffing, sweet potato pie, potato casserole, fruit salad, rolls and more.
I think Laurie had fun giving her mom a hard time because the two of us, her brother and her cousin ended up at the “kids table” while Jake and Brooklyn some how made it to the “adult table.” I guess things never change ;-).
After dinner I ended up wrestling with Jake and Brooklyn for a while as Jake tried to find his sock that “somehow” went missing.

As the Cowboys game kicked off we were brought into the living room to help judge an art contest for one of the local high schools.
The theme for the contest was, something to the effect of, “I can change the world by…”
Made for some interesting conversation and discussion.
We had to say our goodbyes around 5 so we could head to my parents house where we watched the rest of the Cowboys game and enjoyed some leftovers while playing Loaded Questions.
Afterwards we tried to get a good family photo but as you can see below, we didn’t have much luck staying focused on the task.
Laurie and I got home around 11 last night and had another great morning of sleeping in.
It’s a little after 1 and I’m still in my PJ’s and Laurie just started painting in the dining room again.
Guess I better get dressed and start pulling down those Christmas decorations and putting up the outside lights.
Should be a full afternoon and evening.

Cuban hopes Dallas still votes

Mark Cuban is hoping to stay in the race on Dancing with the Stars tonight, but I think he’s a little worried about the dance and his replacement hip and the fact that the Dallas Cowboys are playing on Monday Night Football tonight.
You can still vote for him, regardless of watching the Cowboys or not. 1-800-vote-411.
