1950 Chevrolet Chop Top
Well I have been too busy to blog if there is such a thing, but amidst a schedule Thunder and I took some time to chop the top on a Summer cruiser…
Before:
And because although these cars are cool looking, we decided to chop it 4 inches in the front and 7 in the rear…
Thunder said “if things don’t work out I can always work in China… ”
We had to pie cut the A pillars then weld them back up…
AFTER:
Mocked up with some Wide Whites…
It’s going to take some sewing back together but you get the point…

Recession…
Not sure why I have been in such a journaling recession… it’s not a matter of time… I never have much of that… It’s not a matter of will, I feel like I can journal, just don’t have much incentive. It’s not a matter of technology, everything is up and running and easier than ever… maybe I just need to figure it out…

Christians or Worship people?
It’s not like i had a whole lot of intentionality about it… I suppose about a decade ago as culture was growing towards post-Christendom, i distanced myself from words like Christian… although obviously the context literally meant Christ-like, it seemed it meant much more to the folks we were hanging out with- in thier mind’s.
Christian - (Adj) 1)To act self righteous, condemning, hateful, prideful; 2) lacking 3) lacking humility or disdain for all things. 4) lacking compassion, or sentiment.
So i’m not saying that’s what we thought, it’s just it seemed like all of our friends saw that (hopefully not in us), so as a result we sort of just lost contact with that as a word and chose others as descriptors.
Now many years later, it seems that the word in a post-Christendom society has completely lost its original intent… Which is probably why it seems much easier to use… funny things are, i have noticed that our kid’s don’t use it…
Recently I heard one retelling of a church experience, and she said
“There was these people, they were worship people…um yah, and they were singing like you know, worship people do, with thier hands… and her butt was shaking like this (wiggle, wiggle)”.
I kind of chuckled to myself as i heard her use the word worship people… Then just the other day, another one was describing the Simpson’s ( a family favorite) and as they were describing a scene.
He went on to describe a typical Simpson episode, where our favorite howdily dowdily neighbor Ned Flanders was doing something predictable; offending somebody with overt kindness, and of course the disposition of that act spun the whole Simpson family into chaos…
So admist my son’s giggles as he was describing it… Of course he knew every character’s name on the show… but the Flanders.
“Dad I you know that episode in the Simpson’s where that Worship people guy… What’s his name? you know the Worship People guy?…”
I could die happy being known as the Worship People…
++make me a worship people++
