The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

I just found out a little while ago that my truck’s transmission has to be overhauled. It’s costing me at least 2,000 dollars. I only thought it was going to be a minor problem, but when AAMCO transmissions says you need an overhaul, that’s probably OK. At least I hope it’s OK. I hope all [...]

I found out today that I have to discontinue the anti-depressant Luvox. That’s something I’m very not happy with, considering I’m feeling a lot better than I had been. The Clozapine level in my blood is too high, and there’s a risk of seizures if I remain on Luvox. I’d almost say screw the risk, [...]

Pastor Bob spoke about transformation in church today. He’s challenging us to transform from pride, arrogance, and selfishness to humility, serving and helping others. He also spoke of love being an action, not a feeling. Another thing I’ve noticed is that Bob says (and this is true) that you don’t have to like someone, but [...]

A letter from the VA lady identified the individual who is going to be my accountant arrived today. I gave this gentleman a call to kind of “shake hands”, and he sounded nice, and told me to give him a call in mid November to schedule a time where we can meet and go over [...]

One of the first television programs to show what an “ideal” home could be was Father Knows Best. It seems the woman playing the wife/mother, Jane Wyatt, has died. I remember seeing reruns of the show for only God knows how long. It was a great family show for its time. And Ms. Wyatt was [...]

Pastor Jason talked about being relevant as a church, so we can reach out to other churchs and help more people experience the love of Christ, and are transformed into people who want to serve God, out of love for Him and for love of others. It’s really amazing to hear that Eaglebrook gets to [...]

I am still up, and it’s quarter to twelve. I don’t know why. I guess this is the life of the lazy cat in me. I hope and pray that there will be a few showings this weekend. This shack has been on sale for 8 months. Come on, someone out there must want a [...]

Field Exam went very well. The lady and the guy that was with her were upbeat, kindly, and helped me accustomed to the process. When they had written down all the info on the accounts, the piles of bills were ripped to pieces, and show that there aren’t a lot of bills I have to [...]

I just talked to a lady at VA. The field examination is tomorrow at 1300. I have to go and retrieve all my bills. I wish I could say it’s fairly easy, but it’s not. I am happy that progress is being made, but I’m really scared as to what’s going to happen tomorrow. I [...]

Pastor Bob hammered out what God has been doing, and what He is going to do, for the people of the community. Because we want more people to give their lives to Christ, Eaglebrook is going to expand Lino and White Bear Campuses, plant a third church, Get some offices to take care of the [...]
