Nothing Profound

Some random thoughts:

Why is it that no matter how hard you try to do the right thing, you still make mistakes?

Why don't alcoholics stop drinking the first time they get arrested?

Why is it that kids never want help from their parents?

Do you think that is how God feels - that we don't want help?

Why don't people tell you they don't want your help before they start telling you their problems?

How come, even with a new PC, the Internet is still just as slow with the old one?

Why do you have to stay at work for lunch, if you aren't going to eat?

How can it be the same temperature in FL as it is in MA, yet everyone thinks that it is warm there?

Why is the braille on drive-through ATM machines?

How does Stevie Wonder know the car is red?

If magic tricks aren't really magic, why don't they just tell us how they do them?

If life is just a vapor, then how come we still have long days?

The CD that was playing in the hospital when Charlotte was born, is on now.

Have you seen any polls on Al Gore's popularity since the global freeze in DC?

If we are supposed to hear from God, then why does everyone start their sentences with "I think?"

Did Joe Biden know that Scott Brown was a military lawyer before he chastised him about trying terrorists in civilian court?

When is vacation?

Is anyone still trapped in Haiti?

What are you thinking about today?

My thoughts are on family and the fact mine is about to expand again.

I absolutely adore my girls, and I find myself filling with anxiety as my oldest gets closer to high school.

Good post. I like these from time to time.

"Why is it that kids never want help from their parents?"

Because they think they know more than the parents. I would think God feels the same way about us sometimes.


"How can it be the same temperature in FL as it is in MA, yet everyone thinks that it is warm there?"

That is easy. In Fla. they don't have 3 feet of snow on the ground.


"Have you seen any polls on Al Gore's popularity since the global freeze in DC?"

That is not fair. He is snowed in and can't get out thankfully.

What am I thinking about? I would gladly trade the high mounds of snow I have dug out of for white beach sands in my shoes in Florida. Getting too old to be digging out of snow every day.

I don't know but I definitely relate.

Why is it that kids never want help from their parents?
My 17 & 15yr old sons are certain that they know EVERYTHING. My 21yr old is starting to realize that there is lots he doesn't know, so he will sometimes now request help.

What am I thinking about? I'm trying not to think about the fact that I showed up for a job interview yesterday and the woman who set up the interview with me never showed up. Turns out she'd requested yesterday off a long time ago. She still has not called me today (the receptionist said she'd let the woman know I'd shown up for our scheduled interview).

When is the next Biblical Resume gonna be posted?

How awesome is it that an entire new group of friends was opened up to my wife and me because of another blogger being a fan of Darrell Evans?

I think about this past Monday. My daughter was with her grandparents all weekend and I so missed her and couldn't wait to come home on Monday after work and see her, hug her and kiss her. Well she ran to the door when I was unlocking it, but then immediately went back to some Valentine's toys she got over the weekend. I was a little discouraged and hurt because I so would have enjoyed her to come and sit with me and talk yet she was more interested in playing with her toys.

I think God feels that discouragement and hurt when we do the same to Him. He is so willing to come to us and wants us to come to Him but we get too busy with our toys. Too busy with our DVRs. Too busy with making money. Having children definitely helps me understand the mind of God a little bit more.

Mad Libs: An Unforgettable Church Service

Hopefully you have heard of Mad Libs (R) ! They are stories that you blindly fill in the blanks for articles of grammar and then read the completed story. Since I was a kid, these have always been a hoot. I decided to make up my own. Just fill in the blanks next time you are at small group and then read it back. It is sure to shake up a few religious spirits. An Unforgettable Church Service We arrived at _________ ( time of day ) at the Church of the Holy _________ ( noun ).

God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy

There was a discussion on Facebook today about how some people think Christians are "whack jobs." Regardless, God is still great. I don't really know much about beer. I haven't had one in just about 30 years. There are a lot of folks that consider themselves to be Christian. Some because they do good, and others because they have faith in God or are born again-- and others because they grew up in a Christian denomination. Far be it from me to decide who is in, and who is out. Some say we'll be surprised at who is going to be there, and others say who think they are in will be surprised when they are rejected at the Pearly Gates. Hmmm... But let's say you are a real Christian who is feeling passionate about doing something for God. You know something beyond throwing a few bucks in the offering plate and trying to be a good person. The church calls it service or ministry, which could include such things as: reading scriptures on Sunday morning, planning a harves...

5 1/2 The Home Group Experience

For years I have attended small groups, or home fellowships as they are sometimes called. They are an interesting blend of intimacy, arm chair theology and the real Jesus. Here is my take on the anatomy of a home or small group meeting -1 Worship: This is the time when we tell the Lord how much we love him in song. We praise him as the wight of the world lifts off our shoulders and we come into the presence of Almighty God. Err - get something to drink, take a large handful of chocolate covered pretzels because we skipped dinner, and make a plan for the soft couch instead of the miniature folding chairs from kids church. -2 Unofficial Potty Break: On the 15th chorus of I Could Sing of Your Love Forever (how come no one dances to that song?) it's a good time to beat the rush. Beware, once someone gets up, it is a sign for others to make their moves for the coffee pot, the peanut dish and the brownies. It is a li...
