While Jen and I were watching the McCain/Palin Rally, she noticed something that I couldn’t put my finger on… See if you can see the resemblance:

Yup, our new VP could be a Tina Fey look-a-like, and that can’t be a bad thing! As huge SNL fans, and I myself a closet 30 Rock fan, it will be interesting to see how this major development affects the campaign!

For more fun, check out John’s post on Obama’s running mate’s look alike.

Yup, as a gift to my wife for our 8th anniversary, I’m going to go cold turkey. We’re going to be spending the next 3 days together, just ourselves. Love you Jen - you are the best thing ever!

Blogs I’m Reading

Here’s some new (to me) blogs & some not so new (to me) blogs that I’m reading. If you’re like me and just like to get fresh, new perspective, spend some time checking ‘em out - it’ll be worth it.

A news update on the Michael Guglielmucci / Healer saga (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3):

ANGRY Christians have condemned disgraced pastor Michael Guglielmucci’s cancer hoax as the ultimate act of betrayal – and they want their money back.

His lawyer revealed yesterday that the inspirational preacher was receiving psychiatric help after confessing to faking a two-year battle with terminal cancer.Lawyer Matthew Selley told The Advertiser his client had no plans to report to police despite Pentecostal church officials advising him to reveal details of any cash that may have been raised deceptively.

I’m hoping this guy cooperates and does the right thing (I made my own little list here).

So I’m sitting here watching “Beauty Shop” (don’t ask), and I ask my wife, “who’s that comedian guy with the really buggy eyes that had his own TV show?”

And she says, “Yeah that’s Bernie Mac, and you know he died right?”

To which I respond, “Whaaaaaaaaaaat?”

Yes, I just found out, and I am sad. I swear that guy was funny. Oceans 11, 12 & 13 wouldn’t be the same… I’m gonna miss him.

The blogosphere is bursting at the seams with this news. With encouragements, admonishments, anger, sadness, finger pointing, and forgiveness. I’ve read almost all of your posts and comments - great stuff, great perspective. If this is something new to you, go get a “big picture” point of view on this issue. Here’s my best attempt at a comprehensive list of bloggers in my neck of the woods who’ve posted about Michael Guglielmucci (in no particular order, and thanks to Joel, who had a pretty nice list himslef):

If you live in California you are now in month two of a ridiculous law: no holding your phone to your ear to talk. Oh you can text all you want, but don’t hold that phone to your face. For me, I’m always pushing my bluetooth into my ear so I can hear, so I might as well be holding a phone. Here’s a great little video that shares my sentiments:

Anyone seen a protest site for this law? Maybe I should start one.

What a hot topic this has become, and I’m sure will continue to be… Many of you, my blogging friends have written some great posts and comments on this issue. Some really good, sad, and interesting comments if you take the time to read through. But today I have something else on my heart. It’s this man, this guy named Michael, who is a man. A man who made a very bad choice. A pastor who lied to his family, to his church, to the entire world (at this time these are still the facts reported). A musician who took advantage of people who yearn to worship God through song. A person who manipulated and lied to millions of people, using one of the most feared and devastating diseases to pull on people’s heart strings: cancer. And here is how history will remember him:

The Christian/Worship blogosphere is buzzing this morning with the recent news surrounding the song “Healer”. Here’s the short of it:

A FORMER Adelaide pastor who inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his with his terminal cancer “battle” has been exposed as a fraud.

Michael Guglielmucci, whose parents established Edge Church International, an Assemblies of God church at O’Halloran Hill, is now seeking professional help. Earlier this year, Mr Guglielmucci released a hit song The Healer which was featured on Sydney church Hillsong’s latest album. It debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA charts.The song has become an anthem of faith for believers, many of whom are suffering their own illness and were praying for a miracle for Mr Guglielmucci, who has claimed for two years to be terminally ill

It appears that Mr Guglielmucci, who was a pastor with one of Australia’s biggest youth churches, Planetshakers, may have even deceived his own family.
