Throck Manash: November 2008
http://charlysommers.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. God Loves Movies. I know it. Certainly there are countless movies that God abhors because of the content. But He loves the medium and how it can awaken and enkindle so much within our spirit. The common theme in all these films is the accomplishment of victory against a seemingly invincible opponent and insurmountable odds. That's why you never grow tired of watching Jimmy Chitwood sink the final field goal in Hoosiers. Everyone I know cried when Ray Kinsella was finally able ...

Throck Manash: Sprint does not want me to unplug.
http://charlysommers.blogspot.com/2010/09/sprint-does-not-want-me-to-unplug.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Sprint does not want me to unplug. Yesterday I put part one of my social experiment into action by successfully canceled texting from my cell phone line. Today was the first day in a long time that I haven't received any texts. Several times this morning I caught myself checking to see if I had any missed texts alerts. Of course I had none. By 11am I stopped checking. The discount will not increase, so it will be the same 6-12 months from now. I'm also considering making ...

Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Sledding Vol. 2. We visited my parent house recently. Posted by Charly Sommers. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Monday, January 5, 2009. All Good Things Must Come To An End . . . This weekend we took our Christmas tree down. In our house, the Christmas tree goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving, and comes down New Year's Day. I can say with confidence that this is officially and predictably one of my least favorite days of the year. There are many reasons for this:. In 1997 I was a...

Throck Manash: October 2009
http://charlysommers.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. I'm Beginning to Understand Blogs. The vast number of blogs is also evidence of another variable in this discussion. There are simply too many words out there. Marilyn McEntire wrote in the September 2009 issue of Christianity Today about the careful use of language, (. Letting Words Do Their Work". Http:/ www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2009/september/32.55.html. If you appreciate language and the careful use of words, you will highly appreciate this article. Why does the phone.

Throck Manash: April 2010
http://charlysommers.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 16, 2010. What's that noise, Daddy? My daughter Rose asked. "That's a car alarm, sweetheart. Somebody's set it off by accident." It's 9am and we're sitting at the breakfast table playing her new favorite card game: War. I'm reminded why we don't have a car alarm - I hate them. For as long as I can remember I've detested unnecessary, repetitive noises. Vibrating change in the ashtray, dripping faucets, barking dogs and especially car alarms. Someone get that thing turned off! I say not exact...

Sunday, March 22, 2009. Top 25 Songs of Summer. This is a list of my Top 25 Songs for Summer. Twenty-five isn't nearly enough to cover much ground, but we'll at least get a start. The songs on this list are tied to strong vibes and emotions that awaken my mind and heart to summer. As a smell can trigger powerful memories, these songs are tied to specific places, times, and activities of summers throughout my life. 3 Switchin' to Glide - The Kings (1980). 7 The Boys of Summer (1984) - Don Henley - His bes...

Throck Manash: Social Experiment
http://charlysommers.blogspot.com/2010/09/social-experiment.html
Monday, September 13, 2010. I recently decided to give up texting as the first half of a two-part social experiment. I started using texts frequently about two years ago, eventually paying for a plan giving me 300 texts per month. To some people, 300/mo. sounds like a ridiculously small amount seeing as my 17-yr. old nephew sends twice that many in one day. My text usage has continued to increase, causing me many frustrating overages. Will I forget or get lost on my way to my appointments without my Palm?

Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The Miracle of Scrubs. The last three TV shows my wife and I began to follow and like were cancelled within two years. The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Boston Legal. Scrubs was actually taken off the air for about a year while it transitioned to ABC from NBC. So it's like it's back from the dead. More later . . . Posted by Charly Sommers. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Does God reveal His mystery? WHAT IS THROCK MANASH?
