What?!? Scott's not blogging anymore?

No. I'm not blogging anymore. But, you can still take in all the wonderful hilarity, the occasional seriousness, and the frequent stupidity in the archives. And the videos? They are conveniently hosted on my YouTube page here. They're also scattered throughout the archives, so be sure to check out every post! Also, I have a site called Refresh Weekend where I get serious spiritually, which ironically can be found at refreshweekend.com. Or here.

My Last Post

I just wanted to remind you that yesterday was my last post. Though, I suppose since I'm reminding you today, that would make today my last post. Sorry.

My Last Blog Entry

My very first blog entry was a little daunting. I stared at the space in the box and tried to figure out some way to make it interesting. I didn't in the end, but it was my first blog. Now it's New Year's Eve. It's an end to 2010 and this stupid thing I've been doing here, and the space beneath is laughing at me again. I want to say something profound... you know, leave you with some nugget of truth or something. But instead, I'll just end with Happy New Year. Happy New Year!

A Parting Thought - This Movie of Life

Life is a lot like a movie. I'm an actor and I was cast in it. But my agent didn't let me preview the script. So I act out each scene not knowing what happens in the end, or even in the next scene. I only know what has happened in the previous scenes. It's totally fruitless to try to imagine the ending. I do know the very end right before the credits roll, and I like it. I've seen it in Revelation. And I know that I'm not the star as I had thought. I'm not the main character in my own movie. The world doesn't revolve around me. Imagine that! I'm really more of a supporting actor... almost an extra. And I'm completely fine with that. (I do know that I get to share in the royalties!)

I guess all I'm trying to say here is that we need to "play out our parts" with the scripts we're handed. The Director knows what He's doing. He knows where the scenes are set, and the other actors and actresses He wants around us. We also need to keep in mind that His plan is not to create a horror movie of our lives. There will be drama and comedy for sure. Just trust. There will be days you'll wish you had a stunt double. There'll be days you won't look like you've been through "Hair and Makeup." But there'll be days when the lights are shining on you and you hear an excited, "Cut!" knowing you did your part and did it well.

For crying out loud remember this. God is love. God is the Word. The Word is Jesus. God and the Father are one. Jesus is love. The Word is love. Love casts out fear. If you feel fear, get in the Word. If you lack love in your life, get in the Word. If you don't know real love and you've never reached out for Jesus, you don't have to reach far. He's in every scene with you.

Mr. Sperry

For my 4th to last blog entry, I wanted to make sure I left you with a picture of my new friend, Albert Sperry. Mr. Sperry was named by my daughter Hannah and has meant a great deal to me since acquiring him in early November. You may look at him and say, "Scott, that's a garden gnome. Why did you buy a garden gnome?" And I'd reply, "He's not just a garden gnome, he's a football gnome. And he's the wisest gnome I've ever known." He's kind of Kris Kringly in a way, wouldn't you say?

AN UPDATE - Since publishing this post, Mr. Sperry has gone on to gnome heaven. He was cracked in half. I'd rather not talk too much about it. He was a trusted friend, and he will be missed.

A Post Christmas Poem

No one is reading this, my post Christmas poem.

So why am I writing it? This question I pose.

Blog readers are all with their families and friends,

And I needed to have a post today. So here it is.

That's not my family. I honestly have no idea who it is.

Merry Christmas!
