“…Can He love me? I want out of hell.” (excerpt from “John Lennon’s Born-Again Phase”)
Posted by felipebeach under UncategorizedLeave a Comment
Although a bit of a long one, this rerun from Christianity Today magazine is a good one. Coming on the heels of famed evangelist Oral Roberts’ passing this last week, this is an account of his correspondeces with John Lennon, the last person you’d think would be writing letters to a television preacher. Enjoy…
John Lennon’s Born-Again Phase
“Can He love me?” the former Beatle asked Oral Roberts. “I want out of hell.”

In the spirit of holiday giving, I give you the gift of a corny internet list I’ve stumbled upon a few times; some of these things are just about little kids & angels, but, occasionally, one comes across that you laugh at while feeling smug that you know why each joke is funny (kind of like a New Yorker cartoon). Enjoy… (more…)

How to Cook a Turkey Dinner (2009 Edition)
Posted by felipebeach under Streams of Consciousness, That Reminds Me of a Story..., Uncategorized1 Comment
Once again (as in 2007 and 2008), we here at Felipe Beach are happy to present you with sage advice (no pun intended) for you as you prepare your family’s Thanksgiving feast, as presented by a friend at my former elementary school workplace. Maybe these families should stick with takeout this year…
Poor Mrs. V! She has to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year! To help her out, she asked a team of expert chefs—her second graders—how THEY would cook a turkey dinner. Here’s what they said: (more…)

Got you excited there, huh?
Well, let me bring you back down. There is no prize. You will not receive a prize in the mail, nor should you have expectations of such (a statement which frees me from any legal obligation to send you anything 
).
I will say this, however: my two favorite holidays of the year are coming up this month. (more…)

…and, after a long radio silence, I can happily confirm the boring-ness of my latest MRI scan! No new tumor growth, and just some normal post-surgical fluid weirdness on the outside (have run it by several doctors, and none of them have any concerns, so I’m good with that). As my oncologist (cancer doc.) put it, “Boring is good in this office.”
Thanks to all of you who prayed for those results, and haven’t got tired of my drama-queen head and its occasional health tantrums… (more…)

…but I just wanted to reassure people that (a) I’m still alive, and (b) I’m still healthy. This fall finds me mixing Grad School with full-time employment at a Middle School – a combination with a similar effect on my free time as that of mixing mentos and diet coke. But, hey, I chose this path voluntarily (or, rather, I finally heard that it was the right one), so no whining!
Later in October, I’ll be getting my next MRI scan, with (in the words of my last report) more “unremarkable” results; I’ll keep you all posted (probably not many posts before then, though).
How about you? Anything interesting going on lately? (you can always leave a comment with the words “personal note” or something like that, and I’ll delete it as soon as I read it, for you cowards that don’t like to post online ).
Have a great week!
