Mariner's Church review

Loved it. 

It was only slightly over an hour instead of Saddleback's 1.5+ hour services.
It had a lot of similiar things as Saddleback, so it wasn't complete shell shock, and they are things I like in a church.
It didn't feel as over the top as Saddleback is starting to get already has been feeling.
The pastor said "CRAP," ha ha ha.
The pastor talked about real life stuff (money, the recession, stress over making ends meet, consumer debt) and used the bible A LOT.
No fill in the blank cards to dumb it down.
The music was a lot of the same with some old classics like, "Holy, holy, holy" thrown in. (It's not the Saddleback Overdrive (rock music) venue, but that just makes me want to download more Christian rock anyways instead of only listening to it on Sundays.
They have this big field and tons of toys and footballs and kickballs and stuff for families and kids. That was cool.
They have a "cafe" that looks like Starbucks meets Sonshine Christian bookstore. You can also watch church in there on flatscreens.
They only have a few thousand members instead of 20-thousand.
Next week they are having a free lunch for single moms to celebrate them. It makes me want to drag the woman I referred to in last night's post.

I asked Chris and he agrees, we're going back next week.

Where to get your grub on for Cinco de Mayo

Yes I know it's a Mexican holiday, and yes I know most Americans don't really know what it stands for, but as a native of So Cal, it might as well be a national holiday here too (hell we have enough Mexicans living here) and reason to eat Mexican food and drink margs. Ole!

Where to get your grub on in So Cal. YUMMY!!!

Dallas is going on to round 3

Well it took 4 overtimes and a power play goal, but Dallas just beat San Jose.

I left the house as they were heading into O.T. I went to the post office, Fresh & Easy, Ralph's, and dropped a CD off at Pam and Jim's. I came home and they were still playing in the 3rd OT.

Here we sit, groceries are still in the car, and the game just ended.

Dammit, I was really hoping San Jose would knock out Dallas. 

Karma can get walked tomorrow night.
