Sunday Night Update

Posted on November 16, 2008 | Filed Under Pointless Rambling, Sunday Night Updates

Some random thoughts from today:

We have seen around 17 people give their lives to Christ in the last month. That just rocks!!!
We raised over $1300 for XL Gives Back at the benefit concert Friday night.
The family that we are helping through XL Gives Back has been at XL two weeks in a row.
Sunday mornings at West Rome have just been amazing for the last month.
We worked at the XL House all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It was awesome.
I had to teach tonight from sitting on a stool becuase of the above schedule!
I went to bed at 8:35 Saturday night.
Jordan is about to pull her own tooth. Sorry, just a side not of distraction.
We have tons of new people coming to West Rome and XL right now. That’s fabulous!
Cliff does an awesome job of leading our church in worship every Sunday morning.
Texas A&M is killing me!
Our Staff is the best in the world.
Craig, Gina, and Floyd work ridiculously hard to make things happen.
It’s going to be a long week of work on the XL House.
The reveal Sunday night will make it all worth it.
Makenzie turned two yesterday and you can ALREADY tell!!!
Now, the Cowboys are killing me.
It was overall a great day and a great weekend. God continues to show off.
I’m out!

Sponsoring “The Mick”

Posted on October 13, 2008 | Filed Under Pointless Rambling

Don’t miss this opportunity to sponsor “The Mick”. That would be Mickey Seward for those of you that don’t know. I’ve decided that Mickey is such a special person that he deserves sponsorships just for being “The Mick”. Only Mickey, and Christy, truly understand how tough it is to be “The Mick” all day everyday. You have to plan your lunch by 9:00AM. You are required to drive a car with ONLY one hub cap. He just couldn’t be “The Mick” with two or more hubcaps. Plus, he’s the only fan the Detroit Lions still have. Sure, it’s tough being “The Mick” but my man Mick can get it done. Just respond on this site with your business name and logo to have it put on the shirt. We’ll be collecting for a little while. Of course jarrodroberts.com will be sponsoring him. I know he LOVES to read this blog so I wouldn’t dare let this opportunity pass me by. I’ll post some possible designs soon!

Give it up for “The Mick” everybody!!!!!

Party Update

Posted on August 24, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Pointless Rambling, Uncategorized

Before I do the Sunday night report, I have to start with the birthday party update. I will say this right from the beginning, we will never be doing that again! Not that we don’t love all the children, we just don’t need ALL the children staying over at one time. I knew we were going to have a problem when I was in the garage digging through the trash for one girls glasses. Wow, what a beautiful thing that was. But, when you put 10 3rd grade girls together for about 12 hours, you know they can’t all get along. You can’t put 2 girls together for that long and have them get along, much less 10. So, all in all, the house is sill in one piece. although my recliner may have a little trouble, and everyone seems to have made it out alive. I’m just saying, if you want to have a sleepover party, limit it to about two friends. Not ALL of the friends.

One of my favorite conversations of the night went like this:
Christina Floyd: Mr. Jarrod, I’m hot.
Jarrod: Ok, what do you want me to do?
Christina: Well, make it colder.

You gotta love’em!

But, Taylor had fun and that’s all that matters really, right? There ya go.

A Cheetah Girls Birthday Party

Posted on August 22, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Pointless Rambling

Well, here we go. I’m sure I’ll need to be posting some interesting happenings on the blog tomorrow, but tonight is the big night. Taylor is turing 8 years old next week and tonight is the big time “sleepover” birthday party. I’m pretty sure Tiffany has been running around like crazy trying to get ready for this big blow out. I don’t know how many loud, energetic, wild and crazy, little girls there will be at my house tonight. But I know that’s too many! Any of you guys out there doing any “manly” stuff tonight? I might need to come over for a while.

So, for Taylor, she’s awesome and I’ll be blogging about her on her actual birthday next week. But, for tonight, I’ll keep the camera ready for any opportunity to make some cash. You have fun tonight, wherever you are. You know I will!!!

Motorcycle License

Posted on July 25, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Pointless Rambling

Wow!!! I finally went to the license office today to take the riding part of the motorcycle test. The scary part is that I passed. I would be careful with those riders out there. Some of them might not be able to ride so well. I’m just sayin… I will say that I think I just BARELY passed the test and probably just because the lady doing the test was so nice. When you hear things like, “I trust that you’ll get better at that over time” and “you have one more test and you don’t have many points to play with” you know you experiences the grace factor!! And, trust me, I’m ALL about the grace factor.

Anyway, most of my friends and family are probably really worried about this news because they believe that, if I did get a motorcycle, I’d be dead within a week. All I know is that would be one FAST week, that’s all I’m sayin.

Anway, I don’t have a motorcycle, and really don’t have the money to go buy one, but I have always wanted to get the license and today was the day. Wish me luck as I start begging my friends to let me ride their very expensive motorcycles. Actually, you should probably pray for all of them more than me.

Remind anyone you know that we are doing the raffle out at XL for the 2004 Harley V-Rod. The tickets are only $50 each and this bike is definitely worth it. And, your money goes to the great cause of “XL Gives Back” when we will be helping a family in need with their house this fall.

There you go. That’s pretty much the day.
