Friday Geek Gifts for Kids

The past 2 Fridays I recommended biblically authorized geek Gifts for Him and For Her. This year while you are skipping the smoking jackets and skimpy nighties, you can add some of you favorite kids or nieces and nephews if you have any.

Gone are the days of Barbie and Daisy BB Guns.

This generation of kids, although sometimes suffering from entitlement and other serious social disorders such as rolling eyes, is pretty tech savvy - and you don't want to disappoint a kid on Christmas!

There are only 36 days left to shop [COUNT DOWN HERE], and here is your chance to win big for the kids in your life.

Each Friday, from now until Santa bites the cookie, I am going to suggest suitable gifts for men, woman, couples, children of every age and maybe even pets. Here are some inspired by imagination and fueled by a sugar high.

Lego MindStorms: This is the coolest of cool, and probably a blast for parents too! The Invention Kit is amazing. you can build robots, engines, machines and program their movements. Why do I get the feeling this only applies to me?


2 Samuel 7:3 Nathan replied to the king, ā€œWhatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you.ā€




Fizzy Bath Bomb Factory: The world can be a scary, fizzy place for a dirty kid! This will get them in the tub blowing up stuff and pulverizing dirt, leaving them washed white as snow. You can make your own bath bombs, funny foam, magic tricks, and more. Experiment with marbleized bombs, haunted balloons, and volcano mix.


John 13:10 Jesus answered, ā€œThose who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean.



RockStar: Every kid wants to be a rock star, but in the end, most just want to hang out with their friends. No more laying around an incense laden bedroom, with an iPod. With RockStar, they can hook up with their pals and listen to U2 or Anberlin.


Obadiah 1:2 "Listen to this, Edom: I'm turning you to a no-account, the runt of the godless nations, despised. You thought you were so great, perched high among the rocks, king of the mountain, Thinking to yourself, 'Nobody can get to me! Nobody can touch me!' Think again. Even if, like an eagle, you hang out on a high cliff-face, Even if you build your nest in the stars, I'll bring you down to earth." God's sure Word.


Levitation Wand: You kids can amaze their friends and if they work at it, pick up their rooms with this little gem.

Psalm 24:7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

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 ). It was ___________ ( day of week ) and we got out of the _________ ( mode of transportation ). We were dressed in our __________ ( day of week ) best.

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...
