• Jason Pauli lives in Erie, PA with his wife, 3 sons, and baby girl. He's a pastor at Grace Church where he spends a lot of time with teenagers.

I have a few questions about the online church…

If you could only hear one sermon a week would it be from your church or one you could access online?

Who are you fighting against?

I saw this this morning for the second time in a month on an athlete’s shirt:

“It’s you vs. you”

“You or someone you know will fight in this war.”

When President Bush declared a war on terror years ago, I stood in front of a group of students and said the above quote.

Justin is the first to go. Dear Jesus please watch.

10 Great Movies From the 80s – 10 more reasons why the 80s rock and the decade you grew up in stinks! Day 7 (A 2FER!)

In memory of Patrick Swayze…

Today we’re terrified of the flu of the day and countries with nukes that can only launch them with a catapault.  Back in the 80s we knew how many ICBM’s were pointed at us and who was doing the pointing!

Enter Patrick Swayze and the Wolverines to save us!

Any man worth his Man Card is stopping at this when channel surfing at 2 in the morning. You gotta love the Fighting Philosopher :)

I can’t believe I almost forgot this!

The movie that launched a few dozen catchphrases that are still in circulation today!

My brother will never admit it, but we watched this movie over and over again. I think I’ll get him the DVD for Christmas :)

80s synth pop, lots of cool martial arts moves, and the “Glow”!

Just check out this movie poster and tell me you don’t want to go see it right now!

I am now a fan of the worst team in the history of professional sports :(

The Pittsburgh Pirates have now had 17 straight losing seasons. I honestly don’t know how management can live with themselves!

Ironically, Pittsburgh’s other two professional teams both won their championships this year. My goodness, just drive across town and get some advice for Pete’s sake!

Released in 1980, “Airplane” barely makes it in!

I’m proud to say I watched this movie so many times, at one point I had it memorized.

C’mon now… Loyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Kareem Abdul Jabaar… need I go on?

And who could forget Johnny?

If you’re a guy, and you’re channel surfing, and you come across this movie, and you keep going, then you should have your Man Card taken away and taken out of the gene pool for the good of humanity.

I guarantee if they ever remake this movie it’ll be an abomination. Why? Because Arnold won’t be Conan.

Admit it… Arnold was the best actor in the 80s hands down!

Best quote?
“What is best in life?”
Conan – “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”

Because I was a psych major, I could legitimately use one of the best lines in this movie… “Back off man. I’m a scientist.”

This movie had it all:
Incredible theme song
(Watch it and try to name all the celebrities including a current governor!)
Amazing cast
Cool logo
And who could forget that car!
