Overheard confession of a dog owner

A couple months ago I was sitting in a restaurant eating lunch when I overheard an odd confession at an adjacent table.  A young high school looking girl said the following to her male friend:  “My parents leave the TV on all night long for the dog.”

Wow.  At first I thought this was just plain funny.  But then it occurred to me that these people were wasting quite a lot of electricity by leaving the TV on all night long.  They must really really love their dog!

Help save the historic Allentown Union Hall!

WOW!  Nice article in the Pantagraph about the fundraising auction!  Click here to read it!

The old historic Allentown Union Hall (a.k.a. Allentown Hall) needs our help. It was structurally damaged over the winter months and if it is not repaired soon it will have to be torn down for safety reasons.  The Allentown Hall was built in 1892 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There are two ways that you can help save the Allentown Hall.  You can donate something to the auction fundraiser or you can buy something from the auction fundraiser.  Details about this auction fundraiser are on the attached flyer:

Yes, I’m a cheesy actor. Thanks for noticing.

Okay, there’s no more denying it.  I’m one of those cheesy actor types.  Now that hundreds of Park Avenue Baptist Church members have seen the Father’s Day service introduction video that I did last weekend, the cat is totally out of the bag.

In case you want to watch it for yourself and make fun of me later, here is the video on YouTube:
