“Where were you when you heard the news..?”
A question I’ve heard over the years to describe “important” events in history. 9/11, JFK Shooting, the most recent Tsunami and now…the death of Michael Jackson. For me, not quite as big as big a deal a catastrophe like those other events, but still…the dude was a legend.
I was golfing yesterday afternoon, and within minutes of the story breaking, the Cart-Girl told us that he had died…
As I thought about it (and all the worship of a man that was about to ensue) I thought about how crazy it was that the “King of Pop” was now about to meet the “King of Glory.” Even as I write this blog, with the T.V on in the background, I hear a old woman crying about how she is heartbroken and doesn’t “know how she can move on…” as Michael was “everything to her…”
How Sad.
We so quickly exalt these sinful men and women to iconic levels. My dad and I were talking yesterday and he said something that really made me think. As we discussed the TRAIN-WRECK that is Michael Jackson (“Wacko Jacko“), my dad said that MJ was really the perfect picture of the TOTAL “depravity of man. From icon to nut-job, the guy was worshiped in spite of his sin and was held in a place that is reserved for the God of the Universe ALONE.
So where does that leave us? Well, I am left saddened that this pop-legend has now MET the living God and SEEN how his life was such a waste!

I have learned my lesson.
I have largely remained quiet about the whole Jon & Kate + 8 “thing.”
Thus far, I have never seen 1 online event that is as widely followed as today’s big Apple Meeting. Here’s a picture I snapped on my twitter to demonstrate how Apple owned the day…
So it’s not secret that when you have a baby, you don’t get the sleep that you once did. It’s just a fact…6 hours is amazing…9 hours is not happening…
