Geek Gifts for Couples

Today it's Friday and there are only 15 more shopping days till Christmas [COUNT DOWN HERE].

The past few Fridays I recommended biblically authorized geek Gifts for HimFor HerFor the Kids, a special selection of Black Friday gifts and Geek Gifts over $100. Remember, each Friday, from now until Rudolph and Santa clamor on your rooftop, I am going to suggest Geek Gifts. This week, it's couples.

I did get a kick out of the Target gifts for couples. On the list were slow cookers, an 8 pack of Memphis Solar Lights and the Office: Season 6 on DVD. Those sort of gifts make me soooo grateful for Mary Anne.
J/K! My wife and I say no thanks to that sort of boring stuff.

Don't worry, in spite of the fact that some of this Friday's gifts use batteries, there will be nothing like that. You can shop Frederick's of Hollywood on your own.

I also checked out findgift.com and well. They had same sort of boring stuff. I did like the Dog Lessons for People Plaque, and Photo-Opoly which you can customize your game board with personal photos.

Finding geek gifts for couples is tough because most electronic devices are personal; selfish in fact. IE: Personal MP3 Player and personal computer. But yours truly has managed to find a few that should be appealing to both of you while you are in the same room.

Star Wars Light Sabers: Great for your next argument and far safer than handguns.


Luke 22:49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, ā€œLord, should we strike with our swords?ā€

Laser Trip Wire: No coming home late without being recorded! Also good for sending off an alarm when the little one is coming down the hall at an inopportune times.

Isaiah 8:15 Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.

LED "Blow" On and Off Candles: Set the mood on fire, not the house!

Hebrews 9:2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.



Microwave Smores Maker: That's right, no campfire needed! Even if Hubby is a total geek, he can fire this up on behalf of both of you and you'll still be in bed in time for Law & Order.

Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ā€œWhere do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?ā€
Catapult: Some times old is still geeky. This model catapult can be used to pass the salt during a romantic dinner. It can also be a load of laughs loading it up with treat for the cat of the dog. Guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment on your next date night.

2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Recycled Motherboard LED Christmas Tree: Better than a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Decorated with resisters, transistors and bright red LEDs, this printed circuit board Christmas Tree is sure to light up your studio apartment.

1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

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...
