Friday Nite in OKC

September 19, 2008 10:59 PM | permalink | comments: 1

MinistryCOM ended today. Tomorrow, Pam and I head to Branson for a few days. So what of our Friday night? We headed to Bricktown, a renovated area near downtown Oklahoma City with lots of restaurants, the Triple A baseball stadium, and other stuff.

  • Ate at Earls' Rib Palace.
  • Walked around for a while.
  • Took a boat ride on the canal.
  • Got some ice cream at a Coldstone Creamery knock-off (good, but not as good as Coldstone).
Then we went to the Oklahoma City Memorial from the 1995 bombing of the FBI building. We'd been told that at night, it was lit up real neat. It was. An interesting memorial, but I desperately needed something to tell me what the various parts mean. I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
